Faddah Style
 

Hello :)

Faddah is an Arabic word which means "Silver" and I used this word as a ttitle for this skin because I used silver color as the main color in the design.

The skin is a fixed skin with Google Adsense added to both header and footer along with a scrolling text marquee and the login area added to the header.

I hope you like it ;)



Skin Colors:

Silver, Dark Blue, Dark Purple and light blue



Skin Design:

- Header design

- Footer Design

- Buttons Design

- Status Icons Design

- Gradients Design


Code Changes:

- Adsense added to both header and footer

- Login and PM area added to the header and removed from the navbar template.

- A marquee has been added to the header

- Extra buttons for arcades, gallery and store have been added to the header.



Zip File Content:


-FH_Faddah folder : Style images folder (upload)

-FH_Faddah.xml file : import this through your admincp

-PSD files folder : Layer psd files for the style (not to be uploaded)

-logo Folder : contains empty logo pic to place your logo on. After placing your logo on this pic, upload it to forums/images/FH_Faddah
(note: don't change the pic name or it will not show)

Excellent skin!

God job, egtrix!

Many thanks Dark Cloud and bubble-gum, very glad that you like it. This skin took much effort from me but your replies make it worth this effort :)

Seriously that is nothing short of stunning, nice job mate.

Oh my gosh...I absolutely love it! I have only one skin on my site, but would definitely consider this one for the future :D Thanks for your hard work on it.

PtP , your words are pushing the energy back to my veins to make a new one, lol. Many thanks :)
FLMom, many thanks for your very nice words and I hope to see it on your forum soon ;)

Oh my goodness ~ now that is a verrrrrrrrrrrrry nice style!! I would love to use that!!

You're incredibly talented! :D Thanks for sharing this ~ I shall try and upload it.

I have on style that constatnly gets messed up when I upload or make changes, but I think I understand how to fix it (at least I hope so) ~ I'll be back with a link when I upload it successfully ;)

yumyumcat, many thanks for your very sweet comment and please let me know when you upload the skin ;)

fantastic style m8
installed :)

hey nasser m8 :) , very glad that you like it and many thanks for your comment :)

Again, very nice style, Egtrix!

hey Dan, really glad that you like it. I know that you prefer fluid width skins, but there is one on the way ;)

I really like your new style, but feel it would be greatly imporved if it used Post and Thread Icons which matched the icons for Post New Thread and Post Reply, rather than the somewhat lame default icons from v3.5. Everything else is strong and stylish, but those default icons create a glaring contrast to everything else fresh and new.

Please consider this more of a wish list, than an effort to criticize your very well done concept. Over all, I like what you've done very much and appreciate your efforts and that you are sharing them here.

Maybe it will be an impitus for me to try to create some icons for myself.

Regards,

Slappy, many thanks for your openion and I really apreciate it. You are probably right about the icons issue, but I have to say that it's a matter of time, because I don't do a design in 2 or 3 hours like some designers do. This design took 3 days and not less than 20 hours of work. I made a lot of designs and I didn't like them so I did start over again and again till I reached a good design.
Anyway, I will try to have a full set of icons done for upcoming skins.
Thanks ;)

Again I appreciate your effort and should learn how to do some of this myself. It was just such a sharp contrast to the other images, which really stand out and are well designed.

I've looked at alot of designs on the net and this is one of the more distinctive I've seen is its clean lines and styling. It's quite obvious you spent good productive time in development.

I am running a copy of the style on my home test forum and so far have not found a way to log out. Am I missing something or is there no log out button hiding somewhere? I know I can add a button and the code back in. Just wanted to make sure I'm not just failing to recognizing it.

If you care to take the time, I would be interested to know what design tools you used to make the style. Did you originally create the Header in Photoshop or did you use some other tool or tools?

Regards,

Many thanks gain slappy for your feedback. As for the logout button, I usually don't add a logout button to my designs unless required. As for the design, yes I did create the header using Photoshop, PhotoImpact and Illustrator. And I've attached the PSD file within the zip style file. I even sometimes use 3D Studio or Maya if needed, in order to create a good looking shape or to do some effects. Mixing these tools in working in one design always give a new and good looking design.
I'm really glad that you like my work and here's my new upcoming style:

It's not yet complete but I hope that you will like it too
Thank you

Hi egtrix:

Thanks for the feedback. I had taken a look at your PSD file in Photoshop and am attempting to analize some of the techniques for construction of such designs and share your "time permitting" constraints. I'm still at "Step One" in the learning curve on these subjects.

I took a look at your new unfinished design and like the texture in the Header and the round corners on the forums. I've actually looked through all of the styles on your site and believe your Faddah Style is by far the most striking. But then such opinions are reflections of one's personal taste and preferrence and one persons "favorite" may be someone else's "eyesore." Faddah remains one of the two I've seen that I like the best out of all the styles that I have so far seen.

Regards,

Hello slappy,
I'm really glad to hear that. As for my designs that I have on DesignersForums.net, most of them are just concepts that I designed and I didn't like. So I have no intention to release them and it's same here, I do prefer Faddah style more than any one I designed earlier and I feel it's more professional. And I might release another version of it with extra addons and options.
Anyway, I will be always glad to discuss your openion regarding my designs and thanks for your feedbacks.
Best Regards

Hi and congratulations on your skin, it is very very good.

Can you please advise me how to add/change a link when I alter the banners.

Im probably being thick but please let me know.

Also, is there any way in which you can have the picture of the world revolving. Not that im asking too much ;)

Hello MoveOver.cc, many thanks for your post and glad that you like Faddah Style.
All you have to do to alter the banner is to:
1. Go to your Style manager in the adminCP
2. Edit the header template for Faddah Style
3. Search for the following lines
4. Replace them with your banner code
And that's all
Also you can even use a banner rotator if you want to show more than one banner.

As for the world pic, unfortunately this is a two dimensional pic, so it's not possible at the moment to animate it.
But I think I will release another version of this style soon with an animated globe pic instead of the current one.
Thanks again :)

Version 2 has now been released fixing a bug in the "Last Post"cell width at forum home

How can i change the name of the skin to my site name?

Hello Enigma,
Thanks for your post, I don't really understand your question but I want to let you know that I've added an empty logo image with the skin, so you can add your own logo or forum name.
Thanks again :)

Hi again,

Could you please advise how I can make the width of the page wider so it stretches the whole screen.

thanks

There are two kinds of skins, fluid skins, which can be stretched to fill the whole page, and fixed skins which can't be stretched. Faddah Style is a fixed style.
Thanks :)

WOW, love this skin, one of the best i have seen around

Well done guys

Many thanks for your post and really glad that you like it :)
