New forums graphics plan

The "different colors" option has been winning almost the entire time the poll has been running. Out of curiosity, what different colors would people be interested in? Would we swap out the grey, blue, or both? I might mock some prototypes later on depending on feedback, I'm messing in Paint anyway.

I would love to keep some blue, or have some red. But I'm not picky as long as it's not pink or brown, which I don't see happening anyway :p

right now the "same colours" are in the lead, but if you can show me a concrete example of what you have in mind, I maybe change my opinion

I personally want an entire overhaul in everything, new colours and new everything. I know a lot of others probably won't like the idea at all but I kinda want to see what a complete overhaul would look like.

Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.

It will be hard not seeing the Runouw forums in blue, but I guess if it looks nice, why not.
Also the mobile forums are mainly blue, so if we have a new dominant color, these could be changed too
and if you ask, who even uses the mobile forums, well, i do, probably more than the actual forums

I don't even know how to access the mobile version of the forums. My android automatically goes to the normal layout and it looks suprisingly good on mobile.

I think that if we do change colors, blue should probably stay the same as, at least as I've seen it, it's been the dominant color for just about anything Runouw. The only things I've voted on were square borders and simplistic design, as the Runouw logo has a square-like look to it, and simplistic because I don't think we need anything fancy. Everything else I'm not really sure on.
The mobile version of the site is really quick, but ever since I've gotten my hands on better mobile technology, the regular site tends to load rather well on some of the devices.

Their forum scheme is developed to fit the tileset and color of the retro Super Mario Brothers 3 designs. Their text color for staff could use an overhaul, but as for signatures, that's not the site's fault if the user's don't take into account how it will fit the overall layout of the site.
As for the mobile site, it's a bit more iffy, as you have to take into account the different mobile devices and their limitations. Some can load Flash and HTML5, others..not so much.The reason it loads so much quicker, though, is because it neglects to load a fair bit of what the main site utilizes.To the best of my knowledge, it does not load signatures. For those curious, this is the sheet:
Spoiler: show
Out of pure boredom, I'll apply my choices in the poll to my side of the site and screencap it...just to see how it looks.
EDIT: Still playing with it.
EDIT2: I tried to change something in the stylesheet and it reverted everything

Lawl well, I don't have anything to show yet because I personally like the blue and grey and don't really care to change, but I'm messing with art programs for an entirely unrelated reason and figured out how to do a bunch of magic with it so I figured, why not? I'm really bad at art though so I'd probably do simple stuff similar to what BY did here, he's already got examples of a bunch of different colored backgrounds but if anyone wants a color he didn't do, or preview it with a different color instead of grey, I could give it a go in my downtime.

I believe we should have an option to make our own themes, so everyone can customize the website in their own way. If we can't do that, I kinda like an all black theme like Steam.
