Actually, I've modified/made my first two three themes.

I'd like some opinions on the themes that I've modified.

I modified default to create ns clean.

Then (starting with default again) I actually added some graphical boxes to the right and left columns to create nsclean_blocked

And finally, I modified the Blue Shine one. I just replaced the header graphics there.

Check'em out and let me know what you think.

Hopefully I'll soon be able to create some really nice graphical elements and not just the boxes.

Nice job, dniezby!

One question: Why does everyone keep that orange tab on the blue shine theme? Yech!

Keep up the good work.

It won't be in my next revision. I originally changed it to a the blue of our logo but at that time I knew how to make the graphics but didn't know how to properly slice an image and build the tables for that type of theme.

What I think is cool is that XOOPS "looks" complicated but once you really start experimenting with it it really is quite easy.

For those that are looking to learn how to design their own themes for XOOPS I HIGHLY recommend you start by playing around with the default theme.

Thanks for the input so far.

Thanks for the input on my other first time themes....I've finally done one that is 90% mine.

Here is one I designed (and still tweaking) for a war game clan.

Opinions and tips would be EXTREMELY welcomed.

Especially when it comes to making the forums fit correctly.
