Wow, that's an awesome theme! I'll definitely use it when it's published on the site.

Amazing work Mai! You did a great job, you really need to help out with other themes as well I'm sure we would all appreciate it because you clearly have mad skills.

Also; I can make some buttons for the theme. I think Final Fantasy crystals would look perfect there.

I think the category titles should be blue like they are on the preview. We can do green/yellow/blue for the Spirit Tracks/Skyward Sword theme.

@ the mad skills thing: Wow, I never actually considered myself to be super-good at this; in fact I taught myself entirely with dA journals; I actually had to ask a friend how to preview it tbh because I realized I'd never done it before without having an input box for it xD But I was already planning to get to work on the Golden Sun one once I finish this one :)

@buttons: That'd be good! here's a version of the banner that contains a palette for the colors I'm using elsewhere, in case you want to sample the colors I'm already using. I'll edit it once I know what green I'll be using for the titles

@Category titles: They will be blue, but I'm thinking of making them the darker blue instead of the lighter. If it doesn't look as good I can always change it back. Wait a minute, did you mean the board titles (i.e. "Announcements") or the category titles? (i.e. "General Stuff"). I actually think the blues I've used might be a bit hard to read against the gold, whereas a dark green that complements it might look really nice.

Also, I have two images made for the bars, so those will need to be hosted somewhere else for the long term before I can finalize the code. I might need to make a few changes still, so I'll send them when that's all that's left to do, okay?

Looks badass. Make the category titles green.

I agree with this, because actually right now due to one of the inconsistencies the shoutbox and board stats titles are both black, and personally I don't think it looks right.

Someone look at the Golden Sun Dark Dawn theme:

http://s1.zetaboards.com/Anemous_Playhouse/index/

I spent like half an hour on it and probably used way too much blue but I was bored. >.>

Oh and I only did the main page so far, I haven't taken a look at anything else and Wolfen will probably make something better but meh.

What other buttons do I need to make with the theme? I should probably make New Topics, Post Reply, Quote, Edit, and Profile buttons. Although I've never made anything like that before. Zidane could you help with that if need be?

@Andy: I'll see how they look, Andy, but I may need to tint them to be veeery slightly greener to match the other blues. Good idea though :) New Topic/Reply buttons probably wouldn't be too hard, but it might be better to just change the colors of the ones we already have. It's usually not a good idea in terms of interface design to change things around in different areas; new users might get confused if they switch themes (especially if we went and added new buttons to all the other themes). Ctrl-U in photoshop and the various selection tools would probably be pretty easy to use to get the job done, what do you think?

@Zidane: You must've already taken it down before I saw it, unfortunately :(

No I linked to my test board, go down to the theme chooser and change it to the Golden Sun one. Too much blue though, I might work on it tomorrow but I don't know.

Ah, I see it now. Yeah, I can see how easy it'd be to run into that problem xD
I started with the FF one mostly because I knew it'd be easier to work with; I don't back down from a challenge, though! (I just put it off a bit)
