Anybody saw this one?

Flagship Theme

Hmmm...

DigitalEl · Jun 10, 2003, 08:53 AM

I like the colors, but there are still too many Aqua elements. I like the thin yellow line at the bottom of the Menu Bar. The widgets are pretty awful, though.

Stuphalina · Jun 10, 2003, 10:08 AM

Its... Interesting.
I think I like it.

Macanoid · Jun 10, 2003, 12:28 PM

way too loud for my liking.
Max' themes still reign supreme, followed closly by swiz!

Hi I'm Ben · Jun 10, 2003, 12:54 PM

it looks like garbage.

I think it is a great start. The colors are good, but the execution of the widgets is a bit sloppy. The symbols for the title bar widgets are too large in my opinion. Another thing is how the scroll bars seem to get lost. I guess one problem with a really colorful theme (or a theme without enough color) is that there isn't enough contrast so people have a hard time recognising the important stuff right away.

The colors remind me of the old x-men colored suits.

To whoever is doing this, good work, but keep it up. Rethink some of the widgets / color proximities.

prerelease with aqua elements still included...
he wants input...
many themes do not end uplooking anything
like a first draft...

it's a great start...

ahh its not too bad, looks allright actually, not to my personal taste but who knows. Maybe clean up the title bar corners a bit, they look a bit weird

by saying garbage i'm implying that the whole thing is trash and not to try to fix it. but scrap it all together and try something new. That thing is a hideous combination of aqua and someones nightmare.

I'm sorry, but I agree.

Though I'll give them credit for trying, it's hard work to make a theme.

I just noticed that it looks like it's based on the 'Post New Topic' and 'Post Reply' buttons at the bottom of this very forum page!

maybe because swiz creates... good color coded themes that match and dont look like crap? i mean, seriously, look at it constructivly and _say_ its not a horrible piece of work. you cant. im sorry, but the colors dont go well together, the widgets dont match, the scroll bars are some of the ugliest things i have ever seen before. im all about people expirimenting, but please, do it in good taste why dont cha?

exactly...you are bang on...it is hard work and
to tell someone his hard work is garbage is a
bit heavy (don't even know if this person even
comes around here)...couldn't a person use
more discretion and say...well the third pixel
on the left looks ok...
what i'm try to convey is we need to turn on
more themers, not turn them or future ones
off...

no one is perfect...

yes i know i don't need to press return but i
like short line length...easier to read.

Fallout · Jun 11, 2003, 05:15 PM

That's one of the ugliest themes I've ever seen.
