VibrantEnvy - XenForo Style Review

[John]

I'll drop my two cents in for what it's worth. Let me start out by saying that it's good to see 'out of the box' thinking so to speak however I think this design is hurting in several area's:

1 - Inconsistant use of fonts
2 - Poor color combinations
3 - Imagery that doesn't give meaning to the look (icons that don't seem to have any relationship to one another)
4 - Hard to read area's of the design, ie; navbar

I actually could go on but you get the idea. I hate to be so critical and it's certainly not meant to be personal but if you were my student, I'd ask you what are you trying to accomplish with this design? Essentially it's all over the place but doesn't convey any meaning to me - it looks unplanned and rushed. I really think it could be a lot better

Forums should be aligned with the rest of links, IMO.

Hey Anotheralias,

I've been around long enough to understand the smallest and constant requests. All of them are important. It's your skin and it's your forum, it should look the way you like. I'd be happy to fulfill these, from the smallest to the ones causing you to rip your hair out



Thanks melbo.

Hey Nasr,

I would be happy to include them in the release.

I like the style, but if you're removing the side column, then the main forum section should be expanded across the board, otherwise it really looks like just an empty space where something is supposed to be.
