Awesome, My new skin.

gadabout · Jan 7, 2005, 10:51 PM

I would have to agree with fireball. This skin is great and is now my default. I was using skyheaven for a while.

edperks · Jan 7, 2005, 10:51 PM

Nice!! Very easy on the eye's Good Job!!

Dark Lord · Jan 7, 2005, 10:54 PM

also my new skin. it looks very nice and it is very easy on the eyes.

ive been useing neon heaven for some time but i think ill keep this instead.

just a little thing im not too thrilled with i just noticed. when i click on the DH logo at the top of the page to go back to the home page, it doesnt work.

i did notice the little home button in the little bar thingy but it was alot easier going through the big logo at the top.

shortstuff · Jan 7, 2005, 11:02 PM

Very nice Graig. You have done a great job on this skin.

Zardon · Jan 7, 2005, 11:04 PM

control refresh guys on the theme if you are in IE to get new images, craig updated some icons there.

drakesteakn · Jan 7, 2005, 11:16 PM

I like what i see so far, nice contast of color

md5 · Jan 7, 2005, 11:30 PM

Very well made, I like the colors

caqde · Jan 7, 2005, 11:35 PM

The bar at the top of the screen doesn't look right in Mozilla/Firefox (1.7.5/1.0) at high resolutions ex:1280x1024. The bar doesn't connect all the way across the screen like I am guessing it should

Other then that Excellent job, looks great.

Its not meant to.

One of my favorite colors Black & Red. My blanket, curtion and pillow case is Black & Red.

I love it.

caqde · Jan 7, 2005, 11:49 PM

The bar with profile/members/messages/search.etc is not supposed to extend across the screen??? I know it does in IE. At my current resolution I see a gap between the Driverheaven logo and Profile in the bar. I can remove that gap if I decrease the size of my window..

if the resolution is low it forces the bar FULLY to the left so you get the links in, with a resolution to handle it the bar is set to start just before the D on "driverheaven".

caqde · Jan 8, 2005, 12:04 AM

... Hmm Ok The bar on mine starts right before the D in driverheaven stops right after the 2 in 2002 and then starts again before the word profile leaving about 2-inch gap in the bar. I hope this explains what I was looking at. (so hard to get things across by typing sometimes)

**dj_stick** · Jan 8, 2005, 12:05 AM

me likes, but the quick replay background coloured white kinda ruins the overall effect

but all in all good work

Dom · Jan 8, 2005, 12:06 AM

Good work, Craiginator.

Logla · Jan 8, 2005, 12:07 AM

not my cup of tea. I'm just not keen on red & black but it is well designed and well layed out - nice one in that respect.
I'm just a blue heaven man I suppose.

RVachon · Jan 8, 2005, 12:08 AM

Also my favorite color combo...Sweet azz job!! Thanks.

Warpy · Jan 8, 2005, 12:10 AM

This theme is ok, but the icons are very jaggered and not very smooth compared to the other themes. I think a new theme is a great idea, but not this one.

Sounds like you are running at a low resolution, these themes are really geared for 1024x768 or higher. if the bar is stopping at 2002 then you are running at a low res. The bar will auto resize or "stretch" to the right always maximising that side so it depends on your resolution. As for the left side as I said, if you make the window small or run at a low resolution we have it set so it "forces" the nav bar links to the left making it easier to get at the clickable links, however when it forces it to the left it will go past the set starting point just before the D in driverheaven. The right side of the window would need to be to the "V" in driverheaven to start forcing past the initial boundaries.

Really? must be your machine as most of them are recoloured icons from other themes such as the little DH logos etc or default icons craig coloured. the only one I see which isnt spot on is the post reply icon.

caqde · Jan 8, 2005, 12:21 AM

The bar does stop there but that is 2/3rd across my 1280x1024 desktop. What I am saying is like you said it should strech to reach across my window but in my case it isn't streching in Mozilla.

Ello!

I will get a screenshot, as it may be just my PC. Brb

LeanWolf · Jan 8, 2005, 12:36 AM
