Christmas Theme, and colour change?

Post by Mooncow »

The Christmas theme is back. Looks like nothing else extra this year i'm afraid. 2010 should be a good year for Chao Island, and hopefully it will return to its former glory!

To change to the Christmas theme, make sure you are logged in and go to the "User Control Panel", and on the left click "Board Preferences". Then change "My Board Style".
Alternatively, click this link to go right there: ucp.php?i=165

The other change is the names of the Moderator and Admin names. The way phpBB3 works is that each group has a set colour, which affects all themes.
The colours (Yellow and White) before were hard to read on the Hero (and Christmas) themes, so they have been changed.

At the moment they are a dull red and a dull yellow. I'll keep trying to alter to different colours. If anyone has colour suggestions feel free to reply!

I'm still attempting to find a Modification for PHPBB3 that lets you set group colors differently for different themes

Example:
Moderator Group color= Dark Green on Hero/Christmas and White on Chao/Dark.

Thank you, Mooncow. It brings back memories of last year when I first joined the site. ^_^

Also, thanks for changing the moderator colors. White sure can be an eyesore on this theme. x_x
It was nice talking to you in the Chatbox too; you coming in cheered me up. ^.^

Wow, this theme is great! Brings back so many memories. For the suggestions, I suggest putting Chao Points back for Christmas. I'm sure everyone really misses it.

Also, for something new, maybe you could change the members colors too.

Yes! My favorite theme! :chaohappy:

Please keep it all year round so I can always have that certain holiday spirit. :herosway:
Without change, there can be no progress.

Mods should be green, admins should be red, and Mystix should be blue.

I like the colors.
The Christmas theme brings back memories, truly. I think there is something different about it... something about green and red colors.. but oh well. Glad it's back! C:

The Christmas theme is cool, makes me remember of when I first joined.
I have some suggested colors, #FF0000 (red) for Moderators, and #00FF00 (green) for Administrators. They're both bright enough to be seen on the Dark and Chao themes, yet not too bright to be hard to be seen on the Christmas and Hero themes.

the mods' rank bars look weird though with the rank colours being Light Gray though :/ It just doesn't look fitting to have a Dark Red name and a Light Gray ranking bar...

I hope you don't take the Christmas theme down as fast as you did last year, I'm kind of getting accustomed to it. Any word on Easter/Halloween/Other holiday themes?

For those who used Christmas:
The Hero theme isn't that much more white, just slightly paler. If you liked the Christmas, try using hero before getting all sad.
