Forsaken & Xenique Skins

No its not too bad. If you separate it into tasks its better.

1. Setup templates for: tablet, mobile landscape, mobile portrait (or more if you want, you can add a view for every device)
2. Minify the navigation with an onclick (turn the nav into a vertical list instead of horizontal, hide it, and show it onclick of a button)
3. Go through elements / element types (tables, tabs, logo, footer, titles, text size in general)
4. Hit specific pages (forum view, polls, postbit) -- this is essentially positioning and hiding elements

Obviously I'm paraphrasing, but this is the gist. You also might need a function that runs everytime someone resizes their browser for cleanup.

Vertical list sucks.

The thing I don't necessarily like about Arty's is that all styles then become the same.

I actually started a responsive framework back in July of last year but scrapped the idea because the way I was going about it was going to take a lot of work and I didn't want to do the cookie cutter approach where one design pattern fits all.

Other than requiring TMS Arty's framework would be best for most people and it also cuts down on the amount of work I have to do so I rather support that instead .

Vertical list sucks.

Your only option is really small font. For people with huge navigations (or in my opinion regular sized), vertical is necessary as it is width independent.

Can't we fit in two navigation menus in one row?

Interesting and thanks for sharing the info. I always thought it was a big job (not saying it's a small job) since i wouldn't know where to begin that it took a good while.

Creating responsive design for Xenforo is easier then doing for vb! it takes about/less then 2 weeks for your first theme.

Sounds like it's easier than I originally thought then. I've never attempted it so didn't really know where to start. If I could make my current style responsive I'd be happy as I'm not into style providing such as yourself, Mike or forsaken so it should be a relatively easy job, in theory.

Just had a style done by Forsaken/Xenique. It's damn nice and original.

I'll post a link once I'm done with all the setup.

Dark styles are not fun .
