@Les... New Theme!
« on: July 11, 2010, 05:41:47 PM »
Hey Les... looks like we've just found our next theme.  :happy:
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=forum;theme=74

I've already started working on some of the edits for credits and the like, are you up for designing a new 'Our FamilyForum' logo to replace the 'Calliope' that's in place now?

I'm going to try the existing member badges to see how they work with this theme.

Sorry Ken I have been helping my daughter move house, so been busy the last few days, but I will have a look at the logo for you, is there a psd for the theme do you know?

Thanks for looking Les... And, RL always comes first!  :2thumbs:


The only file I'm finding so far is the logo.png, don't see that Bloc has one available for download yet.

I love the header but think there should be more of it incorporated into the rest of the theme instead of just the colors from it. I'm talking about the images in the header.

EDIT: Also, in FF you cannot see some of the menu items like "Contact Us" and "Logout". They are still there  but just the same color as the background.

Read my last post, I edited it.

What you did with the logo is not an issue. That is great! I'm talking about the theme itself. Should have more of the header images in somewhere else too like the catbg or something.

If you scroll down the page or read a post you can't tell this theme from any other one. Nothing stands out.

It's looking good with the new logo, thanks Les.  :bigthumb:

Steve, you may be right about the bg... is there a way that we could try to have the image repeated so that we could take a look and see if we like it that way?

I'll post about this on BlocWeb to see if there is anything that can be done to correct that issue.

I think you can do it in the style.css...if I remember correctly. LOL

I'm not sure what it is but just think there should be more color or something to it somewhere so if you post or scroll down you can easily tell what theme this is. Make it stand out a bit more. ;)
