Hey, I think there should be more themes in THW, don't you think?

There have been several topics like this. Like http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/site-discussion-97/idea-site-layout-187029/ and http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/site-discussion-97/possibility-adding-themes-hive-183995/.

No one pro wants to make a whole new theme for free, because it is very many pictures to edit.

To sum the other threads up: You do it.

this...

and not just the pics, you also actually need knowledge of the site's coding structure (that's what I read on one of the other threads)...

 

[Samurai_Gal666]

So it must be done by an admin????

 

[Adiktuz]

not really, as long as you can... and afaik, no one wants to do it...

+ I don't think we really need more themes...

 

[Samurai_Gal666]

Hmm.... But but... :'(

 

[Dirigible]

Maybe a custom theme designer that modify the CSS to the needs of each user? That will solve it.

I believe you have to get the template or whatever it is from Ralle (I know this was mentioned one of the other threads, though I don't know if he'll give you it), but at that point you do it yourself and then an admin can integrate it into the site.

perhaps a Competition for it ?
if there can be 1 for Smileys why not this ^^

Because it is very much work and takes a lot of time.

Because as previously stated, Ralle doesn't want the template made public.

If he gave us the night elf border image dimensions...
I know many people, including myself could easily and willingly wip up undead, human and orc versions.

Then just change the threadbit colours to match.. hey presto!
We wouldn't need code unless you wanted to change the skin 'layout' - swapping images doesn't require any code just a child skin with variable images.

3? I wouldn't really count VB's default theme...

 

[Ganondorf]

For every franchise we use only 1 skin. So, until Diablo 3 doesn't come out, You'll unfortunately have to stick with these 2.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

You know there's not rules concerning it when it comes to franchise/etc.
Best I can say volunteer directly to Ralle to make a new skin and see if he let's you use the template

I'm quite sure he's turned down people in the past.

Well the night elf ui is ripped from wc3 anyway (correct me if I'm wrong) so I don't see why he'd have a problem giving someone those images alone... ?

The images? Why would you need his permission for that, you can just right-click the border or whichever part you're interested in and save it

No, I was talking about the template.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

You can't? I can't at any rate ^_^
I mean you could prnt scrn and c&p but there's then room for dimension error :0

But yeah a whole new template skin isn't realistic - why change the layout everyone knows and (loves?) just some simple colour and image swaps would be cool and fairly easy to do

Just make the other 3 races of war3

Here's the left border: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/images_custom/style_wc3s/borders/left.gif

Yes the site need more themes.

But the site already has a working Night Elf theme structure so if anyone want to change the theme all he/she need to do is to change the RGB codes and the theme picture parts.

 

[Linaze]

I almost think it's a pity we never saw a good Hive WC3 theme. Oh well, this one from wc3s is good enough, I suppose.

Yeah I vmed Ralle offering to do that, he didn't get back to me.
Guess he's not interested.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Hive has too many other (and important) stuff to do other than doing another theme when we already have a good and stable one.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well the idea, at least imo, would be to get a member to do it so the staff doesn't have to

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

why do people give so much shit about the theme?

 

[Skycraft]

If you want a new theme, make it yourself. Otherwise, stfu.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Could someone close this... please!?

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Meh, figured I'd leave it open for some sort of discussion, but I'm not sure it's worth the cleaning it's taking

~closed~
