Well done

Good work with this, and sorry I wasn’t much around to help out like I thought I would be.

I would shrink the header (use less vertical space) and remove the fancyness from it.. just simple single colour or something. Personal taste s’all.

Possibly the “Welcome to TeamIPX.net” content could be boxed with a white background (like the rest of the chrome) rather than looking just like a blog entry?

Header image

I have a source File for that i think
one of the theme’s we were playing with had a skinner mountains image as the header i might dig that up and give it a go.

Looking better

I prefer the plain blue title myself, and smaller again would be better.

#header {
background: #21213D no-repeat 50% 0%;
height: 120px;
padding-left: 15px;
}

#header-bottom {
margin: -47px auto 0px;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
z-index: 600;
}

That will make the header smaller.

Get rid of the <center></center> tags (that don’t work) and add the following style:

#node-77 h2 {
text-align: center;
}

should fix your problem there.

you already know wot i think about it robag

Big Thumbs up

looks good guys

but it is so bright it makes feel like putting sunglasses on. could just be me but is there any way to dim the background a bit more. I realise it is pretty much the same background as the live site but the absence of darker boarders makes it seem more bright.

I agree with chip

i dunt like the avatars on the right…
and the avatar fucks with the Polls
probably need a decent banner colour at the bottom
darken the text, and brighten the links
why does the Prod site span my whole 24 inch yet ive got GIANT banners on the testsite on either side

Bird in top banner looks like it needs to be fed… need to be larger and to the left

+1 – left works much better.

Prod site theme = fluid width
Waffles theme = fixed width.

That’s why fluid width was one of the first requirements we put on a new theme. We’ve ruled out all the decent fluid width themes though. (Pixture Reloaded was the last of them). So we either have to make do with a good fixed width, or stick with aurora. That’s the choice we face right now. Once waffles is as good as it gets, we should put a poll up – Aurora vs Waffles. They both have their positives and negatives, would be interesting to see what the majority think.

Fluid width

The waffles theme can easily be amended to be fluid layout.

@Robag: Find the following style rule

#page {
background-color: #F4F2F2;
margin: 0px auto;
max-width: 1290px;
width: 100%;
}

And remove the “max-width” directive.

The theme will now take up the entire browser width, with the main content area shrinking or growing to fill the space. The left and right sidebars will remain steady at their fixed width.

Lt – love your work. Don’t know what we’d do without you.

Fluid width

Applied that change, and it’s now fluid. What do we think?

Looks good to me.

TANK

Oh, and can we use TANK font for some headings or the banner etc?
