Working on the forums theme

Post by kman » Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:03 pm

As you probably noticed, I've been working on the color scheme for the forums tonight. I'm trying to get it to match up with the main site. I've done about all I can do tonight so please bear with me and try to ignore that ugly green bar until I can figure out which color I need to change.

Ok...well let me take back part of that last comment. I gave it one last try and managed to replace the ugly green color with a nice, dark tan.

I'm not 100% happy with the new colors so I might do a little more tweaking tomorrow.

What do you guys think? Looks better? Eye-sore?

Thanks for the feedback, guys. And yes, dirtbag...sorry about the short notice...I should have posted an earlier message saying "don't worry, you're not going crazy...the colors really are changing" :-)

You'd better watch it, ak70g2 or I'll switch all the colors over to pink and tell everyone it was your request. :-)

Not really, Lifesaver. I'm trying to re-use the colors already on the site. That bar at the top might look black, but it's really the same color brown in the mreinfo logo at the top - maybe it's a bit heavy, though. The orange was built-in to the theme and I'm working on removing it.

Suggestions are always welcome!
