  1. 3.0 Theme Design Suggestions

    #1
    I will confess as often as you want that I am not designer. Formatting, color, linkage, etc.
    So needed a place to save the things I am trying to figure out to make a better default theme.

    http://www.degraeve.com/color-palette/index.php  - Takes a picture and tells you the palette. This might help get a nice batch of colors.
    http://www.colorhunter.com/ - another one like that

    http://kuler.adobe.com/ - Suggested color pairings. Can search on a color you want to use and see what others have put with it.
    http://www.easyrgb.com Another one if you have a base color you want to use, gives options to use with it.

    Basically I need help and if you are artistically coherent, you can most definitely help define the Citadel's look.

    (Val, yes, will have a graphicless version this weekend. Redoing the CSS today so I can more easily fix it in the future)

    So what if I have some issues with the way the pages are laid out, or the formatting/size of the text? I'm technical as a tit with computer scripting and programming.

    I am happy to accommodate ANY reasonable request. I actually depend on the feedback to make sure that I am on the right track. Since you are one of the heavy users, you will have a knack for what is working or not.

    If you give me a list of things you want changed, I will do my best to make them happen!

    I won't get offended at all so go to town on it!!

    Hey strolen, Could I make a suggestion: use a darker background for headers. The lighter backgrounds are a little bit jarring, especially on the front page. Perhaps it would look better in #433  or #542, or something. Of course, the text would have to be changed accordingly.

    just my ?0.02
