New site colors soooon

[Baldrick]

and you will be able to choose some other colors later also.

[Baldrick]

and if you don't like big changes so can you still use the old classic colors

[indolikaa]

Oh man, I like that blue screen!

[BJ_M]

kinda mac looking 8)

[stiltman]

why not a drop down box so we can select our own colors?
Don't they just use stylesheets or something like that?

Personally, I like the blue for the forums.
I hope you keep the different colors for the side menu, but change their colors....
Pastels are so 70s

[Baldrick]

or darkred



and yes I can change to diffferent colors in the menu. I just want to find some good colors first. You will be able to change your own custom colors later.

[indolikaa]

How about that blue or dark red screen, but change the color to a darker green?

[FOO]

How about active cycling through all the colors every few
seconds . Should drive the borderline mental cases
over the edge

[lordsmurf]

I like the blue one.

Red is very nice too. How about green too? And maybe brown?

Those are regarded as "business" colors and looks great.

Good call on making the menu bar shorter. The one here now IS a bit too long and cluttered with descriptions.

[BJ_M]

how about something simple like this:

[Baldrick]

a green, red, brown, blue menu

Hay Baldrick..

The blue one in your first post was great.

Personally, I prefer to stick to the old tried and true, but sometimes change
is good too :P ..and if you must..
.
.
It's your site, so have some fun tweaking it.. ( hopefully in our favor :P )

But, please do make it USER configurable, so we can change to ANY color
scheme we choose - please ?
But, the blue one, I would be willing to change to - - for sure hehe.. :P

TGIF everyone,

That Blue is great . A lot easier on the eyes.

This is where you can start in with sub templates. Your site is large enough to do it. Small sites cannot effectively use sub templates

You take the core colors: red, blue, green, brown...
And then each "section" as you marked off on the menu is also the color of every page in that section.
.. WHAT IS, LIST, HOW TO, and OTHERS each has it's own menu color...
... AS WELL AS the pages that are linked OUT OF that menu.

So all the VCD/SVCD/etc pages linked out of WHAT IS will have that unique GREEN color for the pages. The LIST pages will all have that BROWN color on those pages.... etc...

Good choice on BLUE "OTHER" section, I'd much prefer a BLUE forum. It's by far one of the easiest colors on the eyes, especially in combination with gray and white like you have. Considering the major (I'm asumming major) pull to the site is the forum, best to keep the best color options here (without making whole site blue ... several tasteful colors gives it a designers edge).

This is, of course, some fairly advanced template action, but the results are always quite nice. I've done this sort of makeover for sites several times. The results are always pleasant.

You're giving the site a nice facelift from what I've seen so far. Lot of nice new features too. It's not often I'm impressed by both content AND design, but you've peaked my interests.

EDIT: Ah ... shows how much I read other pages .... you've already got sub templates color schemes going, huh?

The blue looks great.

I have had subcolors since 1999...

Hi Baldrick,

My offering: I like the blue in your first post, and the colours for the side panel in your post "17 Apr, 2004 00:35".

User-selectable colours would be even better...

[offline]

The blue looks good to me but a mix similar
to your example of "green, red, brown, blue menu" but
with a blue base, would suit more people in navigating your site.

[flaninacupboard]

I like it as is, it's distinctive - i see a lot of forums that are white and blue, but red and grey is good. if anyone sees me at a PC with red and grey they know what i am doing and leave me alone!

[brushswinger]

Should drive the borderline mental cases

I am borderline. I hate change. If you change now I will not know where I am.

Please dont tip me over the edge...

Word!
Green or blue are much easier on the eyes.

[Baldrick]

The entire site is now updated and I'm using the new design...I will soon also let you test it before I make it to the default.

[Baldrick]

[stiltman]

where might this be located?

[D.A.R.J.R.]

How about a black backround with neon(especially green and pink) writing. It would look so techno and cool

[Baldrick]

[Sefy]

I Actually like the colors you picked! but then again, I like plain things which are easier on the eye. But I think for the categories on the side, it would be best to make it more colorful for each section.

[Hardcoreruss]

I like the blue 2

[lordsmurf]

When's it gonna happen? I can't wait for the new look.

[tgpo]

Looks Great! Can't wait
