Kinda plain, but then again the other design wasn't that great. I prefer the original version though.

So what prompted the change? Wanted the site to match the forum's color scheme?

Not really into it. It'd be better as a sleeker design with smaller text. That red is an eye sore.

I couldn't find a theme I liked to go with the new version of the front page and I wanted to match the color scheme of the forums somewhat. This theme was relatively quickly thrown together though I'm by no means a website designer (I am a programmer).

Not a fan to be honest, of the colour scheme or the font on that TV Nihon logo. The text feels a bit big too. If you wanted to tie the front page to the forum I would have changed the colour scheme of the forum, I've never liked the washed-out red and grey.

I honestly preferred the one before the previous update. This one, all I see is grey and white. The previous one was blue, which didn't match up well with the rest of the site. And the one before that, IMHO, fit the best.

I've always wanted to get away from the current color scheme, but I have no ideas for how it should look. Usually I have ideas about how the layout should look, but not its colors.

Most of them are either dead, don't work with the newest major version of drupal, or are base themes that expect you to finish the theme. I just need to be able to see a good color combination and I should be able to make it.

Eeeeh, that red and black color theme was not very good in my opinion, to damn dark for me.

Looked like a satanic theme for a site. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I honestly liked the blue/silver/white theme waaay better to be honest.

Wish we had a optional theme changer like some forum sites have, where each member could change the theme that suits their choice. Like mine with the previous theme.


Sooooo yeah, I don't like it, change it back. :mrgreen:

The red/black with that particular font/format combo that you had up before definitely felt like something from the early 2000s, and the gray/white that you have up now is a little too plain. Sorry for being so frustratingly picky (^.^;)

I like the current format. Just needs a new logo. Maybe the News Tags and News Article Buttons could stand out more somehow
