New theme

You guys can try using this theme. It can be set per-user. Go to Profile -> Forum Profile -> Modify Profile -> Look and Layout -> Current Theme -> (change) -> Find the "Black Box 2.0" theme -> click on "Use this theme". You can also preview it.

You can also choose from any of the themes listed on this page

Liking the blackbox theme the best. Goes well.

Here's an idea i just thought... if we can decide on a default theme (votes?) then use parts of the css style to spice up the homepage?

I looked at the love theme.. was like



And then I thought..

why not a select number of themes in a specific location?

People can choose the theme they want for their computer only.

People show up, see a 'Change Theme' link, blahblah, and then they're happy.

As you may have noticed, all themes have a logo. We should have a MH logo. We had one, made by Windecker, but I lost it at some point, so we need to either get that one back, or make a new one. It should say Mapping Hell in text, but with a fancy hell font.

Also, we'll need to add some lava and maybe some demons to the Black Box theme if that will be the final default.

As for the homepage, we'll do that after we finish with the forum theme.

Can you have a different icon for each sub-forum?
Could use the game logos (Sauer, RE, Tesseract, etc) instead of these:

By the way, this could work; adds a bit more colour:

Good idea. I'm looking into it.

There is a mod that can do this, or at least give a starting point. It's pretty lame but I'm leaving the link as a bookmark for later. http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=511

Generally, modifications should be applied after the theme is chosen, because the theme code itself needs to be modified.
