XS updates

[Origin_Unknown]

this new skin looks like a kids forum now

I'm scaored. or drunk. I think it' scarored.

Guys this theme is the stock vbulletin theme. Don't worry, it won't stick around

Another site I'm a member of looked exactly like this when they first did the upgrade.

So, who was pounding F5 all day trying to get on here? *raises hand*

<edit> interesting, a bunch of the smileys are busted.

Sparky: whatever new themes will be introduced, please leave option of one that looks like old one available.
I'm old grumpy conservative man, that prefers to stick to die-hard habits if it's possible

Oh, and please add to smileys dremel one

[XSAlliN]

Sure hope so - cause the default theme looks awful as if it was cloned.

[aussie-revhead]

Yeah this forum feels strange now, how do I get the old "user cp" function now?

[Waterlogged]

Like the new look but agree that a darker version would be an improvement.

Also noticed all previous posts by users are no longer viewable in their profiles.

aussie, click on settings in upper right hand corner.

It's funny how we all like different things - I kinda like this look, but imagine it will change as things get tuned up. It is bright, but that allows me to turn down my display on the laptop.

Yeah too bright for me too, any chance of selectable schemes?

Yeah thanks I found it now, it didnt show anything before due to not showing older posts.

Cheers.

I don't mind this layout, but I also would like a slightly darker background. (hard on the old eyes)

[davidkozat]

So I guess thats why XS has been down and slow recently but I do like the new look!!

[vern]

I like this new version

[aussie-revhead]

Im sure we will get used to it quickly enough.

[jcool]

I'm sorry but this just looks wrong. Can we get XS back, please?

[RaZz!]

i must be weird. i kinda like the new theme. slick and clean!

Me too! It would be great to have the choice which theme to use (new or old one). The old theme looked quite dated and dull

[kam03]

OMG it doesn't feel like im on XS any more. The whole new design makes it feel like I'm in a total different forum. Please bring the old design back or change the colour scheme to the one that represents the old one the most.

Everything looks too bright and bubbly. The layout, colour scheme and images needs to be flat and more minimalistic.

[Den Leiw]

I like it but a bit too bright

[Ket]

Refreshing to see stuff updated... but it looks too "poofy".

[noobzed]

Ugly dark now ... prefer the previous one, the "so bright" one ....

[muzz]

I appreciate all Fugger does for sure, without him there is no Xtreme forum.
With that being said, I'm not a fan of this style bored, another forum I belong too uses this format, and well....I don't go there much.

Hopefully it'll be customizable enough to make it look good like the older format, cuz that was top shelf.

playing with colors and learning the setvar locations.

No way to get old look back with new version, eva2000 might be able to help tweak colors more.

When I am done tweaking color scheme I will save it as an user selectable option and test more colors.

I find the background too dark for the black text. The light quotes only make it worse. Generally speaking dark text on a light background is more ergonomic.

(I realize most people have their monitors/TVs set very bright. Typically in excesses of 150cd/m2. I'm viewing this from a hardware calibrated monitor set at 120cd/m2, which is already consider far too bright for printing purposes.)

I think the best solution would be to offer users an option to customize the colors or a choice of limited number of alternatives

Totally agree
