DriverHeaven: Return of Midnight Heaven theme

Zardon · Aug 15, 2004, 08:36 PM

After some hard work, Our site designer Craig5320 has ported over our old Midnight heaven theme designed by Ratchet to VB3 and you can now select this in your profiles. There are some differences to the layout but the colouring is the same as before with the added bonus the front page also fits in with the theme.

This is in your User CP - Edit options/Miscellaneous Options

Enjoy and discuss in this thread on our forums.

very nice to see this up and running once more.much like the new layout.did not expect it to also be the front page style.

very good work done by admin once again.

***craig5320*** · Aug 15, 2004, 08:55 PM

Ratchet created the style, we've just tweaked it about and set it up on the board.

Great job.

This is by far my favorite theme and I use it wherever it's available.
I've been trying to get Speedguide.net to offer this theme as well. The admins concern was the change to the templates and images would make updates rather difficult, which is understandable. Do you know where I can find further information on this theme?
It would make a great visual style for windows too.

ToP3koms · Aug 15, 2004, 09:22 PM

Looks great ,nice work.Midnight Heaven on the main page is an awesome bonus,thank you DH crew.

You cant offer this exact theme, its a paid for theme which I own made specifically for this site. its not a publically available theme for distribution.

Id like to add while im here that all Driverheaven artwork is copyright and is not for distribution, I have already had to get several sites to remove "stolen artwork".

I've added the Quick Style chooser to the bottom now, so at the bottom of any page you can quickly and easily choose your style. :-)

Warpy · Aug 15, 2004, 11:28 PM

Now the main page with this theme looks awesome!!

caqde · Aug 15, 2004, 11:52 PM

Cool thanks. I like this theme.

I think I came across the wrong way here. I'm not in a position to make any offers on behalf of any site. I just like this particular style. Rage3D and a few other sites have something similar and I was wondering where it could be found. Not this exact theme but the non-propriety aspects of it. I wouldn't steal it nor encourage others to do so. That's not my style, (no pun intended)

I can appreciate the dilemma you must face as far as others ripping your material.
I'd say chalk it up as flattery, but theft is what it is and it's not very flattering. You do good work here and I appreciate this site allot as I said before. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Judas · Aug 16, 2004, 05:26 AM

alot easier on my headache

jsx[ifl] · Aug 16, 2004, 05:37 AM

this theme is nice, i like having the front page match the forums, i used to use original DH because i didnt want forums/front page not matching...now they match and its sexy.

Both the Rage3D "Midnight Rage" theme and this "Midhight Heaven" theme are 100% original themes and use all original graphics. Both follow that ultra-dark/blue "Midnight" theme which is again an original style created by me (which is why they both look similar to one another). DriverHeaven owns "Midnight Heaven" and I own "Midnight Rage", there are no "non-proprietory aspects" to either of them.

If this other site wants a theme then tell them to contact me near the end of the month and I will be glad to work with them on whatever they want.

No wonder I couldn't find it on the vB theme sites. You did a great job and I really like your work allot .

When I posted a screenshot of it at speedguide it caused quite a stir of interest.
I'll contact the sites admin with your info and offer to chip in for the cost. Like I was saying, his main concern is how it would impact future updates due to the changes it makes. When I saw Zardon and crew update the boards I figured it was a good time to ask about it.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate your time. Hopefully you'll be hearing from them soon.
