Gameroom-oriented Forum Style

**TinCow** · 08-11-2011, 23:46

A new forum style is now available for use. It is called Morbid and can be found with the style browser in the bottom left hand corner of any forum page, or by clicking here. This style is mainly designed for patrons of the Gameroom, since there are a fair number of you now who have never been Total War fans and are only here for the totally awesome mafia games.

This style emphasizes clean lines and simple readability, so you no longer have as much of an excuse to avoid ATPG's Wall-O-Text(TM) posts. Give it a try and let us know what you think. If you notice any bugs, or things that look odd or are hard to use, please post in this thread so we can get them fixed.

Custom icons have been included with this style to give it some flavor. The ammo was used because of the number of mafia games that go on back here, plus I just thought they looked cool. The forum icons should be relatively self-explanatory, but the thread icons might not be completely intuitive, so I shall give a brief rundown of what they mean just in case.

Similarly, if a thread is locked, a small lock icon will appear in the bottom right of the icon, like this:

Looks good. Will test it for a day at least.

I like it, though I'm not sure how it's supposed to enhance readability. But I can comprehend the thread icons a lot better than the Shogun ones I was using.

Thank you!
