I think your just getting mixed up with his style Zero Tolerance... usually blues and have 'smoothened' clouds. Each artist has his own gimmicks that they put into each style and thats Alex's.

ya ya... just tell the last 680 Million people always on 600x800 to get to 1024...

Or make the design fit all resolutions like a designer is supposed to do.

I don't like this design at all lol. It's the default design with a new header, new colors, and new buttons. It's not that hard to make something like this. I would have liked to see something more complex, with actual code changes to make the forum more unique.

i didn't know monitors still went below 800*600 anymore :o

pretty sure most pre-made comps are shipped set to 1024*768 though :shrug:

i don't think the goal was to revolutionalize the design of vB, but simply have a different spice for this site... the clean clear and crisp design of the header is good... very professional, easy to read, and easy to locate any button...

for the width etc, it sure is a question of monitors, as designers are supposed to deal with all the users, not the monitor of the designer... 80% of the people on the internet are at a 800x600 of resolution, not 1024+ ... most users with higher resolutions are gamers, designers, graphists... and that's logical... internet is more a place of documentation, and if you read a load of text in 1024, you have to make the text bigger to read it...

the count of about 680 millions of surfers using 800x600 is based on the last "i2" statistic about all the european/american users of internet... it is not counting the asians, so imagine... ;)

even your browsers open their default window at 800x600... mozilla, IE, Safari... with you have no prefs, first window to open is at 760pixels wide...

Also the buttons remind me of a vBpanel design. Complex I agree, but you dont need to make code changes to make it complex. Just design.

I disagree. vBulletin.org, being the biggest vBulletin resource site on the web, should showcase what vBulletin can really do.

Hope you guys dont mind I did a little remix, as in my own take of the style :). If its like feel free to take :)

It's a hacking site, vBT should be showcasing a heavily modified skin. :p

Anyways, Love the buttons/icons. The rest looks like the foundation of imagize.
