Nice new footer!

[Peggy]

It's partially black so not the same, but you're right it's personal, that's why I like Safari User CSS

.footerXfSite {display:none}

PS: now I just have to find out how to get rid of this black:

hmmmm the color behind the Home, Buy XenForo, Members, Help etc. black? It is on my monitor.

If y'all don't like the black, change it to the same gray (or lt blue?) that's behind the forum.

The black gradient is part of an image not css. (see previous posts) http://xenforo.com/community/styles/default/xfcomforums/forum-footer.png

ahha, I never would have guessed just by looking at it.

What can I say, I'm half asleep and on my way to bed.

Normally I am a staunch minimalist, but I am in love with the new footers which are not just footers, they are:Ultimate Footers! I believe you guys are still trying to improve the footer and make it more presentable.

There re a lot of websites make the footer into something usefull that prevents you from immediately scrolling back to the top of the page. It might hold mostly unrelevant information to your needs, but more than likely there’s something down there for you!

Well I will have to end here by giving the developers a big Thumbs up guys!

I've always thought it was an ingenious way of the devs combating IE. They added the gradient which gives it that perspective for browsers that don't support the css gradient property IE. You'll see it in action on many of the category headers throughout the forums. This gradient being an example >> category-23px-light.png

That's a dark blue but some monitors don't differentiate that well between dark colors and black.

Oh, Oni beat me to it. I wasn't around yesterday.

The attachment has the black gradient removed Dutch.

There's no need to remove the gradient from the image, just use the following CSS:

.footerXfSite
{
	background-image: none !important;
}

Thanks but I'm actually talking about the black background you see on pages with little content: http://xenforo.com/community/find-new/723419/threads?page=5 I couldn't find it in the CSS. It's not part of the extra footer.

It looks like IPB

 

[Shelley]

I think it looks better without. Whilst keeping the original hexvalue in

The black is applied to the HTML tag. The light grey is attached to <div class="wrapperXfSite" />.

I don't think it does. It's using the original colours you see that are present in the admincp? I might be mistaken, I'm sure they are if not they are close to the variations used.

I only have on queston, why is the font Helvetica?
I think Trebuchet MS looks better and matches the XenForo UI.

Any reason why the footer is used on the forum only and not used on the hompage?

 

[dutchbb]

The home page design is not suited for this, it's good the way it is.

 

[Paul B]

Mock up.

 

[Kier]

The new forum footer only really works for long pages, like the ones you'd see when browsing a forum. The main site has deliberately short pages with all information readily accessible at all times, so there is no need for the 'mega footer'.

The logo sure jumps out more on the footer than the header. Whats it look like with the same gradient, only reversed, at the top?
