Genesis Forums

I just went through the User Control Panel, to try and find an option to change the look of the forum, but with no luck.

I think it would be nice if the looks could be changed a bit, so that it doesn't look like a copy of the old forum Adriel put up, and perhaps even customized to look more Genesis/Fantasy-like. I don't mean over-plaster it with cheesy graphics, but the top-bar could perhaps be changed...Just something to make it stand out and not look like an (almost) identical copy of Adriels forum.

If I just failed to spot the option to choose a different look for the forum in the Control Panel, please let me know.

Hey Makfly, this is a GREAT suggestion! The theme/style that you see is the standard phpBB style that is installed by default. And to be honest, I agree that the default is a bit drab and boring.

So, this is a great opportunity for everyone to give input on what the community would like for the new style. Here's a phpbb styles site where you can browse through lots of screenshots

Let the games begin!

I think it should look similar to the homepage design in colors. Feels more connected.

or

Are the ones I think fit best, and they are pretty calm and nice to rest your eyes on, easy to read. Add our little top-banner from the homepage as forum logo if possible?

I like 'glass yellow' and 'glass green'

User control panel, options, board preferences, my board style...I kind of like subsilver2.

Im kind of liking Chereks Getaway-Green, the first one. I'll have to poke around and see if I find something

I dunno why, but when I think of a Genesis color, I think yellow.

lol

Sort of like these ones too:

I'll put up a poll if I can figure out how.

Ideally we'd get a custom genesis skin, similar to the website
