Nothing worth having in life comes easy

I really wanted to test how "good" I am at making a theme for ZetaBoards, and since the only theme I've ever finished was made exclusively for a forum, and used only for about 2 weeks, I thought I may as well try to make something which may actually get used. As you can probably guess from the title of the skin, it's a winter-based theme. Hopefully the name has never been used before as I suck at thinking of names and I thought this was an okay name for it.

I don't actually have the internet at home, and on weekends I go to my grandparents - which is the only time I get to work on themes. I really wanted to get this theme done, so I copied the ZB CSS and the index-page HTML to skin. I'll be working on other parts of the theme/skin/whatever you want to call it later.

That's very good so far, Kieran. ^_^ Just one thing, I don't feel the h2 text attracts enough attention. The c_forum link is much more eye-catching right now and it should be the other way around. Try making it a bit larger and maybe bolding it.

It's very nice though. Do finish it and release. ^_^

Thanks, s-k. I do see what you mean; I've dulled down the .c_forum link, and I've made the h2 text bold and darker. I should think that's better.

I think that a thin strip of mid blue (the same as the forum markers) just at the top of the h2 could add that little bit of contrast this theme seems to lack.
Either way, it's much better than what I was working on. :P

Yeah I recoloured the ones that I made for ZBNB. I'll probably make some new ones at some point.

H2 blends in too much with the description boxes for me. Other than that, great job. ^_^

Thanks Arianna.

As for the "blending in" thing, I haven't used a darker blue properly anywhere else in the theme, so a darker colour would look a bit off.

Everything sort of just flows together; the borders need more contrast to help make areas of the theme more distinctive. Add something to indicate the difference between the forum links and the forum link hovers; if there is something at the moment, I can't quite see it. x_x

It's a nice theme, good job. :)

Contrary to s-k, I feel the h2 text is slightly too dark. :P
But that's just my opinion. Otherwise, this looks really smooth and clean. Hope to see it released. xD
