I must of tried out about 100 themes before ening up with this current one here it seemed some what impossible as I could not decide what to use.

When I would choose one somebody would suggest against it, anyways I managed to find one which is not completely terrible, I am sure some will suggest otherwise which is fine I would like some suggestions.

So based on the theme and even sections, would you think I could improve it somehow.

I was thinking about perhaps having the theme blue darker, so would be more navy blue rather than lighter.


Well, to begin with change this:

Honestly, it looks terrible, other than that, the theme looks fine Smile

If you made the logo fit more, and centered it in the header the theme would be great as it is Smile No need to change again Wink

Ha! yes I in fact developed that myself, however I'm not very experienced with designing lol. Thank you for the feedback Tom it's very appreciated.

Would you be able to possibly give me an idea on how to make the logo fit the theme, I know how to access it via the header template it's easy. I just need to find out exactly where to move it if that's ok. Smile
It's fine in the header, you just need to use a div to center it Smile

Find:
<div class="logo"><a href="http://yoursite.com/index.php"><img title="Forums" alt="Forums" src="http://yoursite.com/mybb/images/logo.gif"></a></div>
in your header template, and replace with:

<div class="logo"><div align="center"><a href="http://yoursite.com/mybb/index.php"><img title="Forums" alt="Forums" src="http://yoursite.com/mybb/images/logo.gif"></a></div></div>

Hi Tom

I can only see this at the top of the header:
Quote:<div class="header"><div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>

<div class="banner">

It's slightly different to the one you mentioned you see, so I am wary about editing until you let me know it's cool to do so. Smile

Yes, you need to wrap:

<div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>

in:
<div align="center">THECODE ABOVE</div>

Ah I see thank you very much for that Tom, so over all you think it's looking pretty good then. Smile
For me, your site already looks clean and I do feel it has or makes me feel of some simple but professional touch. At the moment, I don't think it needs any change. Smile

Wow thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it a lot. Good or bad as bad can be improved, good makes me feel good Wink
