And the vBulletin license goes to....
 

Alex 'DirectPixel' Yang.

Yes finally the vBulletin.org Style Contest is over now, and Alex' style made the race. It was a long competition, but we think it was worth the wait. So, everyone enjoy our new vBulletin.org default style with the styleid 13!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we present you vBulletin.org in Smooth Blue.

PS. We have still some design possibilities in the backhand, but we have to think about how to make them work with a few hacks we have planned as well ;)

very neat design there! it looks very cool! the designers have done a very good job :D

We think the same.

But we have to thank everyone who participated in our Style contest, it wasn't an easy descision :)

It looks nice, yet clean :p I'll stick with the default blue but nice work none the less

erm, that is the Default Blue :p

Ok then the old default blue :p

Why not just using the correct name? :p

A very good job, although bright color schemes aren't my taste, so I'll be sticking around dark blue as well.

Congrats. :up:

I lik eit but a few bits are out of place like the big vb.org txt in the bottom, but still nice for what it is :) sadly like a few folk have said its a little too bright and airy for me so i,ll be stickin to older styles. Still well done Alex

very nicely done, would love to see a darker version installed also :)

congratulations, awesome work :)

I'll use the Plain Green still i think.
Its ok..... at the bottom the "vBulletin.org" doesnt fit in. Neither does the light text on the light background. Im not 'digging' the clouds either, they just seem a bit "for the sake of it". Also dont understand why theres a full carrige return at the end of the footer though not needing. The rollovers im unsure off too. The line is a bit "for the sake of it" too... Also dont like the way that it goes from blue to white.

Else is alright though :) like the buttons.

the bottom vb.org is one of my favourite features. also could we get the version number back please :o

Congrats to winner, much thanks to members who joined the contest and everyone for being patient for a long time! :)

dont like. to bright and hurts me eyes, that blue to white needs doing away with because the white just looks so out of place and now the main page other then the header and footer looks basic and out of place.

i would actually agree with you on the main page looks overtly simplified and too portalisitc

i have just made a little edit to the design what you think?

I like it, personally I prefer lighter styles like this over the dark one's and must prefer full screen.

nice work

Very nice style, I dig the new blue :)

Very nice, I'll be sticking with the new style for a while.

Might take a little getting used to, but I'm all for change.. :)

very very nice style tho it's too bright since the background is absolute white...
congratulations to DirectPixel !
*isthereanychancesthatthisstylegoespublic?*

heres a edit with the table colours edited to what i personaly feel makes it alot more cleaner looking:

A marine blue style like that C.Birch would make most feel sea sick. :\

I don't think the style is going to be changed. ;)

Very smooth. I'll stick with the new design. :cool:

Congrats.

I will stick to Plain Green as blue makes me sick.

me likes ... simple and clean - no clutter

Is there any way to change the postbit? I prefer the new postbit.

c.birch i actually like the step from sky to white, i would've just prefered a darker version as light is bad for the eyes

I like this theme a lot. The only thing I would ask you to change is to put a few <br /> before the sig line.

Yeah, i expected that the Dark users here, would have complains ^^

As Mike said, we won't make any changes to the Style (apart from those we made already)
and maybe those which we have from the author but removed for now, to make it work with our hacks.

more br's before the sig?
k ;)

different postbit: nope :)

a darker version? Hmm, maybe with using the inherited style possibilities, we can think about that at another time...

colours clash a bit too much, the header looks out of place with the main content

Dark Blue stays my style

not really complaints just opinions, but thank you very much for considering a darker version as i would love to use it.

good job, nice style :0

Thanks, guys. :)

This version of the style was slightly different from what I had in mind, since the style XML file I sent them had a cleaner footer, and a differently-styled navbar and header.

Overall, it retains many of the original elements, but some things are still different. :)

Hmm, nope i didn't change the footer *gg*

But the navbar aso, is correct.
As said this are those things we keep in backhand, and may be adding later, regarding some navbar hacks and such ^^ (i know i'm lazy, but i also don't have the time right now ^^)

when you hover over the nav buttons they have a dark blue border and it looks out of place even more, is this supposed to be like this?

Well to me it looks like a re-vamp of the skin he made for extremepixels known as "Imagize", but overall a very nice skin, good work man :)

- Zero Tolerance

I don't like it, but that's me. Just keep the dark blue style. :)

I love it! Nicely done! :)

only the colours are the same... nothing else.


PS: it wasn't originally made fore extremepixels, vbskinz or whatever :)

omg thats hot, it makes me so so horny :D

I like it.
Congrats DirectPixel :)
