SC:L Forum Mockup

[Gradius]

Is this mockup 100% graphics work or is this something that'd be easy to make the forum actually do?

This is 100% graphics work - I'm just messing around w/ various elements in photoshop. Haven't done any splicing or anything. I'm not sure how easy it is to do, we need to look into getting a new VB template as well as skinning it. I'd venture to say it takes a great deal of work to set it up to look like that. But hopefully we'll get there.

What I was thinking was that perhaps the oval could be used within the post box itself. Basically that would mean keeping it where it is now - below the signature and encompassing the Quote and Edit buttons.

Tried it out here: http://sclegacy.com/_staff/gradius/forumtestm.jpg

I flipped it vertically though. That space for the quote/edit button is just sitting there, so it might be a good idea to add this.

I approve of this.

I also approve. Thanks for doing the mockup.

Hey, that's looking really good. Also, keep playing with dark themes, it's easy on the eyes. I was pleased with the forum's current aesthetic, but those mockups are certainly raising the bar.

Those are looking good, Grad. An offline/online status would be nice too. Or is that what the computer icon indicates?

Also a go-to-the-top button at the bottom right corner would be nice.

Home key.

Hehe, well the home key is in a kind of awkard position on most keyboards.

And what if you're mouse-only-surfing?

Grab the scroll bar, and yank it up.

The new look is a thumbs up in my book. Can't wait to see it 8)

Just curious, Gradius, I know you said this is all done by you in Photoshop, but have you run it by any of the actual coders yet? It'd be cool to know if their reaction was "Yeah, sure, it'll take some time though" or if they basically just started laughing
