Kit the Human 757 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I love looking at other people's site themes for inspiration and to just admire them. So without running off to your buddies to tell them to spruik your site, and without links (just state the name) what site themes do you covet? 2 PSI: an Occult Investigations RP Roleplay Architects: Grab a friend (or many friends!) and just write.

Huskerdust 625 Share Posted October 1, 2019 There was a super cool original theme on a Pokémon site I was a part of a while back that I liked a lot. I believe it was called Holographic. It shut down but still it was pretty to look at. ❤️ Reality is an illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Morrigan 1,825 Admin Share Posted October 1, 2019 There was this site that was a a stargate one. I don't remember the site name but they had a really clever collapsable categories that looked like the startgate when all were collapsed.

Kit the Human 757 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 I think I remember admiring that theme @Zozma and that sounds really cool @Morrigan I appreciate simple cleverness. I really like clean and minimal-ish design, so Thorns Uprising and Kalopsia are doing it for me at the moment. 3 PSI: an Occult Investigations RP Roleplay Architects: Grab a friend (or many friends!) and just write.

StormWolfe 556 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The color palette on Shatterdome and also, the colors and some of the images on Vector. I also really love the colors and graphics on Forge.

Eleutherian 17 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Ericourt. Everytime I view it I'm filled with green envy that I can't design something so gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit the Human 757 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Vector reminds me of Vexxor which I think is well designed because you look at it and know precisely what genre of site you're looking at. Mind you, cyberpunk has a strong visual identity, but it's worthy of note because of the proliferation of sites out there that do not have designs that communicate what they are. I would appreciate Ericourt far more if it had good contrast and font size for all text, and less back end issues. Sorry Ericourt! It's sadly affecting site performance/functionality which undermines what is absolutely beautiful design. It also does what Vexxor does! Clearly communicates what it is. Khy'eras is the same for communication! It's lovely. 💖 It's also responsive, which I love. I mean, that is what puts phpbb in front of all (I think) other free site software out there. It's actually responsive without wanting to drop a bunch of site features. 2 1 PSI: an Occult Investigations RP Roleplay Architects: Grab a friend (or many friends!) and just write.

memoria 37 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks for the love, @Muse and @Kit the Human. It was fun to make and I'm glad people are visually enjoying the theme. 1 Khyeras: an original fantasy RPG.

Bishop 172 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I haven't been out in the wild too much, but I have to say the one that blows me away and always will is @Muse 's Thorns. Not only does she take great care in making sure it matches and is pleasing to the eye. Her eye as a designer and woman working in the industry is inspiring!

kria 1 Share Posted November 5, 2019 i absolutely adore ttam's (the truth about monsters) skin by rachelskins. stylish, sleek, dark. the coloured borders make the whole skin come together. i admire how unobtrusive it seems while not feeling blank. everything is purposeful and aesthetic. here be monsters.

StormWolfe 556 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I have to add another theme that I seriously covet. This site is on the new forum platform, Gaia. The site is Resurgence, the theme is Agni Kai Dark, and it is all created by our wonderful @Arceus. First and foremost, I love the colors and layout. It is different from the majority of sites I've seen over the years. Now, I could not do the same color theme (my members would mutiny - we all like dark and grungy), but that takes nothing away from how beautiful Resurgence is. I totally love the forum index layout and structure as well as the totally unique topic listing. I also love how the thread / post header (?) mini-profile displays across the top and pulls the character's profile page cover image if there is one set. Honestly, the site just makes me want to write there! Once I have my reboot site up and running, I might just see if I can learn enough about the genre to do just that! 1 Someone somewhere went to sleep and dreamed us all alive.
