You will rarely ever find a theme that is *perfect*. However, you need to find a theme that is as close to perfect as possible and modifiable so you can add what it does not have.

However, I don't think it would be a good fit for dotTech in its current form. Too many missing elements.

I like it! I also like this new wider forum… it's almost beckoning for more text!

Yep, it looks good. Easy on the eye. And I also like the wider forums. Nice job, Ashraf.

 

I agree with both of you. The enlarged and restyled Forums feel a lot more inviting and make you feel more inclined to write more. They also make it so you don't need to scroll as much to read long paragraphs any more – which is always a bonus. Personally, I get tired of reading if I notice that a page is quite long.

 

Is it just me though, or does the new Forum theme kinda feel similar to a default phpBB look? Not that I mind – I like clean, smooth layouts.

for me it's always content that wins ...if it looks pretty it's a bonus !

...anything except yellow on cyan works  for me!

and Yes Laughthis is better Coolbut even though I've only been geeking at pc screens for a couple of years I certainly notice that the brighter the background on the screen the more my eyes become grainy and strained after just 20-30minutes.

 

I have had to resort to dimming the monitor screen to protect my sight

 

It generally doesn't matter what the colour of the font is, just too much bright white hurts after a while.Cool

perhaps 1 or 2 colors would help. not many but just a few for the eyes.

its been a while since i came here, but i think this looks better compared to the other one, although the other one looked better visually.

 however,i believe that the site is not done yet but so far the backround is much more better.. it gives a better feel.

However, to my admittedly picky eyes, I did notice that it is still white in between the various forum sections.

The forums are a little odd, but there's nothing to be done about that.
