8wayrun.com Now Running The Xenforo Beta!

[Archangel]

Hey guys, I'm the original creator of both Flexile themes. I thought I would post here for some feedback on the dark style. A few of you mentioned that "it could be better." Do you have any specific suggestions?

Excluding issues that are specific to 8WayRun (issues with the wiki pages, etc.) what sort of suggestions do you have?

Do you think the style is too dark? Do you think it needs more contrast?

Thanks for any and all feedback you can give. I am really trying to improve the style for the users. :)

Something that's been irritating (at least to me) is that when I click on something that leads to an info balloon - for example, I'll click on Malice's name to the left of his post - the text in the foreground and background mesh together. I mean, I can read it... But like I said, it's irritating. Any way to fix that?

Oh: But superb work so far. :)

The forums that I frequent don't do alternating colors, which I am glad that they don't because it looks bad.

I noticed the same thing Archangel mentioned but forgot about it. The opacity of the popup menu blends with the skin, so you can't read of the info that it includes. Hopefully you can change the opacity and fix that.

Yep, I noticed this and fixed it in the update I released yesterday. It looks like Jaxel didn't upload the new files. (Jaxel, just re-upload the entire upload folder, as it contains a few new images). Once that is done you will probably have to clear your browser cache so your browser fetches a copy of the new image.

I just changed the font of the text in messages... what do you guys think?

The font looks much better now.
