SC-BrushedBlue
 
Hello everyone!

Here I present you my very first vBulletin Style.
Since upgrading my forums to 3.5.1 I needed a new style but I wanted something original, something own and finally I came up with this.

I was aiming at something a bit eyecandy but yet easy to the eye.
(While keeping the blueish colors of the old style I had, since we got used to that)

Maybe you like it :)

Some features of this style that make it different to the default style:
  • Borders around categories on forumhome to better seperate them from each other
  • Completely new (redesigned) navigation bar
  • Complete new set of status icons (for forums, posts and PMs)
  • Complete new set of buttons
  • There's a seperator between the sticky and the "normal" threads
  • An additional navigation/breadcrumb bar at the bottom of threadview for easier navigation.
    (don't have to scroll to the top to go the a parent forum of the current thread)

Attached are some screenshots, but you can also preview it live on my own forums --> here <--

Every feedback is apreciated so that my next style may get better since I already have some nice ideas :)
Oh, and if you reall go to install my style let me know! ;)

First Skin...? get outta here... your obviously gonna make some very nice skins in the future! - I'll look forward to that so will many others im sure, im sure you don't need me giving you some advice, but i'll share some of the guidelines i use when i think about designing a skin for vB...

KISS, Keep it Stupid Simple! - I try to use very small (filesize) graphix to reduce bandwith overheads and as such i take this principle and apply that to the design, i think...how can i make something stylish with minimal fuss... either dark or light? (thats my first question) then start with the alt1, alt2 colours first which i spend time working out how they compliment each other...anyways, i've started to go towards designing skins which have an exisiting theme/influence on my design, my C64 skin is eveidence to that...next? maybe an Atari 2600 :) who knows.... nice skin btw!

looks nice. my users want a dark theme. Are u going to fully support this? Like when updates are released? if so, how long can we expect after a release from vb will we have to wait for an updated style from you?

I just noticed, is it only in fixed width or do u have 100% as well?

Hmm.... what exactely do you mean by "double navbar"?
A feature of your board, or a problem with my skin?
Can you give ma a screenshot about that? I'm sure we can get this worked out! :)

I'll try to do my best as my free time allows me :classic:
However since code MODs have become not so common since 3.5.1 chances are high that I also upgrade my own board, so I need an updated skin as well :D
There shouldn't be too much time between a new vB and an updated skin, denpends how quick I figure out what has to be fixed :)

As for the width:
It's not fixed as in 800px width, it's actually an 88% width.
But there's an additional .XML in the archive that has 100% width.
So you can choose wichever you like better :)
