Title: Rpg-d's New Look
Description: And?
ShinLi - February 20, 2008 02:20 PM (GMT)
Well I'm just curious, and I'ld like to know what you all think of the changes? Do you like the skin? The banner? General comments can be posted here too ^_^.

It's gorgeous! I saw the updated button on my site, got curious, and had to take a look - and wow, was I surprised! I love it! Everything looks great! :]

It's nice, I like the overall effect. Though, red may be a bit nasty to my morning eyes, but I'll live.
Note: In Fast Reply, the background is still white... div.tableborder needs a background colour I think... at least, that's what Firebug is telling me.
I heart Firebug. XD

Actually, I believe that's tablepad. Skinners are always forgetting about tablepad.... :sweat:
ShinLi - February 20, 2008 03:38 PM (GMT)
Owh yes I see it, I'll have a look in the coding ^^. Thanks for noticing that!
Nirinia - February 20, 2008 04:11 PM (GMT)
My initial reaction was "did I not just type Rpg-d?", but now that I have registered the fact, it is a lovely skin.
.Ra - February 20, 2008 04:21 PM (GMT)
I think it looks amazing! At first I did a double take but really it looks great.
I offer a round of applause to the staff and everyone who worked on it!
Keijukainen - February 20, 2008 04:48 PM (GMT)
Excellent change of colour scheme. It's nice to not have to highlight everything I want to read because the text is too light.
Points for the skin.
Angel-girl - February 20, 2008 04:56 PM (GMT)
It looks lovely! Well done everyone!
Panda - February 20, 2008 05:02 PM (GMT)
Hihihi, actually this will be easier on my morning eyes ^_^ Now if I want to blind myself I'll have to log into my own RPG. Damn!
;)
I'm so glad you went for drastic change, this is lovely!

I was on another site and I saw that hte RPG-D button had changed, so I raced over to see the new stuff. It looks totally neat, I must say. I like it--especially since we had the last skin for two years or something like that. With variations, but still.
And who the hell did the banner? It's freaking awesome.

I think ShinLi did the banner...

Oh, another note on the graphics: maybe you could try making the staff pips a little more uniform. Like same color as the name colors.
Roswenth - February 20, 2008 05:23 PM (GMT)
I personally like them matching the sidebar images and being rather unobtrusive.

Yeah, I see that now and I agree. But it still looks like it says "JUDEX" and not "INDEX."

I thought the exact same thing. xD
But, yeah, I love the new skin. :]
The old one sort of bugged me because the font colour and post background colours were sort of similar, but now it's a lot easier to read. xP
And I <3 the maintitle. :]
The Fox In Socks - February 20, 2008 05:53 PM (GMT)
Ohhh I absolutely love the new look, it's too cute!!
Hehe, and yeah I thought it was "Judex" at first as well!!! xD
elphie49 - February 20, 2008 06:07 PM (GMT)
I love it so muchly! It's beautiful. ^_^
Squirt - February 20, 2008 08:15 PM (GMT)
I love this! It's really nifty. :D
rosalieart - February 20, 2008 08:17 PM (GMT)
well, someone's already said about the fast reply, but that's not big. i like it quite a bit, though the background yellow is a bit bright in my opinion, perhaps more of a goldenrod rather than a sunshine would help, but i really like it over all. :):):) <3
Shadow of the Rain - February 20, 2008 08:31 PM (GMT)
I ADORE the new skin! It's so pretty! And am I just being forgetful or did we get a new onigiri smilie?
--> :rice:
Horsecrzy721 - February 20, 2008 08:40 PM (GMT)
Hmm.. I'm pretty sure that was there to begin with. Maybe it just wasn't clickable when those were introduced... Not sure.
Rhi-Rhi - February 20, 2008 08:43 PM (GMT)
xD I have no idea where this "Index"/"Judex" thing is that everyone keeps mentioning! xD
But ohhh, I love the layout! I already said that in the other thread, I know, but...LOVE!
Roswenth - February 20, 2008 08:44 PM (GMT)
It's the "I" in my team icon...and that has to do with the font, not the color of it. It is a proper calligraphy "i", though.

Haha. I did the exact same thing. It looks gorgeous, love the new button, banner, graphics, and skin! :)
Yoshitsune - February 20, 2008 09:17 PM (GMT)
Oh, RPG-D is trendy now, I see! :o
Well, I'd like white better than yellow but is awesome anyway ^_^ kinda liked the banner!
Sunday - February 20, 2008 09:23 PM (GMT)
When I logged into RPG-D, I thought I'd clicked the link to my site... and I freaked out at first because I thought we'd been hacked and someone had changed my layout. LOL. Phew!
I like it; the layout is really cute and unique. =] It's great to have a new layout; it'll take some getting used to, but it's great to keep things fresh, lol. <3
The one thing that's bugging me is that it takes a while for each page to load, I guess because this layout is a bit more image heavy? Or maybe it's just my browser/PC. Either way, it's a pretty insignificant thing. :p
Horsecrzy721 - February 20, 2008 09:29 PM (GMT)
It's more than likely all of the new graphics. They have to register in people's cache and sometimes that can cause things to slow down. Also, yea, the layout is a bit big, we're working on condensing and separating hopefully. We're nowhere NEAR some boards though XD.
ShinLi - February 20, 2008 09:30 PM (GMT)
The emoticons were already here, for ages XD, they weren't clickable though. And yes the banner was made by me ^^.
Also there isn't much we can change about the skin, because the skin is not ours, it's made by Kintesh of IDS. We have asked to pull up the skin a bit at the top so there isn't a big red space at the top, so we hope to get a pm back about that soon on another forum.
I'm really happy you guys like it so far!
Horsecrzy721 - February 20, 2008 09:33 PM (GMT)
-is pretty sure we already pulled the top of the forum up...-
But yea. I knew they were always there, but at one point when they were new they were clickable. Maybe it just wasn't on that list at the time was what I was going for XD
Ezzelin - February 20, 2008 09:34 PM (GMT)
The red-green-yellow look is surprisingly eye friendly. I am impressed.

I hadn't even noticed that in the first place. Gosh darn it, now I see it every time I refresh the page. >_<
Emuerz - February 20, 2008 09:52 PM (GMT)
I checked compulsively this morning before school but had to leave before it was all put up. xD
I LOVE it. I really like the colour red, and the parchment'y beigey'yellow-white colour is also quite striking against the yellow. The teal in the font in the graphics is nice too; though I'll have to practice reading calligraphy again! Haha.
I must say, I wasn't anticipating the sidebar, but I do like it. My monitor is rather huge so it looks a tad amusing all squished in the middle, but most forums do that, so it's quite alright, and still looks great. And to echo Darth Makar, the header is absolutely fantabulous, kudos to ShinLi there! xD Actually, kudos to everyone who helped with the revamp... it's quite amazing. I love that I can actually read what I'm typing here now; I never could read it since I have terrible eyes and the background and font were so similar... major woot for the contrast!
xmorbidxxdreamsx - February 20, 2008 09:54 PM (GMT)
I really love the colors! It's something completely different from the all the old skins and it's refreshing to see something new [not that i didn't like the old skins].
I still stand by what I said in the member color thread. I like shinli's green! -tempted to stalk her because of the color- :p
Tenkai - February 20, 2008 10:00 PM (GMT)
One thing I like is definitely the sidebar. I was not expecting to see one (seeing as there was an announcement box) but it is nice that te sidebar is somewhat filled (and not plain) ya know?
Though I think the portal looks a bit iffy. Maybe more work could be done to the portal somehow? It would be nice to see the portal looking up to par as the main forum (even if some thinks it isn't as important)...
Anyways I like this daring change LOL
:3
*Tenkai hearts the skin!*
vheissu - February 20, 2008 10:06 PM (GMT)
gorgeous skin! wow...this really cheers me up lol
BabyFaith18 - February 20, 2008 11:59 PM (GMT)
Although the skin is VERY different, I love it!
Its really cute and I love the colors ^_^
Great job Staff!
Ayveigh - February 21, 2008 01:12 AM (GMT)
I think it's gorgeous. I love red and turquoise together.. oddly enough, I'm reskinning one of my forums in the same colors right now ><
The only issue I have with it, and I'm not sure if anyone's pointed it out yet, but the banner says "The place for al your RPG related needs," not "ALL your RPG-related needs." I may just be anal, but that's one of the first things I noticed.
Darth Makar - February 21, 2008 01:45 AM (GMT)
Oh yeah. Because "RPG related" is a compound adjective of "needs," it should be "RPG-related."
Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have my grammar book with me right now.
Ayveigh - February 21, 2008 01:51 AM (GMT)
Well, it's not just that. "All" has a typo. There's only one L on the banner where there should be two.
