    Default New Custom Style

    I had a custom style designed specifically for our site. Hopefully you will all like it. I had them make the colors red/white/blue but not too bright, a patriotic theme, different from other political boards, and status icons that are easy to differentiate between.

    Please let me know if you see any issues/errors. Also, if anything is missing, as some modifications and plugins are style specific.

    Or if you want to tell me how much you hate it - feel free.

    I'll use it for a bit. The first thing I see is the text "You last visited:" blends into the eagle and is unreadable (for me).

    Why the Hell should I have to press “1” for ENGLISH?

    I like it and it doesn't mess with my head.
    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
    Samuel Adams

    it's perfect...almost.

    The outline (stroke) on the yellow text to the upper left shouldn't be white. Should be blue or black.


    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    I darkened the separator.

    The other thing doesn't blend in with the Eagle on mine, can you refresh and see if it fixes itself?

    Is the text blocked by something, or just difficult to read because it is white?

    Jim - the white font blends w/ the clouds. Change this text:

    "You last visited: Today at 01:10 PM : You Have 20 Unread Posts"

    to black and you'll be set.

    I like it.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    When I go to 'today's posts' I have yellow or red bubbles of a sort. Seems the red ones, where I've participated have that little yellow thing in the bubble, to indicate my own participation. However they also have a lock on them-though the thread is not closed.

    The yellow bubbles. have the little yellow thing, (arrow?) to indicate participation, but not the lock.

    I'm unsure what a locked thread might look like.
