New look

Wow, seems the forums changed. I like the new look, but it's a little too white. Kinda hurts the eyes.

Yeah. My eyes hurt.

I like the new "Chrono Compendium" logo, though.

I guess I am the only one that has not complained about the new white background.  Ramsus said he wasn't going to change it, save maybe the forums...

I'm liking the design here--very classy and simple. I envy Ramsus for putting it together so nicely.

I like the new look it has elegance, I was lost on the main page due to the navigation menu being on the side not the top but that's just habit.


Whoa I just noticed the Kid at the base of the page, thought her skirt was missing for a sec.

The grayish background just added was an impeccable choice -- really breaks up the white so your eyeses don't get burned out.

There, took me a bit of playing around to get the post body looking right.

Hmm, It still looks good, towards the bottom of threads it cuts of rather sharp I think. The gradient is better on the eyes and the tiled look from post-to-post is pretty though.

There's nothing I'm going to do about that until I go about reskinning the entire forums one of these days.

After all, the current forum theme was designed for the old layout, and the new layout wasn't designed with it in mind, so the forum theme is kind of in this strange, bastard child position right now. However, it's good enough for the moment, so I'll leave it be for a while.

I want to say it looks wonderful Ramsus, I'm guessing the white was just too much for me when I woke up.

Like the background.

While on this topic I made a banner for the Compendium a while back.

If it needs fixing, lemme know.

Mostly what freaked me out was the sudden change of forum. It's nice, but I think there should be some way to change it back to the old way as a personal preference.

Nice desktop, btw.

Shadow, your banner doesn't look at all right. I can't seem to imagine it working with anything. I suggest revamping it totally.

I like it!  It's very pristine!
