New forums graphics plan

[Karyete]

If we have enough people willing to do it we could kill two birds with one stone :p

If it doesn't require too much, maybe have an option to switch between the new and old forum layout? I remember that we were talking about an option to switch between the white and black versions of the new design ages ago, and this just popped into my head.

I personally want to see the boxy square borders turned into more rounded corners, but that's just me.

I'm not quite getting why things need to be more round today. I mean it's fine if it's like really really subtle. Otherwise it's looking plain odd. Especially if two rounded corners get close to each other.

[Kimonio]

It's really just how we don't have anything to separate the clash of colors between the blue background and gray post backgrounds.

In this case, I'd see a border as more suiting than trying to fix that with rounding corners. It might work well in combination, but certainly won't do the job alone.

Alright, I would like to gather a consensus on what we want the style to be.

The pictures I posted here and here are choices, but I would also like to ask if anyone feels any style on this site is good. You can click "previous" and "next" to try them all out.

After a bit of thought, I think that the white version would compliment the rest of the site well as every other section uses a white-on-blue with black headings. In terms of the presets, the only one I liked was the Artodia: Black as I think it uses the current forum's colors rather well. Of course, I didn't look through every single one of the themes, as that would be very time consuming.

That's not how you get consensus. A POLL's how you get consensus.

Still voting the dark theme, but still capable of finding a Chrome extension to fix any glare-y awfulness if that's what wins out.
