the fire theme isn't fully fixed yet. I have to recode everything again and I don't have a whole lot of time to play with at the moment so I really appreciate your patience.

Cheers,

Um, Air theme is kinda hard to read in places. Yellow font on yellow backdrop != good mixture.

But other than that, it looks nice.

Fire theme kind of hurts on the preferences page, but it's still really good.

Sorry guys I've been really busy havn't had any time to work on the themes. I'll get some done this weekend.

Edit: When I said weekend I really meant 2 months :? Hands up who hated last year *puts both hands up*.
Anywho.. I'm going to try and finally fix the old skins as well as make some new ones. There'll be a special theme one coming soon ;)

I would like to have an inversion of the Prosilver theme. My computer can do this on its own, but I'd like a theme where I could leave the screen its original color and still have the skin have inverted colors with regard to the prosilver theme.

I took some screenshots and editted them to give you an idea of what this would look like.

Just some ideas.

Tev mentioned in the chat the night I posted this that it shouldn't be hard and that it could be up by this weekend...

But I assume he'll post here when it's ready.

Hey guys, I'm back once again and I'm working on the inverted theme. I have inverted pretty much every colour in the default skin but some of the text colours are too dark so I'll have to go through it and make them brighter. Theme should be ready to go by Tuesday at the earliest.

Latorz

Edit: I've finished the inverted theme ahead of schedule :P It's called 'inverted' so check it out.

I'm going to start working on an TLA movie theme. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for it please let me know. Also for any artists interested check out the manipulations section. I've created a thread in search of a banner for the movie theme. If you want to create one post it there so I can have a look.

The Inverted theme is pretty awesome!
Excellet work as always!

I would give karma if I could :D

EDIT: I just have one tiny request that could be added onto the new theme.Is it possible for the new theme to show which threads people have posted in, instead of just the last user to have posted in that forum.

EG:
'prosilver'

'inverted'

Thanks for pointing that out. The problem is now fixed though I had to do add code that's not even in the prosilver theme so I have no idea what the deal is. Oh well..

*will be testing out inverted theme in a moment*

I'm currently using the "The Last Airbender" skin (I was curious) and it's pretty cool. I know it is/was/lobster a work in progress, so I thought I could make a few comments.

I really like Met's banner (hidden karma to him, though I might take a swing at it. ;) ) but the red shades in it clash a bit with the deep navy blues of the forum. It's kinda blinding a first. I dunno if that's the banner you end up sticking with; I just thought I'd make the thought out loud.

Also, the blues are really nice (Though the highlight color, the neon, is a bit strange. It'll take getting used to.) bit the grainy things... don't really go. Dunno if there's anything else... it just seems kinda odd.
Image

Sorry if I'm being too critical. I'm just a self-artsy kind of person and I like to play with colors, trying to find right combinations. I just thought I'd add in my two cents.

EDIT: Also, I dunno if this is worth it, but you know how "The Avatar Portal" is in Papyrus font? Does the font have to be installed into the users computer like in the chat and/or proboards? If not, why not try to use some Avatar font? If you want the font from the show, Pleh (if he remembers where it is) or I could supply it.

The only reason the TLA theme is active right now is because its easier for me to work on it when I have it set as my theme. The current banner is just a placeholder atm, I really liked it and figured I'd stick it there for now. I started this when I was really tired so the colours are just a very rough go and no where near being finished.

I appreciate any critism you can throw at me and if you have any other ideas for this theme let me know. As for the font, the Avatar font is called Kudasai and I think you have to have it installed on your pc for it to show. Otherwise is looks like Arial or some other generic font. I do have it so I'll try it and see what happens.

I'm leaving the theme active for people to take a look at.

I've set the font to Herculanum (proper ATLA font) but unless you have it installed on your pc it won't look like it. I think this font will become the default AP font and it's unreasonable to expect everyone to install a special font just so the banner looks right. Though the generic font looks alright so I could leave it as Herculanum and people who want to install the font can if they want. I might see if I can upload it somewhere and link it in my sig or something.

I love the TLA theme. The thing that irks me though is that some of the backgrounds for the board sections are too dark. The ones that are the lower ones of their group. So since it's so dark, it makes reading admin names hard. Could you possibly just make all the boards section title things have that stone background without making it too dark Air? Thanks!

Ok well I've been staring at it for a few hours and if I use the stoney background for the tables no matter how light or dark it is it messes with the text too much. So I've gone for a dark two tone and the only text thats really hard to read is UI's name. It is the fly in my colour scheme. If he makes it red or something bright that'd frikin sweet :D I'll keep playing around with colours and see what I can do.

Well yeah, now it looks better and it's just a matter of UI changing his name color as well as Gotag. It's looking really good though!

I've created a new forum default. All the other themes are still intact, so anybody who was switched over can simply switch back in their User Control Panel.

cool beans.

though it kinda freaked me out as the change sort of came without warning when I was online [think back Tev... the chat ;) ]

~Ty Lee~

WELCOME TO AVATAR PORTAL. MY NAME IS JOO DEE.
THE WORLD OF MENCU 2
Spoiler: show
WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

'My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed. Since Congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complet...(tharr be more)e. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq . This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there. The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER It'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption. Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China. I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors: Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change. Mexico is also on List 2. Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple thousand extra tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now. We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska -which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America.

To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought : You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America .. Thank you and good night.'

*************************
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in Our Country lately: Illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida . .
Not me -- I concentrate on solutions for the problems -- it's a win-win situation.

* Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.
* Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levees.
* Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?

Think about this:

1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments

COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

THE CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ...why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this -- you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians, it creates a hostile work environment.

Also, think about this ... if you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone -- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
