I have to repeat what my predecessors said: one more vote for the "too dark" option.

Me too and I really don't like the pink font color!
The old glest board had more gold and green, this one looks so brown.

Omega do you have the files of the old board layout? Of course its for another board, but maybe it helps?

I want the files for the old board, but to my knowledge nobody has them... :scared:

Tucho? Would you by any chance? Or maybe know somebody with it?

You do Jose? Fantastic. I hope you can find them!  :thumbup:

//EDIT: In other words, backing up the board seems pretty slow. It must be done through the board itself, and because of that, PHP seems to be timing out to quickly to be able to gzip it (48 MB uncompressed!). Without access to the database itself, anyone got any ideas? Jose maybe?

The source images of old phpbb forum (subSilver template):
Code: [Select]
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/546470/glest/glestforum-phpbb-subsilver-src.7z
Each PNG is a multilayer image, with icons, buttons and images. I have used Adobe Fireworks to make it.
I think it's the only program that can read this format :S

Taking a look at your theme jose, thanks.

I don't think I'll have any problems with the format. Its all png, and may be multilayer, but still opens in paint.NET (ok, I only tested one image, but I'll get to it tonight).

I'll see what I can do (starting from scratch :bomb:)

Hmm... Danged. I don't suppose you or anyone has a picture of the old board? I can't remember what it should look like!

@Jose: Do you have ALL the files (not just the images) for the theme so that I can make a local host PHPBB board to see what it looks like? Would be VERY helpful.

I don't think that's what it looked like, at least not at the time I joined (around the time of the great data loss).

Thanks jose. Just what I needed. That's not quite the board I remember, but it's quite nice. Let's see what I can do...

Titi's avatar actually looks better with the new (wip) Glest theme! ;D

(that's what you get for using transparency in your avatar :P)

I heard (or read) that there were also "limits" with the phpBB board...  :|  ::)

Well Ultifd, it is not the original theme that was used years back, but I like it and work on making something similar is underway. Here's a quick image of developement so far. You see its only part way done and you can still see the old parts, but its coming.
