What style do you use?
 
Cause I'm curious.

Really people? you use Black and Green?

It must be the old timers who have gotten used to that color scheme. Light colors ftw.

The white and green to me, looks really meh.
I like the black and green.


I like the layout a lot better than the other one.
The drop bars, the way it actually displays new threads for me, instead of only selectively displaying them.

Now, if the Green and White colour scheme, had the same layout as the black and green, I might think entirely differently.

Re: What style do you use?
 
The green and white has drop bars as well, no?

Green and White.

I would be using Green and Red right now if it was possible. :(

Green and white is lame. Black is the way to go.

Green and Black. Looks more professional...though like that matters. Easier on the eyes. Homey and comforting...like sucking on the bosom of a lactating baboon as she hums "You Can't Stop The Beat" on a cliff-side cave overlooking the ocean at sunset while little dinosaurs play volleyball on the beach down below.

Maybe my computer just doesn't like green and white, then. :confused:

You mean when you click on someone's username and click on stuff like "Quick Links" and such?

Yes.

Still like Green and Black...Too used to it I guess..Other style bugs me.

Re: What style do you use?
 
I go with green and white 'cause it's easier to read and navigate. Feels more legit too.

jeepnut 06-29-2008 01:21 AM

I'm Green and Black'n. I don't like the color green used in the light scheme.

Green and black. What can I say? We old folks are set in our ways.

I tied it 6-6. I use green and white because it's a little more compact. The black one has all these extra borders in post boxes.

Fyacin 06-29-2008 08:16 AM

Re: What style do you use?
 
The green and black has a wierd background on my moniter, it like streaks or something, plus like every other site I go to has a black background.

Vampyr 06-29-2008 11:42 AM

Re: What style do you use?
 
Don't want to be a humbug, but I don't like either too much, although I use the green and black. It's just that the green and black is very alien and futuristic looking, and it's such a popular free style that tons of people have it, and the green white is nice, but not too original. Neither really have a "tavern" feel.

I always thought that brown and gold would be nice, or red and gold.

Or that old rainbow colored GameTavern theme. Anyone still have a screenshot of that?

Typhoid 06-29-2008 01:52 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
Red and gold, or brown and gold would look really tacky.

Yeah, if the person making it didn't know what they were doing or didn't have any artistic talent.

Typhoid 06-29-2008 02:06 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
I think gold is a bad colour choice.


I'd go with a light version of both colours.
Like, a really pale red, outlined possibly by a deeper red, and instead of gold - because gold is overdone everywhere, a really pale yellow.

Re: What style do you use?
 
Green and black. I still think a orange and white would be cool :P

flunkie44 06-29-2008 02:22 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
Orange and White or Red/White/Gra(e)y

Teuthida 06-29-2008 02:30 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
A darkish brown resembling wood would fit the tavern motif nicely. Perhaps each "shelf" could physically resemble wooden shelves. The forums themselves could be clickable bottles on these shelves. But with only two per shelf might not look as nice as it could would more. The parchment looking background on WOW's site might be nice for post backgrounds.

I like the green and black.

flunkie44 06-29-2008 05:33 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
Which do you use, Bond?

After you fixed the spoiler tags.. I tried out green and black. It's actually not too shabby. Hmm.

Vampyr 06-29-2008 05:49 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
Here's a very pretty brown one that I now of. It's for Invasion Boards, but they aren't too different.

http://forums.achaea.com/

I know of another one that's red and gold and very cool looking, but that site seems to have exceeded it's bandwidth at the moment. I'll post a link to it when it comes back up.

Green and black. I prefer darker




But Vamp I quite like that style

I use the green and white style.

I find it to be easier on the eyes.

Beta Style 2.0 is now available for selection. It's Orange Box themed.

I still prefer the Green an Black, though the new orange color is cool too.

Not bad. I might stick with this for a while. Needs a nice banner though...

Fox 6 06-29-2008 10:35 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
I could get used to this.

Vampyr 06-29-2008 10:36 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
Something I whipped up really quickly. Background doesn't look as good as it did in Photoshop though. :ohreilly:

Dyne is going to have to change the image header. He did this special little jig where it adapts to the window changing size.

I'm liking the orange...Nice change up for now.

Holy crap.. Orange..

My eyes!!! :'(

The orange isn't bad...but I'm surrounded by orange walls all day long. Begins to drive one a tad...crazy.

flunkie44 06-29-2008 11:56 PM

Re: What style do you use?
 
I like the brown one better than the gold.

I still want Red/Grey/White.
