Regarding Aqua-soft Menu Bar

Anyone else think that the bar at the top of this page looks really gross? I don't know what it is about it. Maybe the font or the look or maybe just the whole idea is looking utterly ugly. Anyone else think so?

It looks good here. Post a screenie, let us see how does it look on your monitor.

#195329

Everything looks crappier on windows classic, sid :rolleyes:

#195336

my only problem with it is that it's right up to the top of the browser window... i just wish there was a little space between it and the top.

Why is that?

#195354

I like it, even though I don't use that much. it's cool :)

#195355

because you kind of lose it, becomes a little bit unnoticeable. for the work you put into it, it should stand out a little more (in my opinion)

#195356

The only thing I could think of why it looks ugly is because the rest of the skin is a default.

It's like eating a chocolate cake that tastes like viel. It's very decieving.

#195360

It looks pretty good to me but what I don't understand is why is this forum like the default IFB skin? Why is there not an Aqua skin? And please don't yell if I missed something, I was away for a while.

#195361

No, Timmie has yet to create an Aqua-Skin for IPB 2.0 after the accedental upgrade from 1.3. And with his luck, 1.3 skins are not compatable with 2.0.

Poor Timmie :console:

#195362

it will look much nicer when tim finishes the tiger skin to match it. just be patient

Here's an idea for the menubar: have it so that it stays at the top of the browser screen when you scroll down like this:

http://www.twistedcpu.com/as/ is where I started the skin, but its trash now, so if anyone wants to design the new forum skin, just hollar ;)

#195389

I feel that opening this to the general A~S crowd could be very good ... we have tons of talented coders/designers here so the end result could be stunning - nice idea Timmie ;)

Just wish I had the first clue about IPB...

#195397

Please don't do that. it'll spoil the whole site.

actually, that screenshot that LPF pasted above, that's kind of what i was thinking... notice the tiny space between the top of the bar in the window and where the links bar is in I.E.

something small & subtle, just to distinguish it apart from the browser.

I meant don't have it so that the bar is static while the rest of the site scrolls. The 2 pixel-ish gap doesn't look much different.

#195406

i wasn't actually referring to what you were saying... i was kinda referencing my own input from the last page... when i saw the screenshot, that was just reinforcing what i was trying to say.

#195414

it's fine as it is...leave it alone.

can't any of you just accept what is given?

"But Duckie, this is an open forum...are you going to censor everything? Why can't we get what WE want. How come we have to settle for someone elses image?"

because it isnt YOUR forum...it's Tim's

besides, I dont see any of you jumping out of your seats to help him.

#195459

oh that's right, duckie, you didn't suggest it, so it's obviously wrong...

it's a comments and suggestion thread people post comments and suggestions :blink: the novelty of it!!!

the self-righteousness is getting annoying lately.

#195466

I miss the shadow under the bar but you dont see me making up a thread to complain about it, right?

all my comments about the look/feel go directly to Tim by PM, IM, or other means.

Tim asked for help on the look/feel and very few people offered him much input.

besides, if it is a comment/suggestion forum, why can I not suggest someone help Tim out instead of *****ing or creating new obstacles?

#195474

timan, why you giving up on the skin?? The one at the url at twisted comp looks awesome...don't stop now. :(
