[WIP] SMF 2.1 Theme - Greyed Out

[TwitchisMental]

So I have been getting a little nostalgic for the crazier and wilder side of theme designs from the good ole days.

I decided to make something like them. I am not the best with the graphics side of things, so it is not as cool as it could be; but I am very happy with it so far. This is still very much a work in progress.

I think it looks quite nice! The colors seem to work well with each other and are not the everyday common colors you see on themes.

The header is pretty neat looking!

The white text area kind of sticks out a little too much, I think.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.

The text area will be updated soon enough. .

Looks really cool, TM! If you ever want to collab, let me know. I’d love to design something someday with a bit of gloss and ole days vibes to see it coded on SMF.

Looks very good I agree with Cory the white area stands out a bit, but it definitely has a very nostalgic feel to it!

I'd love to try a collab out. Could even make the theme for both SMF and Xenforo.

Yeah, this is something we need to get going. I’ll also set up what we have discussed earlier, today or tomorrow.

I am not a forum owner that likes to use SMF but this theme looks awesome! It's not got too much going on and it's basic but that is not always a bad thing as you will be surprised at how many people tend to look for something basic.

The colour looks great as well and would be great for a dark mode theme

BASIC noooooooo lol.

Nah I appreciate the feedback . Glad that you like it.

I have updated the board index and post section a bit more.

 

[Steve]

That looks great

I love the shape of the header

So this theme has been submitted to the Cloister of Trials.

Some thoughts....

May I suggest maybe doing something like a gradient background on the board and message index's and maybe an alternating variation on the replies so as to give a visual clue that there is a break there? I would also, for the board and message index provide a on hover variation to give a focus to which you are selecting. Maybe even do that for the subboards on the message index is there is subs in the current board so as to provide there is a difference in those and the topic replies that are listed below.

Overall I like it

I'm into into the grey colour but good nice clean design, I know something cool is that the same style design and theme can be any colour based But since with SMF you are limited to doing a colour picker

The old days of SMF that I used to use back in 2016 Xd

 

[Tyrsson]

Can you elaborate on the color picker?

 

[TwitchisMental]

ut since with SMF you are limited to doing a colour picker

I am sorry but what?

There is no limit to what colors you can use. Well besides what you can do with RGB or HSL lol.

SMF is my favorite forum software. Is there a light version of the theme?

So funny story ... I made this with the intent of it being an inbetween light and dark theme .

With that said, it would be easy enough to lighten it up since the theme does use css variables.
