Pirate-Community Style Suggestions

[Droolie]

Yesterday, I had the idea of editing the StarCraft theme a little myself. To test the style, I had to upload a completely new phpBB3 forum. Of course, it took some time to find a fine free host that supported phpBB3, upload & install the forum + the StarCraft theme. So there aren't any changes to the StarCraft theme now. I started editing today, but, I can't test the edits yet, because the site's FTP seems to be down ( I have a timeout while waiting for the FTP's welcome message )...
So here is the style testing forum: http://raymanpc-test.freehostia.com/phpBB3/
( don't worry about the banner & logo, it's the banner I made ( and soon Jman's logo, when the FTP starts working again ), I'll keep it this way until the final logo&banner are here )

Here, you can post some suggestions about how the theme should look ( background, buttons, etc. ? ).

I think the theme looks altogether good

[Jman]

I think that register and login words should be smaller, and should be on the right.

[Droolie]

I think that register and login words should be smaller, and should be on the right.

Yep, I thought so too. I already made it a little smaller. Should it be even more small? If so, how small?

I think the theme looks altogether good

Yeah, it does

[Jman]

Yeah, you did a good job fixing it. Maybe you should make the background image larger by giving it more stars.

[Droolie]

You mean making the banner next to your logo larger so your logo has a starry background? Yeah, I suppose I could do that ^^

[Jman]

It would look better I think.

If there is a way that you could make the star-y background loopable would also be good, because the forum stretches.

[Droolie]

Like this?
( it's updated )

[Jman]

Yes! You are amazing!

[Droolie]

Thanks
Little update -> Text color modifications are done! ^^
Image modifications will start now

[Jman]

Yeah, it's really little.

[Droolie]

Indeed. Anyway, now I've changed the background a little, it looks a lot more like the old PC ^^ The only problem is the border that surrounds the 'body' of the page. It just doesn't fit right. Is it too light? Well, I can't make it too dark either ( or just have no border ), because then the sun in the banner would be cut off

EDIT -> Border looks fine now. Jman, what did you say about the forum being stretched? I don't think that'd be because of the banner, because the banner is only set as background for your logo
Here's proof:

Code: Select all

#logodesc {
	margin-bottom: 0px;
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 25px;
        background:#000000 url(images/banner.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-position: top right;
        height: 200px;
}

And banner.png is the banner ( DUH )!

[Jman]

Yeah, the border looks like it is blue-ish, maybe maybe you could change the color.

[Droolie]

Yeah, the border looks like it is blue-ish, maybe maybe you could change the color.

Is it alright now?
Look at the edit of my previous post and tell me if the forum is still stretched

[Jman]

Oww, I liked the old border a lot.

[Droolie]

I did too, but sadly, with border-style set to groove or ridge the border's always too white

[Jman]

Yeah, but it needs to be there, because right below the logo is that bar thingy.

[Droolie]

... which I'll change

Anyway, the FTP server is acting strange again. Now I can't even login anymore -______-
Oh well, I guess I'll go to bed then. Soon.

[Jman]

When do you think that it will work again?

[Phoenixan]

I like that actually.
