Topic: Default 1.3 styles contest?

Maybe the styles contest that's been discussed could be done BEFORE 1.3 final? And include the top 4-5 styles as default styles? Just a thought. Of course guidelines and rules regarding validation of code would need to be included.

Thoughts?

Or maybe right after the final is released. Maybe the CSS is going to be changed before the the final is released.

I think a contest would be cool ^^. I would certainly make a style for it. But I think there should be a (cool) price for the winner else not much people would join the contest. 2 People at Punres organised a contest and almost nobody joined it.

Hm, I believe it comes down to the type of monitor you have, I've tested other such displays at work, and its darker. I designed this on my sony laptop. But yeah I fully agree its too dark. Thus I will not be continuing this one smile

Thanks for the feed back though

by the way ... when you say offical 1.3 styles ... do u mean styles with no images like the old offical styles of 1.2 to make it fast or any style which looks bitter. ...

Re: Default 1.3 styles contest?

What makes you think official styles have to be graphics free?

Re: Default 1.3 styles contest?

I'd enter a contest big_smile

Re: Default 1.3 styles contest?

I'd also enter smile But screw winning a prize or anything. Having your theme in 1.3 is enough smile

I'd hit it. You can also do magic without images.

TO ALL: This is just a suggestion. The staff have not endorsed this. For all I know Paul has other plans for the default styles.

A donor is someone who has donated money to punbb. You can no longer do this on punbb.org (not sure about punres) becuase of the new owners of the software (or something)

Consider it mentioned. There is no officially endorsed competition and my only plans for the official styles is to finish them and then take a very very long break.

Re: Default 1.3 styles contest?

I just say go for gold making styles, regardless if they're going to be official or not. The more styles the better.

Re: Default 1.3 styles contest?

This is a beta stylesheet which will be completely changed by the time a release candidate comes along so I'm not going to be fixing individual problems in the meantime.

Re: Default 1.3 styles contest?

ok thanks ...
