Just installed a new site skin called Subway. I'll be changing this one to default later as Sylo was a temporary choice and it lacks the newer IPB features due to it being an old skin.

 

Will be testing it out for a bit before making it default. If you want to try it yourself or curious as to how it looks, just scroll all the way down and click change theme.

 

Sylo will still be available.

 

==========================

 

Update

Alright! It's the permanent new default skin now. If you want other versions, you can always login and select the skin version at the bottom of any page.

I like it... But can I bug tested now?

 

The position of the buttons:

That was what I first find, other that than, this skin is something special... Gives a refreshed feeling to the website.

Pretty sure the bottons on top depend on your screen, because mine is smaller i have 2 buttons going at 2nd row.

Oh, I like the new skin -- Quite a nice change from the classic blue Sylo. Feels a bit 'Metro'-ish in Windows 8.

Got this one too, I had to zoom out for the 'Chat' button to go inline with other buttons. (PC)

I forgot the term but I think its 'relative width' to make it responsive for different screens.

Something i noticed while using the new skin, the Footer utilities when you are at the comment section on a comic page cannot be seen (unless highlighted) because the font is white and also the background...

On 1360x768 resolution, the chat button is a bit intrusive as it appears under the rest of navigation bar.

Changed the theme, clicked around for a minute, changed back to Sylo. Please don't take it as an insult, but I'm just fed up with a felt 90% of the websites taking a redesign to a blue-white-grey, completely soulless theme that was obviously designed for touch interface compatibility. Everywhere I look I see the same basic design pattern. It bores me to death.

 

It's like every car manufacturer building the exact same car with the same colors, only slightly deviating in hue and the shapes of the lighting.

It's like somebody wrote a manifesto titled "this is what a modern website has to look like" and deviation from that manifesto is punishable by public execution.

 

So sorry if I sound harsh and I certainly do not want to slander the effort put into the new skin. I just wanted to give a reason why I pretty much instantly went "Nope!" on it.

 

PS: Just realized that my avatar pretty much perfectly reflects what I thought when looking at subway. Awesome Itami-dono is awesome. :D

It's clean, but very bland. The default font size for most text is too small. Those buttons at the top have got to change, though. Not all of us can afford a bajillion pixel wide monitor.

I like the new skin so far. It seems to keep the same general layout and feel of things. But yeah, I'm having the same problem with the 'chat' button getting pushed to another row. I have a 15.6" laptop, which is a fairly common size...in case you need it, it has that dumb 1366x768 resolution which is all you find with laptops in this price range...

It doesn't change automatically. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page. At the bottom left there should be several links. The one to the farthest left should say 'change theme.' Click on that and select 'Subway.'

Well everything works(no problem with anything and I guess is because I bigger screen?) fine with me, and I like when things look nice and clean(which is this skin).

When you said subway honestly I thought that this site will be overflowing with green lol (need more site with green, blue+white kinda overused don't you think ;) )
