^That also happens here, but I'm on my phone so...

Yep, a few of the buttons look kinda weird on phone. Hope that can be fixed, I'm liking this skin and it's cool new features \o/

I'll wait with using it until it's fixed. Looks neat, though.

 

 

Need to update the "chat" function and all, since irc.ipocalypse is gone. Not sure where the new Batoto chat is going to be. o_o

iPocalypse is still there, just rebranded as idlechat.

The Blue and white theme gives off a feeling of Batoto in my opinion, so in my opinion the colour combination is quite welcome, it is however too white/bright. And like some others I do not like the windows 8/touch feeling it emanates, as it reminds me of everything I disliked about this. (Being the sharp edges which gives of the feeling of the win8 'app screen')

 

This leads to me to a question, since Sylo is not supported in the latest IPB versions, is the theme 'Blood' supported?

The blue and white does really give the feel of Batoto. However probs wont be using this theme permanently until the fix for the navigation bar is fixed.

Yes, the blood theme is one of the newer, supported themes.

For those who keep complaining about the Chat button, just change the website zoom. This is a temporary solution though.


That's the problem with humans: they just sit around, hoping that someone will fix things. But no one will. No one cares.

Not a fan of the font on that skin.  The one used on the current Sylo looks better to me.   The color scheme is also overused a fair bit.  That being said, I do not know what requirements/changes are needed for the site and reader to be skinned properly.

 

Honestly I liked the old Deluxe skin, but I know you removed it because of security reasons.

It seems like I'm the only one that likes the new theme... (quite a lot, actually).

 

As for the issue with button on the nav bar, it can be easily solved with Grumpy resizing the #logo div to be a bit shorter. As long as it fits on 1360x768 screens, then it should fit on ~95% of screens made in the last 7 years or so.


My words are my own, and do not represent Batoto in any way, shape, or form unless otherwise stated in the post itself ^.^

Liking the new skin. Only complaint it the buttons up top are a little to big and are causing a second row to appear. Other then that, I found a new skin to use in place of deluxe.

I'll stick with Blood, the black background is better for reading :-)

I'll stick with Blood since it's too clear for my eyes but otherwise it's a good-looking skin, well done.

definitely not choosing this skin until you figure out how to use relative width on your site maker, or whatever you're using. it's bland and dull in color, impractical, and looks like a ten-year-old throwback. what's wrong with sylo and blood?

I don't like It very much either, It is not BAD BAD but I don't think you should make it default. 

 

Recently a user posted a custom CSS that looks very good in my opinion and I had an idea: could you make something like a contest were people send their custom CSS and the most voted gets added as an optional skin?

Here's a quick fix for the header buttons appearing on a second row. I'm sure it can be improved if I can find the Javascript that resizes div#logo (looks like that wasn't Javascript after all).
 
Add following css style to the <body> element:

min-width: 1500px;

Like I said, it's just a quick fix.
 
 
Edit:
Here's a somewhat better version:

#primary_nav {
    height: auto; /* instead of 110px */
}

Can be improved even further, but I'm going to sleep now.
