there are no option to download them right now??
]]>1. Do you think PunBB needs this? Or should we better leave the current Oxygen theme by default? (Remember the power of the habit :-)
No it does not and yes you should leave Oxygen theme as the default.
I have highlighted the important bits on this paragraph about PunBB as to why a) you do not bundle themes like this and b) why changing the goal posts for punbb is not practical.
PunBB is a fast and lightweight PHP-powered discussion board. It is released under the GNU General Public License. Its primary goals are to be faster, smaller and less graphically intensive as compared to other discussion boards. PunBB has fewer features than many other discussion boards, but is generally faster and outputs smaller, semantically correct XHTML-compliant pages.
Who in charge came up with the idea to produce a new theme?
Plus you mention that someone has been taken on to help with the CSS work, could we possibly have a link to some sites this person has produced?
]]>]]>i cant see it uploaded to webspace but PunBB doesnt shows it in style combobox.
I like this style bether.
it works now i uploaded the informer style with wrong name ,
seems it needs that i must rename to Informer.
]]>any one of them would be nice.
]]>Another theme: Blue.
No more additional themes planned.
They will be done just after the markup update is finished.
I'm loving the blue one. What I hate about Oxygen is the starkness of it, especially its white background because looking at it hurts my eyes.
When Blue is finished I'm going to install it for certain and eventually make a red version of it.
]]>Q
]]>]]>Will it be made available via the extensions system or will I have to keep an eye out here for it?
It's in SVN, you can download it via trac browser ("Zip Archive" link at the bottom of the page). But this style is in the development stage yet.
when the new themes will be ready?
Soon
More images are much needed. Lightweight images, of course, and only a few of them, but images none the less. That current screenshot looks great, IMO.
All in all, we REALLY need more styles no matter WHAT they are. I'm a web developer but I work in good old fashioned HTML, not this XHTML+CSS+Javascript, etc., crap... I make some sweet standards-compliant websites, but the jumbled mess of incomprehensible CSS-styled <div> code is totally foreign to me. So in my PunBB forum, I have to rely on finding a style similar to what I want the forum to look like, then tweak pieces here and there. Building it from scratch is so far out of my scope!
And I think that work-in-progress one is just what I'm looking for. Will it be made available via the extensions system or will I have to keep an eye out here for it?
edit: Although the most notable image that appeared in the new style is just a forum logo... that alone is one option that's sorely missing from PunBB styles.
