Minimalist theme

Sep 13, 2011#1

Dave,

Can we get a minimalist theme? Browsing isn't particularly frowned upon at work, but at the same time, the giant HALFORUMS banner and strong colors kind of give it away. Also, I kind of just like the look of minimalist websites.

These are wordpress themes, not Xenforo, but it should give you and idea of what I'm talking about if you want an example.

Hmm. I don't see why I can't do that. It might take me a few days. I will be out tonight.

Been working on a XenMinimal. Let me know what you think of it.

Orange quote box is a little odd but in general it is not bad.

What about in Media Madness or the other sub-forums? Is there a problem with it there?

What color would you like it to be?

Suggestions:

Even less color and gradients.
HALFORUMS could be plain text instead of an image, with no shadow.

Just suggestions.

Took care of the HF logo thing. Not sure what to do about the colors and gradients. Once you start messing with those it's fairly time intensive and intricate.

So what do you think about the new Minimalist Halforums logo? Amy did it and sent it to me out of the blue.

I like it. It's definitely more minimalist. I don't know what it is, but I am into really minimalist things like this lately.

Make it average height, average build. White male, late 20s early 30s.

It'll seem so quiet and nice until one day default theme is gone. We'll find minimalist wearing defualt's skin a week later, listening to goodbye horses.

Signatures? Gone.

So....? What do you guys think of XenMinimal now?

I want the avatars back. Everything else, I like.

Nov 2, 2011#22

Dave

Just in the posts or everywhere? I took them away from the thread view also.

Shakey

Yeah, I'd like avatars back too.

Ditto on the avatars. That's a little too minimalist.

I'd actually say ditto on the signatures, since they're already easy to turn off yourself.

I put my vote in to have the avatars back

Nov 2, 2011#27

Dave

Done and done. I waited until some of those asking for a minimal theme chimed in.

Should be all fixed up for you. Don't say I never gave you anything.

Dave, not once have any of these people invited you to dinner, and now, here they are, on the day of your daughter's wedding, asking for a favor. They say you are friends, but have they shown it once?
