Mods and themes for Icy Phoenix 1.3

IcyPhoenix UK is off-line permanently due to lack of time to update mods.
if anyone is interested in my templates I will upgrade them to Icy 2.0.

That's pretty obvious from the fact that one needs to make two posts before they can access the download.

It takes hundreds of hours to create some themes, particularly when they are not just clones of IP. And if anyone thinks that spending 5 minutes of their time by being required to "Register" on forum-styles.com and submit two posts is too much of a problem to access the themes; then:

1. they either don't really want it.
2. They have no consideration for anyone other than themselves.

A general observation:

It never ceases to amaze me how important "other" people's forums are to them; but it when it comes to someone else's, everything should be there just for the taking.

So yes, one does have to register there.

I was only asking a straight forward question...

I make themes  for all different software programs and understand fully how long it takes to to make them .... I just found it strange I had to post on your site to download them....

Still that is up to you... as I said I was asking a straight forward question but sadly you seem to have taken it the wrong way....

Your question "does that mean we have to register" infers that you are speaking for others, and I reponded to that. Had it been "does that mean I have to, or one has to register" I would have simply said "Yes you do".

Wow kind of hostile....

I shall remember to correct the way I speak in future to ask only for myself so as not to confuse anyone regarding the fact that I have no reason to ask on behalf of anyone else...

I do think you were just being very defensive as you believed I was attacking you download method in some way but that again is up to you...

Also you could have just answered yes you do... to my question whether I said we or I.....

I would have quite happily registered at your site if I wished to download your themes...but

A: I do not need to download your theme as you already pointed out..

B: what am I supposed to post when I do register....

   Anything that's not indecent, homophobic, political, racial or anti-secular.    

Now it's time for the white flag to be raised, report these posts as way off-topic; and hopefully a nice Moderator will be kind enough to delete them.

Do you agree, or are you gonna argue about that too ?

Here's a nice "light" one I'm working on - h**p://forum-styles.com/ip-themes/

It looks better with FF, because IE7 still has problems with .png that need to be sorted out.

LOL guys it was just a misunderstanding, there is no reason to argue at all.

The transparent images for your theme are working fine in my IE7 the site is exactly the same for FF...

The problem is as far as I can tell as I have used those images myself for a theme is they have not been correctly made.... and in both IE7 and FF they sometimes darken unless you refresh the page...

I sadly scrapped the theme I did for this... as I couldnt be bothered to redo the images...

Thanks for the feedback.  

But in IE7, the scrolling is jerky, rather than smooth as with FF. There is a fix for it, but a lot of other .js scripts in IP don't particularly like it.

I made some of those graphics using PaintNet, and because of the "double" level of transparency it's difficult to know how it's going to react with all browsers because of caching.

Yep! they do take a long time to make, especially the transparencies; but if I change them to .gif the whole effect is lost and so is the ability to just add a new background for a whole new look?

Dunno! Still musing over it.  Maybe bite-the-bullet and try it with gifs, and if anyone wants to expand on it; then they'll have to create new coloured gifs for it.

Nice to see you have a sense of humour!   But you are right in one way.

I've reverted the download section to the IP way of doing things, but you one still has to log on to access the downloads.

It's a test site, and I do need people to log on and hopefully post something and generally "play", so if you want to help out and log on, and run amok - then you are welcome.

I've never tested the BAN functions - - -        

The template is good looking, I just don't like big buttons:

Regarding the "debate" I hope that all is over.


OFF TOPIC
My PERSONAL (which means that I'm not GOD and I may be wrong ) opinion on the matter...
I don't like being asked to post to be able to download something, just because I wouldn't like my site being spammed for a couple of extra downloads.
I only require registration for some extra features / styles just because I don't want lazy users to use my email to ask questions... so if they already registered to download something, it is more likely to happen that they will use their account to ask questions or support.
For the same reason I don't like features like HIDDEN messages or "THANKS BEFORE DOWNLOAD", because it is true that I'm using my own free time to give something for free (you cannot even imagine how many hours of my FREE time I have used for this project and for supporting it...) but it is also true that I don't like being thanked (or off topic posting) from people who don't care or cannot understand it. People who don't understand how many efforts (bringing on a project like this) all this stuff require or people who remove copyrights as their first "customization"... well I guess they are the most likely to spam to achieve their goals. English is not my native tongue so it is difficult for me to not being misunderstood, but I hope you will get my point... And remember that this is just my opinion, I don't want to offend anyone.
