It's a looker!! Thanx, vis!

>>8258 i'm getting older so... that's my excuse. i'm getting older. ;)

>>8227 thanx, JC :D
I just hope that the mister visitor45 sir will update my 'chiller' theme anytime soon..

>>8222 The black and yellow will bring it to life nicely :)

And the Threads page: Black, yellow and sky blue

A simple mod of the homepage:
-Again I used the Font 'Chiller',
-yellow I took from 'Merlin's Bar',
-Altered the 'First..Last' & 'Latest Comments' -The picture holder edges are yellow again with a black background,
-The Latest Comments section has an anthracite background
-The Latest Comments pictures must have a darker-close-to-but-not-really black background
-The Top Tag has got a yellow background

>>8220 looking good so far..will give you more details when I have the time. Thanx!

grim, i'm trying to figure out how your theme is supposed to look. refresh the browser and see "chiller" at the top and let me know. the theme is a duplicate of the "facebook" theme so i have only placed the background images and not changed anything else.

>>8188 thanks!

i still owe grim his theme. let's work on it tomorrow. i know you've heard this song before, but i'll get to it. :)

Sweet work with the new themes :D

all the appropriate tools are at the office. i'll piece it together on monday! :)

visssitorrrr, whennn willll ittt beeeeheee on heeereee?????

okay, go get them tiger45!

hey grim, i will try to get to this today. my real estate license is expiring soon and i now have my study materials to bog me down! :-\

Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet

>>8127 yes.. that's the one i remember.. what is that one called?

>>8126 >>8125 oh crap, I mean I mostly flew that plane or this one

no, I flew the Hawker Typhoon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Typhoon

>>8124 i was thinking of modeling one of those planes/jets in 3d.. is it the spitfire you flew? these videos give me ALMOST all the angles i need..

>>8123 great fun to watch and listen to those! :D

or this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw7YzGj1X_8

does this help? maybe you could make some screenshots of it..

>>8104 I'll dig around for some of our air battle screen caps!

>>8106 OMG, copyright infringement! or something like that ;)

The current 70's theme makes me crave Yoo-Hoo! for some reason.

if you refresh your browser, you will see i added a new theme ;)

>>8102 agreed.. maybe seafox has some pics? i'll see which ones i have. and JC prolly has a few

This site won't be complete with at least one airplane theme. I wanted to use the IL-2 pix from us when we were flying but I can't find them anymore :(

>>8099 haha.. nice, man! :D

Working on a new one.
This may take longer, since work and school has gained up on me.
If you can't guess, that (supposedly) is a Tron theme.

>>8095 i think that was a smart decision with the brown :) i'm really liking this color scheme - great job!! :D

>>8092

Maybe we should use the #803c0b brown for the .header_container background color. I think the yellow is too much in contrast with the brown.

That would mean changing the a.menu_themes' text color to black or white.

Other than that, good work. I'll try to get the seemless background image ready later today

whooo..far out, dude!

What a surprise this morning! Two surprises actually!

>>8083 i think i have the basics down.. almost done. what else would you like to add / change?? :)

>>8089 one day i will fix that! ;)

really rockin' it back to the 1970's!! i like it :D needs jack, janet, chrissy and the ropers and we'll be set! ;)

Here's the whole pic with header and footer

Another header, this one I use myself for Firefox

footer could be made into fullscreen (but it's late and I'm lazy ;)

actually my screen resolution is 1920x1080.
I found these I made for Firefox

I just noticed it isn't finished, 2 people missing

>>8077 mmmmm, bacon! :d

you know what to do:

.thread_container{ background-color:#881414;}
.navmenu_container{ background-color:#7e1b1e;}
.comment_container{ background-color:#881414;}
.comment_container blockquote{ background-color:#7e1b1e;}

how about the color scheme for these comment boxes? you can do two tone like on "our bar" or just one color for the whole thing?

sidebar background-color: #7e1b1e

thanks ftcyp! i'll start working on this. what colors (hex) are you using for the sidebar? refresh the page and you'll see "the 70's" link at the top..

For those of you who don't own photoshop but still want to do themes, go to Aviary.com and choose the paint tool or the vector tool.
Or you can install Gimp.

and the background tile for the thumbnailes on the homepage.

Header background

background image.

not seemless, but I don't have the time to change that right now.

yes, please do! :)

So I just need to upload the slices here? will that be ok?

>>8072 SWEET!! love the colors! :D

"screencap"

>>8062 A Tiki bar ALWAYS comes with hot, topless women! :p
And a vintage aviator bar would be grand! :D

jpeg is cool. 72 dpi is also cool.

sizes.. yikes. the header can be any respectable height, i suppose. the width gets tricky. grim has a 2000x900 screen resolution so the "our bar" header doesn't stretch to the full resolution. ;)

i think if you did a "print screen" and used those measurements for each section you wanted to create, that would be the best plan?

Working on the 70's theme right now.
Care to tell me the sizes for each picture?
I assume you ned 72dpi, right?

What resolution and format (jpeg,png) you want/need?

we can have many themes running at the same time so if you guys wanted to create some new ones, let's try it!

gotta have a header and a color theme and a main background image and sidebar and "coaster" for images on home page, etc. footer is optional. :)

Def a 70's theme!
Is a tiki bar with hot (topless) women? ;)

How about a vintage aviator's pub/bar?

I'll try to whip up something.
What's better, 70's theme or a slick clean-lined one?

A Tiki bar! :D

I still like the "our Bar" theme, makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl with a meat cleaver.

But I'll think aboot it
