Forum:New wiki theme

I've never considered the theme of this wiki to be good but the recent changes have not done it any favours as its gruelling appearance now bills an even higher cost to eye-strain. --BBilge 10:23, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

What would you suggest we do with the the theme of this wiki? --LoLisNumbaWan 10:29, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Revert it for starters. Redesign it for entrée. --BBilge 10:47, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Was thinking the same same thing and we need something of a brighter color. --LoLisNumbaWan 10:55, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

I totally agree that any web design should stay away from deep dark background with pale text. It hurts the eye so much because the white text grows. As a wiki the color layout should be as practical and friendly as possible. Also if the reader uses monobook skin most texts of the templates are simply unreadable because its default background color is white with black text. -- Inpursuit (talk) 10:59, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * All valid points however these are long-standing issues. More recently navy borders and buttons have become prevalent and, for me, present a bigger issue in terms of both taste and practicality. --BBilge 11:05, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Your argument is invalid, white on black and black on white are equally bad for your eyes... Yellow or purple on a black background would be better. But your not really that into the "good for your eyes" statement as you claim, are you? O.o

Really it's been discussed on several forums, talk pages and even normal pages. But lets be honest, we all agree that it needs to change, but the discussion is pointless without an actual alternative... Once again, make an actual suggestion as what it would look like... -_-'Deshiba 09:07, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

One big issue is how awful the wikia theme designer is, that and the background image we have being the colors it is. 09:34, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have no compunction about circumventing the theme designer. You might try it too. I don't understand the background image. Is it supposed to be LoL related? I have no idea what it is. --BBilge 10:33, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

It took me like 15 mins, it's a rough draft and I'm not too sure about the link color, but here's an idea: http://i51.tinypic.com/28wjcm0.png 11:47, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I honestly believe that crats or even admins have the right to change the theme of this wiki. It's just the matter of which combination of colors we should go after. Usually the warmer/softer colors do you eye better, but it must have some degree of contrast so it wouldn't be too inaccessible for visually impaired readers. -- Inpursuit (talk) 11:54, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * 28wjcm0.png is a nice touch, but I strongly prefer pale background with dark text. -- Inpursuit (talk) 11:56, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
