Forum Template Design/Update/Removal

Recommended Posts

Behind the scenes the talented web design team have been beavering away on creating a distinct, formalised style for all BIS web content, you can see for example that http://www.bistudio.com/ and http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Main_Page share a similar visual style. Work has now been undertaken to create a similarly styled template for the forums, you can see this if you currently use Nexus or choose to use it:

As compared to the current default:

defaultgyd.th.jpg

Over the next few days we will be removing a number of the other old themes as it's not beneficial to keep so many themes around and outdated ones can cause compatibility/stability issues, for now we intend to keep Nexus as the primary default theme with the current default one available for those who refer to use it, please feel free to give your feedback/suggestions :)

Oh, there.

Well, Nexus is otherwise nice but the text is too gray.

I dont see 'Nexus' in the list. :P

...and yeah i agree the colors in the Nexus screenshot are boring, sorry.

Bohemia has such great colors in their main logo, why not use Black & Rainbow-colors as main theme?

I kind of like the new theme, its quite refreshing to look at. Though not sure on so much grey.

Uh, now that I have Nexus, I don't see the change style option anymore.

Am happy that all BIS content now follows a distinct, unique scheme.

Need to agree with the others, though: too much gray, too less contrast. Hope its just because its so different from the previous one, and can get used to it.

Same for me. I'm stuck in the grey side of the force :D

EDIT : the menu is back.

New icons to match the new style would be welcomed. And would it be possible to make the text the same color as usernames? So it's darker, but not completely black.

Otherwise it looks pretty cool.

Well after XX years BIS decided to create a CI...

Its just too much grey with low text contrast (reading should be natural and easy) maybe try black text as default? :)

I think black text or as Cole said same colour text as the username would be better :)

I prefer the old one because it has full screen width - no margins.

White background please (instead of grey).

*hurg* I suddenly thought my eyes had started to see monochrome.

Beyond that. I like the new layout. :)
