As I'm not at liberty to discuss, pretty big and noticeable.

What will change, exactly?
I've got no clue about this. But hopefully the new features will be good.

I have a feeling that if we were allowed to know that, then it'd have been posted at the beginning of this thread I'm looking forward to seeing what new things there'll be, although given that it's 4:45 right now, I have to leave at 5, and nothing seems to have been done yet, I won't get to see the changes until next week That gives me a whole 2 (possibly 3) days to speculate about what I'll find next time I log in

Hopefully it's worth the wait

My comments on the new schemes.

Yoshi's Island: It's neat, just a little plain. I didn't expect this to be red themed. The lightest shade red seems to be just a little too light.. I don't know. Not a big deal. Why is the Yoshi in the banner squished vertically a bit?
And for the plainness.. it seems like more can be done with it. You know how the Mario theme has background images that, while not distracting, really make the whole scheme more interesting to look at? The same could be done with Yoshi's Island. Right now nothing about it makes it feel like Yoshi's Island except for the banner.

Twilight Princess: This would be cool if it wasn't for the colors. Major clash here, you have got to fix these colors. I don't really like how the bar on the right is just a flat out white color, it's distracting. Actually I don't like the sidebar at all.

Alliance and Horde: These look great. The sidebar just bugs me though. Though if you fix Twilight Princess, you should keep the colors similar to Horde.. a bit greener of course, but it's a good guide.

Acmlmboard 1.B: It's alright. The white, as I said before. isn't fitting.

Yeah, as YD said the white bar on some schemes is just blah, not working for me. That's the only thing I don't really like about the schemes. Otherwise it's decent.

I know, that's a problem I have with it too. They're too....light. Light themes don't usually look good, even though there are those few exceptions.

Note on Yoshi's Island... it's missing a post radar. :\ But even though it could be improved, I like it as a concept theme.

My favorite at the moment is Horde because of its oh-so-good greeny nature. Just wanna get rid of the white textbox though. Clashy. :\

It sucks.

The commons do not improve things in any way, the RPG thread layout now looks rather poor for a reason I can't place, and the entire point of the Kafuka scheme has been ruined. And the new schemes? Nothing worth writing home about. Honestly, 1.A3 was better =/

Christ, it's called bugs. The old themes will look exactally the freaking same WHEN WE'RE DONE. Nobody seems to understand or appreciate the fact that the dev board doesn't run the same as the live one even if the code is identical, and as such, there is no possible way to test absoloutly every last thing on the dev copy. We NEED to take the board live and have it be screwed up for a day in order to catch everything. That is simply how it is.

The color schemes/layouts would be great if yoshi's island didn't compress everything to the center of the screen and the others didn't have that annoying navigation bar on the side.

Oh, I'm well aware of that, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of this stuff you already knew about before you had it go live. For instance, how the buttons and banners in alternate themes are always the same...

Kyouji: ||bass set a deadline for installing 1.B. He met the deadline. There's ALWAYS going to be a small bugfix window after a release, because you can only test so much in beta testing; some problems don't become apparent until after it goes live, and you need to understand that.

Ok, here's a little history on the themes:

Yoshi's Island was the prototype new generation theme. It was created to test the new custom HTML header and footer for the board. It looks a little shabby, but it was made over a month ago. I might make a completely new one. I left it in just incase people would like to see it.

Twilight Princess was designed to really show off what the new theme system could do to the board. I wanted to take aim at a lighter look. This clashes with the name colours, so I have to see if I can fix them tonight. Hopefully I can arrive at a set of name colours that fit for all lighter themes.

I'm glad you like Horde and Alliance. Yes the sidebar isn't to everyone's taste, but it's a big experiment. Not all themes are going to go this way.

Acmlmboard 1.B is what is going I wanted to go out with the distributable Acmlmboards... But I knew that it was going to have some changes done. I don't think the white is the problem, but I think making the blue less deep and intense will ease it on the eyes. Don't worry, the themes will look a lot better by the time we're finished with them.

Actually, now that I look at it, the navigation bar on the side wouldn't be so bad if you made it narrower, getting rid off all the wasted whitespace.

Another thing I'd like to see is a navigation bar that doesn't scroll with the rest of the page.

Err..

I would LOVE to see the Yoshi's Island scheme improved (or replaced, if you're gonna do that). The scheme has potential, and it's a great game.
