Possible new forum design

Post by **Pedsdude** » November 2nd, 2007, 1:58 am

I've been having a play around with the forum theme (you will have noticed I replaced the 'CoDJumper.com' background with the dark grey stripes), and have come up with the following possible design:

What do you think of this design?

If people like it, I'll try and implement it over the next few weeks, although it won't be an easy takes - I edited a single .html page which was a copy of the main forum page (if you follow me), which isn't the same as phpBB, so it is likely to be quite a challenge.

Looks good except the blue in there doesn't match at all with the black and grey stripes in the background.
Maybe matching them up a bit so they look alike more?

Looks awesome, Maybe a new header image, something CoD4 esque

1. New banner required (as suggested, a CoD4 style) [Banner contest anyone?]
2. New Buttons (Darker)
3. New style forum, greyer and more modern.

I'm guessing the forum doesn't need stretching, this is just screened on a widescreen setup, correct?

Example of how I would see it...

Choppy Edit, very quick edit, have removed text and banner would also be changed. Colour would be a lot smoother, but you get the idea).

i rather peds idea, just change the blue of the forum in dark green or something, so it matches the site.

I also like Drofder's second example most, but this bright grey in the middle is ugly :s

Nice idea Drofder. I'm guessing that everyone is OK with the 2nd theme then?

What about having the 2nd theme, but also adding the vertical grey bars down the sides and darker background either side of them (to suit the main site).

And yes, I'm on widescreen.

I donno if the vertical grey bars would look good or not with it.
