Man, 1680 is even bigger than my screen, and I don't have any space issues with that...

I like the link color.
This is going in my sig. :)

and the whole top bar is way too goddamn big.

Please tell me you're not referring to the one that you can easily collapse...

What you have looks pretty good so far.  If you can get it into an actual SMF theme I'll install it on here for vertically challenged users (I'd love to have a theme that's better suited for PSP browsing and such).

This doesn't even need a new theme, just mod the old one.

Code: [Select]
.mainstrip {color:black !important;}

.mainstrip a:link {color:black !important;}.mainstrip a:visited {color:black !important;}
.mainstrip a:hover {color:black !important;}
.mainstrip a:active {color:black !important;}

.topbar {display:none !important}
.titlebg3 {display:none !important}
.memberbardiv {display:none !important}
#upshrink {display:none !important}
.topbar2 {display:none !important}
.menubar {margin-top: 10px !important; }
Get rid of all the "!important"s unless something isn't overriding previous settings.


Adblock list-

Delete all of those.

New post icons, as the old ones have gradient backgrounds.

Move the color bar from what was the member bar (the collapsible one) to wherever.

Find a place for a logo.

Result is something like-


A few more ideas: you might have to update all of the different color styles, so you might as well just make one scheme everyone can agree on. Depends on how partial people are to their colors, I guess.

That's the thing...have you ever tried modifying an SMF theme? :P  It makes me go a little cross-eyed.

As far as I can tell, the color schemes in Dilber MC have plenty of common elements to them so it wouldn't be a huge project to convert all of the colors and such over.

If it's too involving it probably won't get done for quite a while, though.  I've had some pretty bizarre hours as of late and I've been cherishing every bit of free time I could get.  If it's not much work (and the theme's license allows it) I'll probably make a "Dilber MC (Light)" theme or something like that.

Also, if you (or anyone else) see a nice-looking theme on SMF's site, feel free to pass me the link.  I wouldn't mind having a lighter-weight theme or two on here for space-conscious people or devices.

Yeah, I can understand a theme for mobile devices with small screens, but I mean, that image on the top (the SMF symbol etc.) doesn't take that much screen space... 120 px on a screen that's 900 px tall (or taller in some cases.. actually, many cases)...
