Theme Requests Accepted Here

At this time, I am accepting theme requests. I have a lot of free time with little to no interests other then coding on my two days off every week, which is why I will be accepting theme requests at this time. There are many things to consider before requesting a theme:

  • I have no graphic design experience whatsoever, so you will have to either provide a theme print for me to crop the images out of or have someone provide me with the graphics.
  • I will be working on one theme request at a time, in the order they are accepted in.
  • I have every right to deny coding a theme for you.
  • If you're providing me with a theme print and you are not the one that designed it, I will need permission from the original creator who did design it that I can code it. Same goes for graphics; if you are not the original creator of graphics you provide me, I will need permission from the original creator to use them in your theme.
Donations are welcome.

Hmmm, I have an idea or two for a really modern, imageless type of theme which would probably require quite a bit of javascript to accomplish the look.

Could take a few weeks to come up with an image concept but will see what I can do. If you're up for it after seeing then great, if not then fair enough.

Progress


I'm going to change the board stats soon so it displays what it should look like.

To do:

  • Image of what posts look like
  • Add text for forum pages like portal, calendar, etc.
  • Add in a logged in view
  • Finish final touches like forum details for viewers, replies, the forum title, forum markers, etc.


    That space image in the background I don't intend to use, its just an example. It would be cool if in the CSS if can change that just by url and also change the dark blue background of the forum so they can be two entirely different images. If not, I'm fine with how it is now.

Lout: Sounds like something I'd be interested in. After all, I did have fun with JavaScript manipulation when I coded Zeta Mobile. Is this a theme you were wanting for your own personal use, or to be released?

Adol360: OK, thanks for the update. I'm mainly interested when you're finished and the product is final so I can begin coding it.

By default the logo is changed as a separate image in the Admin CP, but it can be done with CSS as well. The body can definitely have its own background image with CSS.

Yeah. I'm not too sure what you'll need so I'm just covering the important stuff.

Spoiler: click to toggle



Do you need the forum markers and post buttons or can you do without them since I can add them myself?

I'm all for sharing, no issues with it being released.

Adol360: The only graphics I'm worried about are the ones you have to apply with CSS. You may add the image macros yourself.

Lout: Definitely sounds like a project worth pursuing then.

Hi Cory,

I was hoping you could help me by creating a theme and am very happy I found this thread :D

This theme is for a 'NationStates' region: "Uniterra". Do you think it would be possible to create an original theme which is inspired by the general simplicity and look of this forum. I would like, if possible, to have a similar header (with all the links (i.e. Region, Handbook, Employment, etc) shown in the the forum. I don't know if this is relevant or if you need it now, but here is the (free) icons to be used in the forum.

Hi Cory,

I was hoping you can help me by creating a pretty simple theme.

I'm looking for a theme that looks a lot like Tinty Dark, with this color scheme http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/3796253/ with the following features...

- The sub-menu in a bar like this and the preference things where the sub-menu was like shown below. I would also like the sub-menu to follow the user when he scrolls down if possible.

Posted Image

- I would also like to add a background (what dimensions?)
- VM/Profile Comments
I'm really hoping this is possible, I would like a way so that in each profile, visitors(other members) can leave a "message" like vBulletin, where you can leave a message on a users profile and then the user and member would be having a conversation aka a profile comment system. I know you have one, but is there a way to expand the 100 comment cap?
- Twitter/Facebook buttons in bottom of the page
- Profile Backgrounds
I would also like a way so that members can choose from various predefined backgrounds which they can use as their mini profile background (let me know dimensions?) I would also like a way that some backgrounds are only available to certain people, for example outlineforum.com, has an exclusive bg for retired staff.

P.S. Can you give me a list of all of the graphics you need so our graphic designer can do them?

Thanks. :)

Giant Goldfish would be the preferred colour scheme.

Crack on with that one if you like Cory - I'm in no rush.

I'll post this now so I don't forget though, I'm thinking along the lines of maybe of a theme that is heavily touchscreen orientated, perhaps with submenu etc that are floating tabs that will pop in and out.

Pretty flat colours, virtually imageless (I will gladly design any images needed) and very much in the style of Windows 8/10.

TDreamW101: Your request is going to be put on pause for now seeing as I have many other requests ahead of yours.

As for graphics, I'll only need the ones that are to be applied via the CSS. The image macros you can apply yourself once the theme is finished.

In terms of major modifications, please use the Codes & Modifications Requests forum. This topic is for theme creation with the only major modifications being the layout or style of the theme itself.

The profile comments system has a 100 comment and profile limit due to AJAX restrictions. To show more comments or more profiles with comments could be an indefinite number when all that data does is accumulate. You would need a PHP/MySQL version to have it limitless.

Amerion: I will start on it tomorrow, most likely.

Lout: Thanks for the updates. I don't mind if you post any ideas or the theme print itself in this topic. I can either a.) put it on my to-do list, or b.) work on multiple themes at once.

Question Cory, I don't know what images the CSS needs so if it's not too much of a bother, can you tell them?
