just another fan: Everything looks great but the bottom area below the header is a bit strong. You might want to have the gray blend into the green a bit more, It sticks out a bit. Everything else looks great, nice job!

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

Yeah, I agree with Sniper. Very nice job though JAF.
Also: Tru7h and Reconciliation theme

*Note: Wanted the theme to look like the old Tru7h and Reconciliation site

"And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former
master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can
to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this
will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions. But I
would have my masters know that I have changed. And you shall
be my example." -Mendicant Bias

All very nice themes, I may give one a shot myself when a theme builder is released, at the moment I get quite bored when I'm stuck at home so having something to preoccupy myself is always good.

On a side note, Duardo, like the Firefox/IE theme, it's modern, much more sleet than the current one I'm using. Would you mind linking me to the file?

I hope you guys understand the theme builder isn't an application right? It's just a html and css files. It would actually do any of the work for you...

Yep, I have that too. I'll send you a psd with all the images in it.

I've changed the group header a bit, is this better?

How is this for a forum header?

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Haha, yea; that's the main reason why I wanted to show the rest of it. I wasn't too sure about the white being at the bottom because I knew it would look weird when viewed fully. Anyway, here is the one I've been playing with. I kept a very, nearly unnoticeable white area by the feet to keep the idea that the picture is fading way without actually doing so. It's drastically less than the last image.

Also, thanks for the help Duardo, I greatly appreciate it.
You are entirely welcome.

Here's what I had in mind. Dunno if you want to do that. It is your theme.

That's what I wanted to go for, exactly. How exactly did you do that Duardo?

JAF: That looks great. Love how the images work together.
Duardo: I love it. My only complaint is that the blue just seems too much 'in your face'. I can understand that though since you are basically adapting an old Truth and Reconciliation theme.

I've been wanting to do something more simple, and decided to go with the Seventh Column with a background of a virus. What do you think? I'm open to all crticism.

Idea 1 I realized the black is too much, maybe I'll fix that. Light/dark gray will work, right?

Group header or sidebar picture, idk.

yeah...I know it's too blue...I couldn't think of anything to add to it, and I wanted to keep the "old skool" look. I like it though. :)

I cut out the bottom part, then pasted it onto a new layer. I then changed the foreground color to match the gray on the forums (I used the eyedropper tool). I then went to blending options and down to gradient overlay. I changed the gradient to the second one (where it's the foreground color and clear), changed the angle and scale a little bit, then changed the blend mode to "multiply."

Crimson ScubaIt's a little too white for my taste. It's also hard to see the detail in it. I'd try seeing how it would look on a home page (in photoshop) and seeing what you can do with it.

bombsmbI like the first one. A little too dark as you said, and the "test" and "news" bars need top be pushed up. The group theme font is ugly, try another one. Also, you should actually put it on the image. Make it black too.

2nd one is cool, but i don't see where you would put it (perhaps a right sidebar?)

I used JAF's Abuse layout as a template, and a desktop wallpaper I created the other day as the background. If you guys like what I have so far, I'll expand on the design by adding themed text and things of that nature. :)

Finish The Fight Theme.

Maybe stosh should just say which one's he's gotten so far...then everyone can quit asking. Also, did you get my theme? :D

Here's the preview for my theme, entitled "Last Man Standing"

[IMAGE]

Please note that it is not photoshopped, that is an HTML page with a few minor modifications to the CSS files.

All feedback is greatly appreciated, and I'm still working on the forum image.

When I get home today I think I'm going to redo the grid (it might be hard to see on the preview, but there is a grid there and not just a gradient, it's just too light right now) on Last Man Standing, and also work on an "Old School" theme. I have some images saved from my old Bungie account, and archive.org helps as well :)
