Pining for the look and feel of the Geekhack of old? Give the "Nostalgia" theme a try!

The_Beast · « **Reply #1 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 00:27:52 »

It looks similar but isn't quite the same. The grays and blacks are too harsh, maybe lighten them up.

I'm not complaining, it's still better than whatever the default was

I matched the hex codes exactly to parts of the old forum (which I still have a static copy of). What's different is the layout and how/where the SMF default theme uses some of the colors. It's not exact, by any means, but it should help some people feel more at home.

I feel like there's a lot of wasted space on the sides. Otherwise A+!

Better?

Ahh, feeling like home again

funkymeeba · « **Reply #6 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 00:56:05 »

Ahh, that's much easier to look at. Thanks!

Much better! This should be default.

Glissant · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 12:10:47 »

This is more like it for me

. Thanks for setting it up!

terrpn · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 12:25:06 »

yea.........i'm liking it, but the "old logo" i was diggin more

the color scheme (old logo) matches this theme if i recall pretty good? this them seems to be a little easier to read i guess.

HOWEVER..........just happy to have GH back up and running so kudo's and thank you.

we know you're still tweakin...........

rknize · « **Reply #16 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:19:07 »

Switched logos. I'll put it to a vote. New or old logo for Nostalgic?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:19:28 »

I vote old!

reaper · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:20:32 »

Definitely old logo.

rknize · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:22:47 »

OK...that's too much orange again. I need to stop doing that.

rknize · « **Reply #20 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:25:11 »

You were right. The logo makes it real.

terrpn · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:32:00 »

Didn't realize you can change theme, switched to nostalgia but it doesn't feel like the old GH, I think I'm gonna stay on this new theme, all that white on DT messed up everything

Nostalgic with the logo from Thoriated:

That logo looks much better but why does text and forums look bigger on nostalgia?

rknize · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 14:38:18 »

I think someone changed the default template that these themes inherit from. I really didn't touch font sizes, except in the menu bar. Also, Firefox renders things larger than Chrome for some reason.

terrpn · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 14:56:05 »

i would think because the old template has the border around the outside pushing everything more center.

makes it a little busier imop, clashier i guess would be the verbage- but i'm sure it will be settled on what the majority wants.

Here's a simplification for it.

White on bright reddish orange does not go well with my eyes.

kimtj · « **Reply #32 on:** Mon, 23 July 2012, 07:31:19 »

Very nice!

Okita · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 24 July 2012, 18:11:49 »
