    config New Theme

    I'm entirely new here and so I imagine people will think I have no say in this and - right they are. But this is merely a suggestion. So please, don't waste your precious time flaming me for wanting to "change" those forums, cause it's fairly obvious that I am an unknown here at RZ and likely my opinion won't have much weight.

    I was just thinking to myself that I always wanted to make a great looking forum skin. Because frankly, all forums I have come across looked rather ugly or far too simple for my taste and that simple fact just happened to turn me off from being too active or contributing.

    Now, I am not saying RZ is ugly, because by all means it isn't. I was just thinking, wouldn't it be nice to maybe have something else too? I love Photoshop, however I coding isn't sufficient enough to code a forum skin.

    And while I love forums and would absolutely die to make my own skin, while I can design it, I can't code it. So in the end it is quite useless.

    But with the friendly help of some people here I imagine it could maybe be done?
    Anyhow, just throwing my mind-mish-mush in here!

    Just make a design then pitch it to Dan (Mental). It might not get accepted (hell, if Jhewt's and Kidd's designs won't get accepted, you're going to have to design a fucking masterpiece), but it won't hurt to try.

    Yeah, as Mike said just pitch it to MentaL. If you can accept criticism and work on any design problems outlined by members you will probably manage to create a design that many people like.

    Re: New Theme

    I'd be happy to code it and give feedback.

    Re: New Theme

    In all honesty this is the only theme I like. It's simple and easy to use. As nice as other designs are I'd rather stick with this one, themes definitely let me get used to a forum, and tbh this forum is the only forum I've ever liked, not just because of the great community but because of the easy to use, simple theme.

    1, Design must be bright - Dan will not accept a dark theme so dont even bother he has eye issues so he cant use them.
    2, Subscription Hell - Be prepared to deal with the subscribers ripping you to pieces. I tell you from experince
    3, Quality must exceed http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/20...ns-d52crdm.png http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/20...ns-d4g393r.png

    Not likely, unless mental decides alone the chances are he will not progress. Why I love ragezone one thing that can not be denied is how set in there ways some people are. Attempting to create a design normally leads to all hell breaking loose in the sub section when its previewed. One of the reasons I wont do a design if it is left up to the sub section as you could produce the best vb design ever and people would still find a million faults with it.

    Re: New Theme

    Hm, I see. Tough audience... xD /jk
    Actually I admit I was thinking of something rather dark if not to mention black since this one is already bright. But it looks like that would be quite a waste of time. Hm, maybe though, if I get around to it I might toss one in and see how it goes.

    Thanks for the earnest feedback!
    Oh, and Kidd, those designs are damn sweet :)

    You got ripped to shreds mainly because you didn't accept the criticism people were giving you. That is something that really annoys some people.

    Criticism = I think the colour of the latest post needs to be made darker to be easier to see. I also think the background could use some work with a more mmo theme added.

    Ballshitism = I don't like it. Sucks. Wtf is this shit. Nah I prefer the current one.


    As I normally have to state all the time. Your opinion is not criticism its your own personal taste. Criticism is explaining parts you don't like and giving detailed reasons for any issues you see. I will accept criticism I wont accept ballshitism.

    Tbh I think we should stick with the current theme, other themes would put me off, it's just the simplicity of this one I love.

    Well, just throwing this in here, no one said to permanently change it. There's a theme selection after all! :o
