Wood and Parchment Theme

Postby Jikanta » Sun Apr 27, 2003 8:12 pm

I took the two previous themes and crossed them. Now almost all the text is brown or black, on a parchment background. The only white text should be the titles on the dark wood background.

I also got rid of the Book Antiquia font (or whatever it was) and switched to Verdana, which is easier to read in my opinion.

What do you guys think? Suggestions, comments, ideas?

I like it. It's a nice, non-busy theme. It sorta medieval pub-like.

Not bad, this theme looks pretty good. I do like it better than the previous one...

Jikanta,

I do not know what came over me, but thought that I might help. So, I made these,

I know, the are not perfect. I kinda made them quick like. If you like them I can make them better later, or even different colors, when I have a little more time.

This theme doesn't work at all for me. Some of the links are brown, but all the other text is black on a black background.

This sucks, Jikanta. Please fix it.

What black background are you talking about? Where do you see them? Could you possibly send me a couple of screen shots showing the problem?

?:(

my guess is that the background of the cells in the tables are not coming through right. What browser are you using?

He's using a Mac...LOL :P
It's good, except for the quotes are hard to read.

I am at work right now and using a Mac and the board looks fine (except for the quotes, which I will fix later), so it's not just the fact that he's using a Mac that's the problem.

He might be using an older verison of Netscape or Internet Explorer. Hell, he might even have some odd-ball browser install.

Yea...maybe if he took time out of trying to give people so much crap he would be able to learn how to fix the computer on his side, since everyone else seems to be able to see it.

This is what I'm guessing his browser looks like. That screenshot was taken using Nutskrape 4.79

Good stuff. I especially like the new Belegarth thing at the top. Looks good.

Jothardin, I changed some settings to try and fix the black background you're seeing. Did it work?
