![]() Our feature this week is a theme print submitted to the Showcase forum from a fairly fresh face to this community. This print borrows inspiration from the blog format and brings it to forum design in a simple, yet well-ordered way. Excuse Moi Theme Print by Lighty. . Info at a Glance: Artist in charge: Lighty. Date submitted: May 15, 2011 Posted Where?: Board/Web Design Submission Topic Type of Graphic: Theme Print.A charming design that is reminiscent of the page layout style often seen on blogs. Its not always easy to break out of the expected forms and formats for message board themes, but this design accomplishes it in a simple, fresh way. Vivid color and high contrast gives some drama to the clean lines, and the stack of paper that composes the background lends it some whimsy. Lighty admits that she doesn't code her own prints, but it looks like a volunteer might be stepping up to do this one. Lightfire: Looks amazing, it'd be awesome if you could code this somehow. Cory: It's very unique and clean, but I bet it would be tough to code. Helena: That's a very fun design. .... What do you think? Would you like to see this design coded and released?

I definitely agree that it should be coded, it's extremely well done in my opinion. |

It's one of the most unique designs I've ever seen for a forum, it's nice to see that Pando is coding it. Hopefully it'll be released to the public. |

I guess it could be useful if others want to use a similar complex theme but other than stripping it for coding, I can't imagine this getting much use. It's a decent design that requires complex coding. also, hate scanlines. agh. |

I really like the theme, and fail to see why it couldn't/shouldn't be coded. The actual layout of it would be fairly simple to put together, just like your basic theme with image borders around the content and a 3-piece h2. Then you'd just add the sidebar, which is not very difficult, either, and the code for grabbing/using the avatar has been created and used in a thousand different ways - including themes with a similar sidebar layout concept. So I don't see where "complex coding" that hasn't already been done would come in. -shrugs- |

Actually I think it would be used quite a bit if it were coded seeing that most RPG boards go for designs such as these. Most of those boards go for the bloggish looking themes. I quite like it. Will you be coding this Lighty? |

Fine Nicolas, I think it was more complicated to code than most themes. Pando's already coded it: http://s1.zetaboards.com/T_B/index/?setskin=1226285 |
