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.

Spoiler: show

Just some ideas.

+1 with Pleh's idea!

It can't be too difficult to do right?

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'
Image

'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.
