Topic: [Style release] Late Night + New style preview

The style is now release. Scroll down to this post for details

---

Hi everyone!

Well, I'm close to getting another style ready for release (yes, this time I'll actually finish it), but I'd like some feedback on before I do. There's not much left on it, other than cleaning the CSS a little. I've been working on this over the weekend, and I'm rather satisfied with it now. There are a few images in the style, but the total size is less than 0.5kb (447 bytes) smile

It's best viewed in Opera, Firefox, Safari, or, in other words, pretty much any browser besides IE. The reason for this is that IE won't display the table cell hover effects, but other than that, it should display exactly the same.

Here's the link to my test forum: http://gallery.tasarinan.com

Guests are allowed to post in all forums, so don't be afraid to play around wink

If nobody encounter any major bugs, I'll try to have it available for download before the end of this week.

Looking good smile

It's nice that it's starting to pop up som quality styles for PunBB and not only those spinkBB styles that kind of look the same.

Thanks smile

I kinda feel the same way about spinkBB. It's a really good and interesting project, but as you said, they all kinda looks the same. It's great for those that don't want/have the time to make styles themselves though.

Re: [Style release] Late Night + New style preview

I've now cleaned up the style (for the most part anyway), and fixed the remaining bugs that I was aware of. I hope that the ones downloading, will enjoy it smile

For more details & demo, read this post over @ my "test" forum.

To install, just unzip the file directly into your PunBB root folder.

Edit: Just discovered a bug. I've fixed it and updated the archives.

Re: [Style release] Late Night + New style preview

Just had a slow day at work, so I started on a new PunBB style smile It's done for the most part, but I still have a few quirks to work out.

It's working well enough for me to use it as the default style at my test forum though, so it probably won't be long before I release it...

Here's a sample screen:

Please share any feedback & suggestions you might have smile

Happy that you like it!

Hmm, I'll try padding the navbar a little and see how it looks... I'll post a comparison screen so you'll be able to see what you prefer smile

Edit:

Ok, I padded it a little, and I think I prefer this version smile

here's a new screen:

Re: [Style release] Late Night + New style preview

Thanks for the comments smile

I've now updated the version in use on the test forum to include the new version. If anyone's interested, I could always share a "beta" version?

Re: [Style release] Late Night + New style preview

Well, things are progressing nicely now with the theme.. There's a lot of different tweaks to do here and there, but it's all fun smile

Added a few new functions to the theme as well (by an include in the template). It's nothing big, but I thought having a PHP font-size switcher available would be nice to have, seeing as I'm sure there are other people than me that never uses the zoom fuctions in their browser (I prefer to be able to set it on a per-site basis). I first tried doing that with javascript, but found out that it wasn't going to work very well. I ended up writing a couple of PHP scripts instead.

I'll be releasing that script + the modified templates with the style when it's done..

Here's a few screens:
