Tay Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hey everybody, Just wanted to make you aware that I've restored a deleted forums theme (formerly "Fuwa 2015"), but it's been re-designed for simplicity and it's now called "Clarity". Give it a try and let me know what you think. Feedback would be extremely helpful. - Tay PS: I'll be in-and-out for the next few days, so if you don't hear back from me on PM or email, don't take it personally. I'll be back-back on Tuesday, but I'll probably pop in-and-out briefly before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohman Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Not for me, a little too much white space for my taste. I also don't like how the user info to the left of posts doesn't really have a clear boundary from the rest of the real estate, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, I'm not super-crazy about the white space, either (that's why I took down the theme the first time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyssal Monkey Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'll be honest, unlike the dark theme, this theme literally looks like a reskin of FuwaFabulous skin. Everything looks exceedingly similar. I'm not saying people can't use it, and I'm not saying it's bad, but it really does just look like a limited version of FuwaFabulous with a different coat of paint.

nohman Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 As an aside, and I might just be completely imagining this, but didn't the Fuwafabulous theme used to be like pink/red or something like that? I just switched to it for the first time in awhile and was surprised to see it was green. Am I thinking of some other theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 ^Fuwafabulous is customizeable colors. Clarity is ugly ;-; nohman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuki Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Look pretty bad to me... Also, this theme makes backer badge become out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 RE: Clarity -- it also has problems with the notifications buttons.... I don't think it's worth renewing this one. I think we can let it go.

I just switched to it for the first time in awhile and was surprised to see it was green. Am I thinking of some other theme? Yes, I did switch the defaults. That was part of a larger switch, however, where FuwaFabulous is now the default forums theme. ... the day of Gravity Green has passed... (Nobody needs to mourn just yet, though: there will be a formal memorial service once we finally upgrade to IPB 4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohman Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 ... the day of Gravity Green has passed... (Nobody needs to mourn just yet, though: there will be a formal memorial service once we finally upgrade to IPB 4) That will be a sad day; It's what I still use. Though looking at Fuwafabulous and its options, you can get it looking pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 If you could put Scott's face on it, I think it'd be worth keeping. Another downside to this theme, on mobile the user options are hidden away in the layout for some reason so you can't use it as well.

Eclipsed Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 What's the technobabble behind not being able to keep the skins despite everyone thinking they're ugly (Clarity) or everyone living in dinosaur ages unable to live for the future (Gravity Green) Refund? Skin limit? (Gank Clarity. Keep Gravity Green for the same reasons you wanted to keep the Birthday widget ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohman Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 What's the technobabble behind not being able to keep the skins despite everyone thinking they're ugly (Clarity) or everyone living in dinosaur ages unable to live for the future (Gravity Green) No technobabble. As I understand it, they cost money and carry a renewal fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 No technobabble. As I understand it, they cost money and carry a renewal fee. GANK THEM!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Doesn't cost extra to keep. It costs extra if you want to maintain support and updates. It's a 10 dollar fee every 6 months in that case. The theme itself was already bought and won't disappear even if we don't renew support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cythnar Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Personally, I switch between Gravity Green and FuwaFabulous. There's nothing wrong with Clarity per se, though it does seem somewhat... Well, it doesn't really pop out and say, "I'm unique!" it's just kind of there. Dull, maybe? It's kind of like Gravity Green, with just a lot of white. I wouldn't mind using it of course, but it just feels really "normal." Nothin' special. Edit: Though I guess, that's not really a bad thing. Simplicity has its own charm, and if it isn't costing anything to keep it, I don't see why not. Is there a way to see statistics of how many people use what theme and all that jazz? I'd be interested in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 God no it's terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyssal Monkey Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Options are always good as long as there are no downsides. As long as you're not losing money because of Clarity, you might as well keep it. I personally won't use it, but there's no reason to stop other people from using it as long as it doesn't drain resources or stop something else from happening. I assume that's why Gravity Green is getting ganked, because IPB 4 won't support it. Dark theme master race, midnight black makes it less painful when moving between rooms in the dark.

Fiddle Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I cannot truthfully describe it as fabulous, which is obviously a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 ^You mean you cannot clarify it as Clarity ~~ Oh, if there are no extra costs to keep Clarity, just leave it there I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Well, the cost is that he doesn't remove it and then later the six people that do use it get mad that it keeps breaking because no longer supported etc. Or just that it apparently doesn't support PM notifications... what the hell is with that anyway?

Dark Ariel7 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Not sure what happened but if looks all weird now because clarity then Im not a fan. Darn kids. I leave for a few days and it all goes green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nayleen Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Is there really any need to keep yet another theme that I'll have to keep updated when I make changes like the ones yesterday? :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 ^Yea- NO!!! I didn't consider that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
