Re: How Many Themes (Styles) Do You Use?
-----------------------------------
[quote user="Lopalong" post="26371"][quote user="Vortex" post="26370"]
I think it would be nice to release a group of styles a bit subsilver-like (or IPB), if you know what I mean... [/quote]

Thanks Vortex,

That is exactly what I'm getting at - IP doesn't need 100's of useless themes like those that were made for phpBB, but it does need more different quality groups. And if those groups are added to ColorizeIt, then people can create their own colours per group.[/quote]

I totally agree about this... of course not 100's, but 10's would be possible :P

Most of phpBB old themes are just color variations, I know, but there are a lot of nice and original themes out there. The thing I wanted to focus on in my previous post was "simplicity". As said, released IP themes till now are beautiful but very complex, some variation could be good ;)

The next question is: Do the themes need to be part of a Mother Group, much like MG_Themes; because if people only use 1 or 2 themes, then space-saving can be ignored as that does tend to complicate the creation of new groups, and maybe that's why there is not an abundancy of available IP themes.?

Dunno! I'm still working on it. :twisted:[/quote]

Myself, I wouldn't care much about space... IP is already a quite big board, if you use it you are supposed to have a quite large amount of webhosting space. I don't think it's easy to keep Icy on a free hosting... but maybe I am wrong in this consideration.
