Hello friends! After a loonngg absence from the vB scene, I'm getting back in it and have a new design about 90% completed. Love to hear what everyone thinks of it so far :)

Peachy Keen Style (http://audentio.com/demo/vb4/forum.php?styleid=3)

Your link doesn't go straight to the Peachy Keen style - it is showing the default vB style right now. :)

I like how you've carried the cloud theme - light on top, shadowed on the bottom and also little 'floating' boxes - throughout the site style. I also like what you did with the notices. The green strips above the forums seem a bit too green to me, but that may be because I'm just not crazy about the color green to start with!

Oh, 1 SMALL design flaw, the "Remember Me" text under the login area should probably be a different color since it's a little hard to see

Thanks, I thought for sure I had the style link in there, but guess not lol. Thanks for the comments so far, there are indeed still some items here and there to skin before this one is completed.

Really nice. Is there only the fixed width version ?

It look a bit cramped on my widescreen monitor. I prefer styles that fill my screen.

Thanks Paul! Right now there is only the fixed width version. The original version of this style has an advert block in the center below the header along with a space for the logged in user's info that wouldn't expand properly and still look good. That element still needs to be coded into the design and once it is, you'll see what I'm talking about. We may code a version that leaves that feature out and if we do, then it most likely will be a fluid version as well.

Looks really good John, though I'd actually prefer the peachykeen on the xenForo platform LOL
Nice to see you back doing your vBThang though ;)

WHOA!!! Are you planning to do anything with the forum sidebars and the cms?
It's impressive now as it sits but I think if the sidebar blocks followed the top and bottom color scheme it would add something to it. Same for the cms widgets.
Final question is, are you planning to share or sell that theme? I'm flat broke so I sure hope it's share. I'd take it just like it sits right now if share is the case. 4.1.2

It will definitely be a Premium style when it is finished.

Most likely what you see now on the forumhome page is what it will be when released. ;)

Not to worry, I'm sure once we get settled back into vB4 there will be some freebies come along. ;)

Peachy is coming along nicely, just some minor areas to touch up (Profiles mostly).
