Took me two weeks to get this theme ready for launch. Did it yesterday night and shocked the world :-"

It's still not finished, but it's good enough to show which direction it's heading.

What do you think of it?

Some highlights of personal mods that might be missed:
-Topic preview of the last post on board idx and forum idx. This does not use an extra query on page view!
-Quick quote. Quote someone directly into the fast reply box.
-UL-based dropdown menu (not some dirty dhtml/javascript thing)


Room for improvements that couldn't be done before launch, but will be done soon:
-Even out the forum listing on the board idx. Text are too small.
-Forum listing in forum view is too cluttered.
-WAY too many buttons on topic view.
-Create a better looking radio-graphic...

Any other comments?

You need to browse the forums, there are a few errors.

-Play with the minimize and maximize in maintitle, that's not good.
-Browse the site when logged off, a few error pages aren't finished.

Other than that, the only thing I see that I don't like is some of the graphics. I've always liked crisp graphics, a few of yours, such as the minimize maximize button, fades to a blur at the bottom.

Awesome!!!

The tool tip that hovers tend to get annoying after a while. If you can get the tool tip to appear after 2 seconds or so, it would be too cool!

thanks for the input. What do you think about the forum listing? I find it hard to get used to, even though it looks much cleaner than when I use the original style.

I still has to tweak the preview hover thing. (did you notice that users info are hidden inside a hoverthing too?) Maybe make it a fix location, or fade in, or not let it get hovered everywhere.

When I made it, it was XHTML-compliant. Too bad, with the paypal and radio-marquee thing it gets the red warning again...

One nasty thing though for the bubblebox-topic view... there HAS to be an avatar, otherwise it just looks weird, the bubblebox pointing to nowhere. That's why i made a default avatar that everyone gets when registering.

loads a bit slow...

Sometimes there's a bit too much happening when you hover.
