Nice to see whats been updated, now just waiting for the real result.

Do these changes have anything to do with the current site problems? I'm just getting a blank white page.

We have the site in an 'offline' mode, so only staff can view it currently while we work out a couple of last minute bugs.

Is there a green version by any chance - i did see a flash of green :p

Yeah, there is Graphite for the gamers section and Green for the software section.

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

Swift has been completely re-done aswell, not sure if you guys are able to select it though.

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

Are we having issues? I had access for a while, but lost it.

That link just gives me a white page. :/

Edit: Looks like you guys just put it out then back into staff-only mode. The Graphite theme looks awesome! :D

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

Okay, Shift Graphite is very sexy... :drool: It's Neosexy.

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

Nice Work! Graphite Theme is great :D.

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

Graphite is indeed very sexy. Got to give the credit to Timan for that, he's been Tsar of the Pixels recently.

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

For some reason with Firefox 2 RC3, when I clear my cache and select Graphite, it still goes to the standard blue one? I keep selecting the option and it's not changing! :(

<image snipped>

the blue and red just seem way too bright compared to the rest of the theme. i think they should be desaturated a bit just so it fits in better with the rest of the layout.

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

NeoFlux, I had to clear my cookies as well. Actually, I just cleared everything. but I think the cookies are the problem. Try that.

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

Graphite does look quite nice but I agree about the red and blue being a little too bright for it.

Posted October 23, 2006 · October 23, 2006

Great work guys! I'm bug hunting as I type :)

edti: Argh I didn't notice the last line :pinch: I've already submitted bugs :/

Any chance one of these days you'll make a security sub-section? regardless I'm looking forward to these new sub-categories. :)

Posted October 24, 2006 · October 24, 2006

When will the forums be updated too? :)

I don't want to put doubts in peoples heads, but don't expect anything soon relating the forum getting a new "skin". Already spending quite some time on re-doing swift for the new IPB2.2 which brings a bunch of crap and bloat :p hehe.

Posted October 24, 2006 · October 24, 2006

Sorry if this is a really obvious question, but how do I use this? I had it on for a while, but then I clicked the "Use old style" link by accident, and now I have no idea how to go back!

Posted October 24, 2006 · October 24, 2006

I found a bug:

Change the skin using this link - https://www.neowin.net/index.php?theme=43

then try changing the skin to another one - it doesn't work and https://www.neowin.net/index.php?theme=43 remains in the address bar.

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.7.

Posted October 24, 2006 · October 24, 2006

^ Bottom left, should say "Click Here", choose a shift colour (make sure to clear your temp internet files).

same here.....

are the new themes only for those new pages or is it for all pages on the main page?
