Forum Styles.

jumpy · 04-30-08, 12:16 PM

Since becoming a member here I've always used the SmartDark board theme.
Today I tried the Admin Blue style and will keep it for a little while to see if I like it.
It's funny how changing the theme can make the forum seem somehow 'foreign' and strange

What do you all use and why?

This is not a hint to change or add more forum styles, just curiosity.

I switched to haylazblue after a month of trying the new look and never looked back.

Same as Steed.. Haylazblue...
The only problem with it is when someone posts in a light color (colour in Steeds case).. hard to read!

Smartdark. No reason, it just seems more "homey".

I've just switched to Haylazblue and it seems very light and airy. Slightly unsure about it at the moment as the Smartdark seemed to 'fit' the gloomy athmosphere of being onboard a u-boat. I'll stick with it for a while though.

I didn't even know you could change it! Learned something new today!

Smartdark for me

Tango589 · 04-30-08, 01:54 PM

That proves it, I have the percevierance of a gnat. I have already got fed up with Haylazblue and changed it back to smartdark. It feels so much better like this.

The lighter one is too much like tons of other forums, I prefer the smartdark, gives the forum a more unique look and that's what SubSim is, an unique forum.

Same here, never bothered to find anything like that because the standard style looks good.

Now all we need is a fireplace gif that follows you around

I rather wish there was only one style.
Just so I could mess around with pseudo-transparent *.jpgs

I'm a SmartDark kind of guy. Never had the need to change it and the style fits very well.
