Which Xmas theme do you want? by Nathan on 12-21-2008 at 02:57 PM

Okay, there's been abit of a clash between who wants what for the xmas theme.

So I'll make a poll to save any troubles.

If you vote, you can also post the reasons why you like whichever one.

My design:

Andreys design:

Or leave as current.

andrey's - better contrast, better suited and looks overall more professional than a dark blue background that bends out with weird white dots.

:tongue:

They are all essentially mine, I can't possibly lose this poll!

<3 eljay

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Jarrod on 12-21-2008 at 03:32 PM

i've used this winter one ever since it was set as my header but persons other than me, its not winter now, it will be winter soon so if i leave it i don't have to change it as winter comes around and i can go for a record attempt

Yeah, and I don't like that either, did you not read my post, it was all about the dark blue?

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by djdannyp on 12-21-2008 at 06:43 PM

definitely andreys.

the current is just too dark (that irritates me more than the repetetive, unrealistic snowflakes tbh)

needs to be lighter to fit in with the rest of the forum

plus it tends to be lighter when it is actually snowing anyway

Tends to snow overnight, thus dark. Also big grey snow clouds.

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by MeEtc on 12-21-2008 at 07:33 PM

I could care less, I use a custom stylesheet anyways \o/
But I do use the current dark header image

In the end, what does it matter anyway. The site still works

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Oxy on 12-21-2008 at 11:08 PM

tell me, what happened before these last three or so years? it's changed and been argued over almost every year since i've been here
it's a little too easy to see the repeat of snow on the current one though.

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Dane on 12-21-2008 at 11:23 PM

I like Nathans because here where I live anyway Winter means very little light (its usually dark out) and Nathans reflects that well. Also, The slight changes he makes (Snowflakes, etc.) blend well with the darkness.

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Eddie on 12-22-2008 at 01:40 PM

certainly andreys, better suited to plus in my opinion

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by valeria-elfo on 12-22-2008 at 02:59 PM

Nathan's.
Because the sky dark blue is like the night...
and in the night we wait for babbo natale or santa claus or...
wait what you wish

merry christmas

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Nathan on 12-22-2008 at 03:48 PM

Nathan's is making a come back (h)

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Chris4 on 12-25-2008 at 01:55 AM

I think Andrey's goes better with the forum design (Y)

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by andrey on 12-25-2008 at 02:09 AM

Meh I guess dz is a bit frustrated because he wanted Nathan's header
I don't think he'll change it.. probably trying to ignore it till spring ¬¬
But oh well, I posted the logo and tile images, you can just change it yourself with userCSS/Stylish if you want, like I did =p

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by WDZ on 12-25-2008 at 06:31 AM

I was thinking about adding another theme so both Nathan's and andrey's could be options, but I didn't have time today.

I did change the header to Nathan's just now because I like the more random snowflakes. The navigation links are hidden unless you hover over the header area because they don't look too great on top of the snow. :tongue:

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Nathan on 12-25-2008 at 09:53 AM

Looks fit ,

Can someone edit the 8px grey (failed attempt at a shadow), and make it less noticeable?
Thanks

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Chancer on 12-25-2008 at 04:54 PM

I prefer no snow. It feels like prejudice against the south hemisphere...

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Menthix on 12-25-2008 at 06:08 PM

I prefer no colors. It feels like prejudice against people with color blindness...

Agreed! I'd say more: no header at all due to 100% blind people.

I'm color blind and I see nothing wrong with the green header.

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Chris4 on 12-25-2008 at 11:50 PM

Well.. Andrey's is the clear winner. (Y)

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by WDZ on 01-06-2009 at 11:04 PM

Nathan, did you make a version of your logo image without the santa hat? The holidays are over. =p

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Nathan on 01-07-2009 at 12:22 AM

I will, but I need the old image, eljays winter header.
Thanks

RE: Which Xmas theme do you want? by Nathan on 01-09-2009 at 09:51 PM

Gah, I did it then school didn't allow POST headers at one point, so when I tried replying to this with it, it wouldnt send, and then ivfe restarted computer without saving it.

I'll redo it now

. And sorry, but I haven't been on for a while after WDZ requested, alot of stuff happened at once, suspension, going to paris, school work, girlfreind etc.
Thanks for doing it though, and it looks like mine has been replaced by adreys anyway

he's talking about this sentence....it's obviously been lost in translation, but i guess that you meant something along the lines that you were going to try to fix nathan's mistake in not having made a version without the xmas hat

At least you can read mine and decipher it, without having to totally re-write the post in your head.
Grammar isn't everything.
