    Hello ~

    We have done a revamp on the forum themes. We felt like this was long needed and well, it's finally here! There are currently 5 themes available; 3 light ones and 2 dark ones. Perhaps there will be more in the future. To select between the different themes, you can scroll to the bottom of the page and click the name of the current theme, like so:
    [​IMG]
    Or you can head to this link: https://forum.maplelegends.com/index.php?misc/style

    I have also added a poll, just for fun.

    We hope you guys like them. :)

    Thread opened and you can now vote at the polls.

    First I want to say you should give the theme(s) a chance. I am a person that absolutely hate UI changes, so even for me i need get used to it. If you want however to improve it, provide to us what you dislike about the skin.

    Things like "I wanna kill myself" or just not stating what you dislike is pretty useless, so instead tell us what you do or not dislike so we can improve upon it.

    For now you have the option to revert back to old one, but like I said give it a day chance since we probably want improve forum features on the new skins, which slowly make the old skins obsolete... which means that eventually we may get rid of the old skin completely.

    Furthermore, many Private Servers right now that uses Xenforo uses the exact same style and we wanted take a different road.

    I love the blue one <3. Insta favourite there :)

    Only thing that looks odd is the 'Staff Member' 'Administrator' and 'Game Moderator' ribbons. I personally like the colouring and blending of the 'Staff Member' ribbon as it feels part of the theme and blends in well. However the 'Adminsitrator' and 'Game Moderator' ribbons feel a bit too vibrant. For the red used in 'Administrator' I feel eithere the colour used in 'Spoiler' tags or 'Moderator Post' buttons would be better suited. With regards to 'Game Moderator' ribbon I would say either 'soften' the colour a bit so it blends in more with its 'edge' colour. That being said I suck with UI so god knows how you'd make it better or whether it is just me that finds it peculiar.

    Either way I am sticking with it and will just try and get used to it :).

    Edit: I can only say this for the 'Dark Blue' Theme.

    They all look cool (light-pastel is amazing :p). Maybe it's just me but the missing boarders really freak me out lol. Just because of that I'm sticking to the old UI...

    Anyone else feeling the same way?

    Definitely love the dark theme, much less of a strain on the eyes especially when playing very late at night like I do.

    The only thing I'm a bit iffy about is not seeing the people's info on the left anymore without hovering above their name; I liked seeing who they are in-game/their guild at a quick glance, while the rest of the information wasn't so important.

    Also a tiny detail, but on the dark theme, the ''Users who are viewing this thread'' lines are almost invisible. :)

    Probably what I like most is that avatars are not squeezed anymore. Mine for example looks now very nice :)

    Right now I am using Light - Pastel but I keep changing it >.<

    The hovering to see profile stats can easily be changed and removed, so if enough want it like old theme we can do that :)

    The hovering has been disabled and the font colour for the "users viewing thread" thing has been fixed.

    Just as disclaimer before I get angry owners of other servers after me. I didn't said they copied us, I said many Xenforo forums look similar, which didn't imply we were first using Xenforo

    I should have worded it differently since its not exact same skin but its the same similar 'default Xenforo' style
