Author Topic: Blforum Steam theme is broken?  (Read 2338 times)

Can I have the link to the add-on?

this is a forum, not a dress
I want it readable, not flashy
are you disagreeing with me? the default is about as easy to read as it gets

I normally browse until 4 am so the light hurts my eyes


that doesn't mean it's hard to read, it means you stay on your computer way too long

Its fixed now so I'll lock this unless yall wanna keep talkin about it.


do you have youtube changed too? or google?
there are themes for basically every relatively popular website out there nowadays.

how do any of these themes change that? changing light blue to light green or red or yellow (or everything to black) isn't exactly spicing things up
you only look at the colors.

the original theme is just a bunch of blue and white boxes surrounded in black outlines with some ugly-ass grainy blue bar stuff

Blockland Steam changes the title bar so it now scrolls with the page, removes the image on the left in the title bar, centers your user information, changes the color scheme in general to something more appealing and familiar, adds a stuffton of drop shadows, notably on avatars, while also adding rounded corners to said avatars, and adding a simplistic shine effect to some webpage elements.

Blockland Light (2, i don't like to speak of 1), the theme i'm using now, changes the color scheme, but only slighly. in fact, if it only changed the colors, it wouldn't be very distinguishable from the default theme. this theme changes the background to a diagonal semi-transparent white stripes pattern, adds a beveled effect to basically every box to make everything pop out, remove that gayass grainy image thing that i mentioned before, and adds a drop shadow to the website header.

right now you're acting like one of those old-timey folks with an extremely low attention to detail and a closed mind.

>implying the default theme barely works
i'm exaggerating here
i was aware that the default theme works fine, i was making the point in that it could be much, much better.

it's all preference anyway
why argue over opinions?

IMO changing everything to black is literally the most boring thing ever, and it's the edgiest thing you can do without going way overboard which isn't what I'd want to do. But whatever, you do you.

The default theme is probably the best.

it's fine to like the default theme, what isn't fine is to say that my themes just "change a couple colors" or that it shouldn't be changed just because it works.

I love the color black, everything is better black(incoming joke).


Grayscale all the way!
The only other color I like is Red, but only when used with Black.

i do admit, looking back at the steam theme, i don't think i pulled off black/grayscale look very well. the bright glowy text contrasts too much with the darkness. i might make another attempt at it in the future, stealing some tips from a website like this.

well, that was my personal opinion, I shouldn't have worded it like that.
