forums The "SoulSilver Luigia Theme" Feedback Thread

[Fallen]

What about all pokemon theme. Where all pokemon appear...

Good luck with making that theme work.

Hey what's that blue line on the SoulSilver Lugia Theme. I circled it in red:

EDIT: Also, look at the top-right side, the Total Private Messages is on the next line. And its colour is impossible to see, unless I highlight it.

Damn chrome ><;

I'll try to get it to work.

I like darker themes cause it not only saves power for my computer, it also helps my eyes a bit when i'm up at night looking around . But i like it anyway.

But if it were me i would have more of a deep sea thing to darken the colors and also really tell that lugia lives in the ocean.

I remember seeing somewhere (trustworthy) that black actually uses MORE power.

Hmm...

Perhaps when the pixels display black, they still have a considerable amount of power going to them (LCD), although I don't know about the older moniters.

I still like Site Theme best. The lack of a "Remember Me?" checkbox is quite a nuisance. I almost lost a huge RMT post I was doing because it logged me out while I was typing it.

I'll be sure to note that for the next theme.

The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of contrast over the last visited time and pm section.

Edit: On smaller resolutions the logout button up top exceeds the container width. On 1024 it spills over

Because the layout is fluid you'll have to adjust the padding to fix it in lower resolutions. I haven't had a look at 800 x 600 though.

Look in #navigation li, because you're using css shorthand you're adding 24 total pixels of padding between the menu links. You're missing including logout by 2-4 pixels so lower it to ten by changing padding: 11px 12px; to padding: 11px 10px;

#navigation li {
background: transparent url(hoiqantinhoc/pig/emu/style/navSplit.gif) no-repeat scroll right top;
float: left;
padding: 11px 10px;
}

Add "color: #fff;" to .memberBox to add contrast to the image above

Edit 2: looks like some change made somewhere is now causing the ad banner to shift down below because it doesn't have enough space to display in it's present condition at the 1024 screen resolution.

.bannerBox {

margin:44px 8px 0 0;

width:487px;

}

This doesn't allow for enough room at 1024, fair warning the fix below won't do much to help at the 800x600 resolution but it won't hurt as it will have to be done anyway when fixing for 800x600. You'll need to set min-widths along the entire container in order to fix the layout at that, but it will cause a scroll bar. Otherwise you're in for a real headache.

I should also note that adding margin to the right on an element that is floated to the right triggers a bug in IE6 causing that 8px to double to 16px. The double margin bug. If you have to add margin right or left to something good practice is to make sure the element you're adding it to isn't floated in that same direction. In such cases use padding as an alternative if possible.

This should fix it for the 1024 resolution

.bannerBox {

margin:44px 0 0 0;

width:480px;

}

//Nearly all of the issues pointed out are things that look fine in resolutions above 1024 but break when they are at those resolutions or lower. You'll want to check statistical data and see what resolutions the viewers of the site are looking at it in. A large percentage may lie in that region.

No "remember me" option and the fact that it's the forum's default theme means I have to log in every time I visit the forum. This one would be a thumbs-up if not for that.

[Liquiddi]

I like this. It's great to see something bright for a change. Though one thing bugs me: it's almost impossible to see any text on the Private Message bar besides the mentioned.

[chycorita]

It is a bit difficult to see. It's too wide.

[Narwhal]

I don't really like the look, and sigs aren't cut off either. I'm used to the Project Pokémon theme, too.

[COBHC]

i don´t like it at all
