below is the original post:
--------------------------------
here it is one of my interfaces. i will post more and let you decide wich one should i choose as the default scheme.
for now let me know what you think about those 2. ;)
just be specific wich one you like better...

Other choices:
2nd interface (freaky blue) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?s=&postid=238537)

Below is my first interface, Teal Misery:

[Neo]

Nice looking. Its a smooth layout but I would suggest adding a little bit of color. But I do like it :bunny:

[TECK]

ya. it will have colors.. the logo and the table contents will have icons and graphs. should i put XP style icons?
hmm i cant upload any attachments??
You have already attached this image to a post. Please refrain from uploading duplicate images. If you need to refer to this image it can be found in this thread:no thread. i just got an database error before.. :(

[wooolF[RM]]

]good luck with your project :)

[Xanthine]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/19.gif Just center that top banner and it'll all be good :)

[TECK]

2nd interface - freaky blue ;)

[wooolF[RM]]

]that was much better! :D

[Xelation]

looks real nice, good job! :) can't wait to see the final product ;)

[TECK]

steveeeeeeee... smachol. just say it. dont only look. what is your oppinion? :D
i see you shaking that a**... shaking that a** (the song).. actually you are browsing the thread right now. :)

[Xanthine]

I like the 2nd one better.

[TECK]

isnt that to hard for the eyes? the teal one looks more relaxing.. not sure. let me know.

[Xanthine]

Well basically, I like the darker blue color more but I like the 2nd layout more. So a dark blue 2nd type layout :D

[Lanigironu]

I like those. Don't use XP-style icons though. I never really liked those to begin with.

[jamoss]

Ooooooooooooh! I like the blue scheme.

Do you hire out??? ;)

[DjSap]

like somebody else said you should use the freaky blue layout and have the Teal Misery colorscheme.

[TECK]

actually you are all right.. but. i think i will use some white simple design.. i came up with something simple and clean.. no more complicated stuff..... i will post a screenshot tonight.

And if you really think that will stop someone from stealing your template I have news for you... if someone really wanted it he could easily remove the text by pasting from other uncovered parts.

[wooolF[RM]]

there will be always lamers... nothing to do with it...

[mondaynightmike]

that looks like a wicked site. That will look really really good :) . Did you design everything yourself? also how long has it taken to get it set up like that?

[N9ne]

They're both awesome schemes, I can't decide which one but they're both brilliant! great work, keep it up!

[el3m3nt]

hmm.. looks nice, nakkid... but keep in mind.. that a page with alot of images isn't really comfortable to browse. i see it here on vb.org. the darkblue style uses much more images then the other two styles. thats why i use the green one :).

[Solice]

If you we're to apply the Teal Misery color scheme to the Freaky Blue layout I think it would look really nice. - which upon actually reading all the posts I see was already suggested^_^.

depends on peoples... I don't like green at all.. but I love blue one... :p

[TECK]

the final layout....
i went into a different direction. special thanks to my friend serenity (yes a girl who kick ass in html). :)

[DjSap]

very nice, though the left column seems to be very big...better off if it would be aroud 160pixels so that the forumbits would take up the most part of the page

[TECK]

trust me, is not.. when you see the forumbits layout.. you will understand. it looks really nice.. but some parts are not finished.. it's not gonna look anymore like the ole VB we all know.. :)
it will be more like an interactive web station. once i finish the main forums page, i will install vbHome.

btw, did you noticed? i use graphics, instead of numbers (1, 2, 3 online users and pms), they are dynamically updated. firefly, as usual, pulled some tricks on that and helped me out. another trick i did was the avatar improvement. if you dont have the avatar selected, instead of a noavatar image, it will show the usergroup image, in my case ADMIN.

i really want to finish the forumbits so you all see a general vue...

also my site will be fully powered by VB. in one directory. did you noticed also that the forumhome index.php is called now forums.php?

[DjSap]

yeah i do that also, change the index to forums.php, though a easier way to do that is by htaccess and make the visitor go to main.php or what you call it when he visits the site.

[Scott MacVicar]

My site is already completely integrated with vBulletin, well the user base and template system. The rest is provided by a couple more tables and a cms.

http://www.total-anime.com/index.php

[c-pr0mpt]

I like the new one much better than the original. Good job.

[TECK]

thanks c-prompt. i reserve to all the forumbits surprise.. :)
today,.. or tomorrow.

PPN, really nice. is that the site you show me a screenshot of your admin CP?

djsap.. i know about .htaccess... :) i dont like it. i moded all. install.php, vbulletin.style, etc so when i will go online with i will simply do one install and is done, no custom templates etc.

i made a little system that it allow me to edit the .style file (easier then through templates) then with one click everything is updated. ;)

[Admin]

nakkid, bear in mind that if you update the -1 templateset, all your templates will be deleted when you upgrade. If you don't touch that set, never mind. :)

[wooolF[RM]]

]2 much white for me... (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?s=&postid=240540 )

I'm more with gray/blue/red colors...

check my 2 flashes :)
http://www.wooolf.net/ (flash intro for my homepage [450Kb])
http://www.mpc.turbohost.net/flash (flash intro for MPC forums [900Kb])

[Admin]

Nice woolf, you've got some skills. :)
BTW why does all sites show me my IP address? Is that a new trend or something?

[wooolF[RM]]

]well... I was script kiddie once... ;)
I have this page about 5 years now and this IP thingy was there from the start :) So... maybe they ripped it from my page ;)

BTW, thanx for comments :)

[NTLDR]

Very nice design and layout there nakkid ;)

I look forward to seeing the forumbits, a great clean not overly complicated, yet impressive design. Good work :D

If you don't touch that set, never mind. :) i always edit vbulletin.style.. :) every time i add a new template to that file, i run this script that i added in template.php:// ###################### Start add masterset #######################
if ($action=="addmaster") {

doformheader("template","insertmaster");
maketableheader("Add master set");
//makeinputcode("File Name (.style)","filename");
makedescription("Adding the master set will not delete the custom templates.");
doformfooter("Save");
}

// ###################### Start insert masterset #######################
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="insertmaster") {

$filename="./vbulletin.style";

if (file_exists($filename)==0) {
$styletext="";
} else {
$filesize=filesize($filename);
$filenum=fopen($filename,"r");
$styletext=fread($filenum,$filesize);
fclose($filenum);
}

if ($styletext=="") {
echo "<p>Please ensure that the <b>$filename</b> file exists in the current directory.</p>";
exit;
}

$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM template WHERE templatesetid=-1 AND title<>'options'");
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM replacement WHERE replacementsetid=-1");

$stylebits=explode("|||",$styletext);

list($devnul,$styleversion)=each($stylebits);
list($devnul,$style[title])=each($stylebits);
list($devnul,$replacementset[title])=each($stylebits);
list($devnul,$templateset[title])=each($stylebits);

// installing master set
$style[styleid]=-1;
$style[userselect]=0;
$style[replacementsetid]=-1;
$style[templatesetid]=-1;

// get number of replacements and templates
list($devnull,$numreplacements)=each($stylebits);
list($devnull,$numtemplates)=each($stylebits);

$counter=0;
while ($counter++<$numreplacements) {
list($devnull,$findword)=each($stylebits);
list($devnull,$replaceword)=each($stylebits);
if (trim($findword)!="") {
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO replacement (replacementsetid,findword,replaceword) VALUES ($style[replacementsetid],'".addslashes($findword)."','".addslashes($replaceword)."')");
}
}

$counter=0;
while ($counter++<$numtemplates) {
list($devnull,$title)=each($stylebits);
list($devnull,$template)=each($stylebits);
if (trim($title)!="") {
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO template (templatesetid,title,template) VALUES ($style[templatesetid],'".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($template)."')");
}
}

echo "<p>Master set added</p>";
}if a new upgrade comes, i simply do a compare with araxis.. between the original 225 template set (not the one i always update) and 226 for example. in this way i see exacly what changes were done in templates.

i think this is the most elegant solution for keeping updated your templates with the new code. ;)

[Admin]

vbulletin.style can't really be compared since the tepmlates in it are not ordered...

[TECK]

so you tell me that the templates in 224 and 225 are not in the same order?? wierd. i thought all they do the devs is to edit that file.. or add at the bottom the code..

[Admin]

No, it's rebuilt for every release... the templated are edited in the Global Set in the Admin CP and then exported.

[TECK]

i'll be interested in this procedure. please give me more details.
thanks firefly.

[TECK]

the forumbits... ;)
almost final. still working to finalise the forumhome.

i have a bug with the number conversion. if anyone could give me a hand on this, it will be much apreciated. post a reply here:

So why did you misspell Tech anyway?

[r.cakir]

Nakkid, which font-style did you use for the "normal" text (not the graphics)? Looks great! :lick:

[TECK]
