Custom Theme Required

[Morg Leigh]

Hi all,

I run a website for community clan ( http://www.ofc-gaming.com) which is currently using PHPNuke Platinum which hasn't been updated for some time and the next release is not moving to PHPBB3 which is disappointing to say the least.

Since my clan don't really use much other than the forums and a chat box, I have decided to ditch the rest of the site in favour of moving to PHPBB3.

So basically I am looking for a style which suits the clan and it's ethos which is built around fun and teamwork. I am happy to pay for someone to develop a custom style for us so if anyone is interested and wants to discuss my requirements further then let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I sent you a PM with my pricing.

Well here is a first mock up
I'm posting it here so that it can be easily seen by the people you need to decide on things.
Colors can be easily changed, the forum blocks are just place holders, the gray where the actual forum text would be, will probably be a light tan, litter than the borders.
Anyway, I didn't want to go any further in case this was not a direction you wanted to go.
Also this would be fixed at about 1000px because of the banner, I would need to make a different banner to go bigger, full width fluid with a banner like this wouldn't be possible
because of the different monitor sizes. I could make something with a plainer background that can be repeated if you want it full width.
Let me know, I'll start on something a little different yet tonight.

Sorry about the water marks, (security) I can PM you a clean one if necessary.

Some icon options

Hi Topdown,

Looking good to me. I like the logo and the inclusion of the games we play. I've posted a link to this thread on our forums for them to come and check it out.

I'll post the feedback once everyone's had a look or they'll sign up and give you some feedback direct.

Cheers,

Morg

I added another one with some really quick Icon options for the forums and topics

Not sure I like the tan background or maybe its the gray that needs to go.

Keep in mind that this will be roughly the size that it is in the image.

Hmm, I know those icons....
Looking good Jeff. Try adding some blending options to the text or so.
Spice it up

Hi TopDown,

Have given it the weekend to get some feedback from our senior admins and this is a summary of there comments:

"Overall its a very nice layout and good colour scheme. Liking the icons - very nice"
"Tan is nice, but needs to be richer, and perhaps the grey a tad darker! "
"OFc-Gaming and Teamwork is everything is lost on that background and with that font - needs to be bolder and, well chunkier!"

Most of them have suggested we use a different font to what is currently being used. They like the font we have on our existing site, unfortunately when my PC died I lost all my fonts and I havent a clue what its called . I'll do some digging around see if I cant find where I got the theme from.

Just out of interest what colours will be used for the forum threads and the text colour?

Almost forgot, a couple have asked that the header whilst including all the games we play should lean more towards CS: Source as this is the primary game. I should have mentioned this at the start so apologies for that.

Cheers,

Morg

Hi again,

I think the font we're currently using is the Bladerunner font. If it isn't then it's pretty throw new Exception('Dang'); close.

I added comments under each in bold italics

Which gray, the background or wrap, I'm assuming the background

"OFc-Gaming and Teamwork is everything is lost on that background and with that font - needs to be bolder and, well chunkier!"
Not a problem, the fonts and text are the easy part

Let me know, I can look through mine also, I have a couple thousand is it the site you linked me to ?

This is also quite easy to adjust, probably something with contrast so it shows up well but matches the layout colors

I'll see what I can come up with

Some color variations, font changes, etc....

If you like the thought of a camo background, it can be made to reflect the colors of the style or whatever 2 colors.
