We will need a new style/skin PLEASE READ

Post by UOducksTK1 »

I don't particularly love this skin that we have now. But we also can't go back to the old one because it is not compatible with this forum version.

While I will not make a style from scratch because my UX/Aesthetic/CSS skills are lacking, I would like to glean some of the templates offered by phpbb. And I can tweak small things such as colors, fonts, color sizes, etc.

Here's one I thought was simple/readable and would look good after changing colors to be more Ducks-ish: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/flat_style/

Feel free to browse through any of these and lmk if there's one you like: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... l/demo/3.3 (Click arrows or Select style button to go through different styles)

(Technically we can have more than one and one will just be default. As a user, you could select a different skin than is default if you'd like)

Not an attempt to fan any flames here and certainly appreciate all the great work, maybe you already know this but the mobile app is not working at all.

Thanks for all your efforts

I'll just leave this skin for now, but I'll definitely look into adding some other skins later so people can mix it up. But this seems functional and aesthetic enough. I need rest lol.

Earth and SE gamer light were good, didn't like the neon blackgreen though

My invision is nice as well as Chester blue.

What I noticed is it looked like some of them had dedicated mobile versions and not just browser based. If so I'd reckon getting one that is mobile compatible would be most ideal but I'm out of my element with this.
