DoujinStyle.com - Doujin Soft, Doujin Music and Touhou

whatever, input 2d characters if you want. but i'd rather not see them when I open this forum up.
I would get an image that this forum is all about touhou/animu, which it isn't.

Just a thought (I'm no good at art or anything)

I would probably say to keep the banner and that type of stuff monochrome or atleast a colour that isn't conflicting with the various themes that the site has or might have.

The style is in or what's on it doesn't matter to me tbh, but just as long it isn't elaborate in such it's an eye sore depending on the theme of the forum a user has.

My 2 cents tbh.

I also like all the banners y'all made prior to this post.

Just wondering, is it possible to restore the old theme DS used to have?

its katakana and i'm not sure about the size

the size is alright


but I'm not sure if there's a need to make this forum look even more weeaboo

Alright guys, here's some more information:

1. I have done some research and am still doing some research, but I think the idea of multiple themes and colors is going to work just fine. I am going to find a way to implement faster changes of the theme without actually changing the theme, thus different color schemes via different CSS files.
2. We are going to get one or two professional themes and modify them to give them the DS look and feel. People will be able to choose from these.
3. Our custom themes will be put together by the community.

There are no set standards at the moment for the custom themes, once I have the pro themes I will let you guys know the image specs, names, file types, and other features.

I don't know of any feature that would allow us to use an older IPB theme on the newer framework, so I don't think that is an option here. I could be wrong, however.

This.

Wanted to give you guys an update.

I am currently getting some help from a professional designer into better understanding the template system that IPB uses in order to manipulate the look and feel of the forums. Once I am able to bring more information to this thread, there will be a major update with a few ideas, some actual standards for the operation, and ideas to use our own graphics within the theme.

But the thing is that we NEED the size of every graphics in this IPB. And trust me, it's not that easy. :V

That's the opposite of what you need for custom theming. Most themes don't use the same image sizes as the original IPB theme because they are built from the ground up. Sometimes they are similar sizes but the entire concept is to redesign, not to just reskin. If you're reskinning, you're not making a theme.

I see your point. We'll try the best we can.

Derp der... I'm bored. One for dark theme I suppose.

Is this still happening?

I hope so :V

I might pitch in an idea or two if I can help it lol

Ah, I remember when I did some things and thought I'd keep it up and always ended up hitting a huge freaking wall and stopping altogether. Still never got any good dark themes done except for my Sakuya one. I really stuck with reskinning though, as making a completely new theme seems like a waste of time considering the base is good enough to work with, though really you should call it "reformatting" as opposed to changing the theme, unless all you're really doing beyond a basic reskin is changing the buttons as well.

Y did this never happen? Honestly I'm willing to pick this project up if you guys have the time and patience for me.

Most of the oldfags probably know my webwork, but heres some shitscreencap:

Yeah I know right?

The light blue theme is getting a bit boring.

I see a Sanae theme on the first screen, absolutely loving it

Knowing how you work, I bet you'd do some wonderful stuff Nine.

inb4 almost got confused there for an hour for a few seconds.
