OMG,Don,t we look posh.  :clap2: Well Done Kitz,nice job.   


Edit,can,t get used to the blue and white buttons being reversed. 

[roseway]

Just a couple of comments:

1. As you know, I have a largish minimum font size specified, and this causes the navigation buttons at the top to overflow. See the screenshot below.

2. I don't know if it's just me, but the coloured squares at the left of forum pages which indicate unread messages seem back to front to me - I think I would expect to see coloured blobs for unread messages and plain blobs for read ones. Others may disagree.

I agree with you eric,I think they should be changed,but don,t want to be sent to the naughty corner for saying that.

[Achilles Last Stand]

Yes it's taken me a couple of peeks into threads to work out the colour-reverse buttons 


Looks very slick otherwise though, very nice indeed  :clap2:

Fair comment with the blue/white.  - Its possibly because the old silver theme had the blue highlighted, that we got so used to seeing blue as meaning new posts.

The whole new theme has silver set as "active" and blue as "non-active" in line with the forum nav bars (which used to be silver and are now blue)... ... and also the new top site nav which also has silver as active. In a way the whole colour scheme has been reversed from silver to blue. If you view the forum when logged out you will see what I mean about active and non-active.

However, I do know what youre saying as it did take me a couple of goes to get used to it...
which was double strange since for the past few days when logged in as kitz I was seeing blue as active..  and when logged in via admin seeing silver as active.
By all means I have no problem with you guys mentioning it - if it does continue to be a problem then I can change it.


As regards to the CSS overflow for large text - that one i'll certainly look into that ASAP and try sort it..  although I will admit Ive just scratched my head on this one.   Since from what I can see its only doing this is FF...  Other browsers seem to be OK even if I wap the size up to max
Theres plenty of room from your screen cap for it to be able to spread to either side too. 
Its all valid CSS so I need to see if its perhaps inheriting something some the forum software styles or whether its something stupid Ive done.   I'm a tad tired and perhaps my brain isnt functioning right and so I might be missing the obvious right now.

A lovely job Kitz ...I love the subtle colours that all blend perfectly    :clap2: :clap2:       I didn't even notice the read/unread  message boxes before never mind after

I see the painters snook in whilst we weren't looking.

[UncleUB]

Careful,its not quite dry.

Eric -

Hows that looking now? - Ive done a couple of adjustments ...  I know that the menu isnt quiet lining up in the middle - but it shouldnt be squeezing as much now.   If its showing ok for you...  then do the pixel counting to re-align centrally.

--- whoops forget that Ive now screwed it up for normal viewing

* kitz goes back to the drawing board.

TBH I'm finding the reversal of the read/unread buttons a bit of a pain too, but as with everything else, I expect we'll soon get used to it.

* Floydoid hands Kitz a new pack of crayons

Very posh and I like the new colour schem - makes the room look bigger!!  I agree though that the reverse blue/white of buttons showing new posts is rather confusing.  Hope I get used to that bit before too long.  Well done with all the hard work though - and thank you!

[roseway]

>> Hows that looking now?

While noting that you've gone back to the drawing board, it does look OK here.

[roseway]

I don't want to over-emphasise the issue of blue/silver buttons because, as you say, you can get used to it. But looking at several other forums, it does seem to be generally the case that the more obvious 'foreground' colour is used for unread messages, and the 'background' colour is used for read ones.

Nice look little one . Well done.

[tuftedduck]

Beautiful ! Nice and clear, easily read for one with dodgy eyesight and overall a "softer" look which does not induce eyestrain on the oldies.

Thank you, and well done.
