Let's not derail the Brawl thread any further. Before I go to fix the theme, I'd like to get a list of the problems about it. I can't check everything myself, seeing as I don't have access to mod stuff and there may be things that I miss. So, let's list the problems we find, shall we?
Current known issues:
[FIXED] means that I have located what I believe is the problem and 'fixed' it to the best of my knowledge. But, since I am doing this blind, I can't see if what I did actually fixed the problem until Lucas uploads the new version. When I've confirmed that it is really fixed, it'll be removed from the list altogether.
[UNTOUCHED] means just that, either due to a lack of knowledge, I'm waiting on Lucas for something I need to fix it, or i just haven't gotten to it yet.
[UNTOUCHED]-No spacing in between posts.
[REATTEMPT]-Forum list should be darker than the background.
[REATTEMPT]-Profile Text is black.
[UNTOUCHED]-Thread List patterns not consistent.
[UNTOUCHED]-Dark bar next to active option in top bar.
[REATTEMPT]-"Subject / Started by, last post" bar above all the threads in a section is light grey.
[REATTEMPT]-PM Title is black.
Possible projects:
[UNTOUCHED]-Restoring the banner at the top of the page and possibly random rotation of banners.
[REATTEMPT]-Fixing size of reply box.
[UNTOUCHED]-Restore old icons.

If I had any sort of input or help, you would hear from me. x3
-
Add to the list the infini-reply box. It is way wider than the page.
Also, is it just me, or are the colors slightly off?
EDIT: Also, the Save/Preview/Spell Check buttons are the wrong blue.
-
My colours are white.

The reply box was like that before my changes (at least for me). You probably weren't using 2O11 before the switch, but I can look into it. I used the colors from the one banner that used to cycle and from the main charas-project.net page. Restoring the banner looks very possible.
My colours are white.
Change the theme you're using to Forum Default.
-
I'm on Forum Default.
My main color is white, with some other things blue and a big ugly Seffaf Tema logo at the top.
Ed: to clarify, quotes and the reply box are blue. That's it.
Also, that old box that had our avatar, control panel, and Unread Posts links?
I really miss that.
Also, keep in mind I'm on a really shitty phone.
-
Wasn't like this before the forum upgrade.
Has anyone thought of migrating to a different forum system?
That isn't PUB.
-
From what I can gather, PUB had about as much glitches as SMF has bots.
-
The "Subject / Started by, last post" bar above all the threads in a section is light grey.
Would it be possible to make the "new post" icon at the side of a section orang'y or something? I barely notice when something have happened.
Also, would it be possible to make every other post in a different colour. I remember that the old forum had a light and a dark blue used like that.
Kinda this colour I think:

-
Yeah, it did.
I have some screenshots of Charas Blue in my dropbox.
Day after tomorrow I'll link 'em.
-
Also could we remove the Seffaf tema logo in the upper right corner? It appear to be a picture so it should be possible.
>And about the questions. If you mean the shiny stuff on our profile info - remove it. at least for the title, post and such.
Bold links : yes please.

Changing icons is very easy, actually just swapping the images. I was going to ask Lucas to send me the icons the old Charas Blue theme used.
While making the current changes, I came across something that may be posts that swap colors, but the 2O11 just decided to use the same color three times. None of my old screens had the darker post color, so I decided not to bother, but if someone does have screens (like fruck) of the darker post color, I could try it.
I'm afraid to remove the Seffaf Tema logo, as that may not be what the original creator wants. I don't know what it means. It may be a team name.
-
I'm amazed that it's easier to reconstruct the charas theme from this rather than fix the buttons in the old one :p
I mean, I'm not complaining, and keep up the good work. I know there must be a reason.
-
Found another bug. When modifying a message or writing a new one, the "previous post" thingy got the authors in black. like when it's a list of all the post and above lucas post here it says "written by lucas_irineu today 12.29pm" but in black instead of white.
-
Uunfortunately, it appears my screenshots got baleeted, or are covered in pony sprites for some reason.
Sorry :/
-
One more thing. The thing on top of boards ("Subject / Started by Replies / Views Last post ") has a light background from the previous theme as opposed to the light Charas blue it should have.
The "Subject / Started by, last post" bar above all the threads in a section is light grey.
-
So, now that I can SEE the theme, opinions!
It's a little too open, I think it'd be nice to box up posts and such a bit more.
That Seffaf Tema logo REALLY needs to go.
It's a little too monochrome right now. Alternating post colour would be fantastic.
Adding in a "Recent Unread Posts" link at the top would be really nice.
The drop shadow effect in the info box doesn't really look that good.
-
I don't see it.
I see a per-forum thing, but not how it used to be.
ed: So THAT'S what that arrow does.
...why was mine hidden by default?
-
Lucas is right, I should bring up issues here. instead of wherever the hell I feel like.
- When I click the "New" button to read new posts in a thread, it takes me to a random post, usually near the top. It makes finding the new posts a little harder than it should be.
-
Seems like the button is reporting the wrong post, to me.
-
Yeah, that's what I figured, too. I don't know what would be causing it, but it seems somewhat significant. Anyone else getting it?
Also, it does that after I post. I usually post and close the tab, so I haven't noticed until now.

^ that's what the forum looks like on my Droid.
It's under the impression that the blue background is actually an image moved over the normal ugly white background.
-
Yeah that looks about right. It loads all white and then blocks of blue start appearing block by block.
-
Looks the same for me on my Droid.

No impressions. That IS how the theme works. I'm sorry, but I just don't have a mobile device to check for these problems. Also, I've actually been pretty busy with another project lately, and I'm going away on vacation this week, so since you offered to help, I can send you the files and you can look into it yourself if you'd like.
-
That'd be nice.
I'll see if I can't figure out a solution.
-
For the record, I fixed that little glitch.
Not giving it to Lucas until I get something more substantial than something only three people get.

Well, if you're feeling bold, you could always make a quick banner rotation system. Less work for me.
-
I'm not quite sure how the file system on Charas works.
Don't have access.
So that might not happen for a little while.
Also I just told him to modify the theme directly.
It was a very minor change that...healed the problem but didn't really fix it.
It's still there, it's just not nearly as bad.
-
This is a bit too monochromatic. After the turn of color will be very wonderful.
-
Yeah, I need to figure out how to make posts alternate.
Also, sorry guys, but it appears my "fix" made things worse.
The blocks no longer appear...buut now the blue never loads when you scroll down.
Maybe if I mix the two?
-
I thought you told me you applied the change.
So...yeah, something weird's going on.
My test server is acting as planned, so...yeah.
