Making a theme need suggestions

[greigeh]

If i'm being truthful with you, it is extremely cluttered and does not incorporate a straight forward user interface. It is very bulky in a sense, using large fonts and images. For those who use smaller sceen devices (e.g. iPad, Macbook (smaller screen versions)) etc will be bombarded with the large bulky blocks.

I understand the concept of the design, and I like it however you should continue to work on it to develop a more straight forward easy to use design.

The only thing I really like about it is the navigation as it touches about the more modern approach of web design. Nevertheless, I think it is the small things that matter - when hovering on a menu option I think you should atleast make the grey lines also blue when hovering on an item to make it appear more visually appealing.

Pretty sure I still have the files from this theme (or the one you were working on 1-2 years ago) on my laptop Ryan. The one's you lost and asked about.

Temp? PM them to me! =) I recovered most of that original theme im basing this design from, but its still not 100% how i had it back then.


and an update for everyone, ive been working on alot of stuff in pure html mainly stuff that will be for the header/nav and it should be incorperated into the theme within the next few days.

as for the comment about on smaller devices, this theme is designed with mobile users in mind and is to early in development for coming to the conclusions you have, I wont waist our time with spoiling things i have in mind. but just know it looks perfectly fine in mobile devices, and a hell of alot easier to see things without having to zoom than say a default vB
screenshot from my iPhone 5s and looks just as good in my 6+

Your themes look good but it's not for business.

Some parts need to re-edited

i.e font size of category is too big while font size for other parts need to be bigger...etc

Also it has more work for you to edit theme become like that.

******UPDATE******

things implemented but not complete:

-navbar
-notification bubbles
-color switcher
-search
-login/user panel
-mobile support
-IOS like password input

Guys I can handle the criticism but what I'm getting are reviews.... OF AN UNCOMPLETED THEME,
telling me things you think I dont know still need to be fixed DOES NOT help.

What I'm looking for are IDEAS / SUGGESTIONS / FEEDBACK.

So instead of saying

Some parts need to re-edited

i.e font size of category is too big while font size for other parts need to be bigger...etc

and PMing me dude you have colors that need to be changed, ect..

you could say things like:

It'd be cool if you did the layout like...
maybe you should consider resizing the titles on...
you should try to add....
I really like....

get the point... when I'm ready for a final review YOU WILL KNOW! then you can nit pick the little details.

another note on mobile -
I am trying to make this mobile friendly but, some things are easier than others when it comes to mobile and i may scratch the whole mobile bits and just do a separate mobile only skin, which seems more logical to me (and easier lol)

if i skip over stuff its because I consider it not too important (fine-detailing) I can finish at the end


and lastly some screenies of the updates (or just view it on the site)



and this is the IOS like passwords (shows last charecter for a set amount of time)
