The theme looks a LOT better than I originally thought, you can really see the time that you've put into it. It's very high quality.

Thanks.

By the way, the sunset sky is up now.

Can we have the option to choose TBT 1.0 banners?

I mean, some of us like the new ones and some of us like the old ones.

Why not give us choices on what we want to use?
Our choices don't affect others.

That would require a whole redesign of the new board, as it's on new forum software. Jeremy has been working non-stop on this, you should appreciate his hard work.

Some C&C on the sunset sky.. The sunsetness doesn't seem very prominent and the yellow colour seems a bit off. I think it'd look better if the yellow part of the gradient was made slightly bigger and brighter/more orange. It might also look good if you just make it a 2-part gradient instead of 3-parts, just have it go from the yellow/orange to the blue.

I could make it bigger, but it's a 3-part gradient (technically 4, but the bottom darker blue one is cut off on the offline page) because it would look bad with mostly yellow color at the top. I wanted the yellow to only peak over the "horizon". But I could extend it down more. Maybe have 100 or so pixels of the solid color before going to the next one?

I do like how it changes to day and night. That's a cool feature. Around 4am or 5am, does it have like light blue sky, with a little fog? That would be cool for an early morning whether. Maybe at random times you could add rain.

Yea, I see what you mean about the horizon and I agree that it looks good that way but it does still need making more prominent, you can try extending it down a bit more and see how it looks, possibly try making it a bit more orange like I suggested too.

If you take a look at this picture it gives you a sense of what I mean, it gets more orange at the horizon instead of the pale yellow colour which is generally further away. I think adding some purple in could also look good.

Just play around with it and see what you can get, that's the nice thing about gradients, they're so easy to change

Wait, how do you see the sunset thing?

[Ciaran]

Will the time changes be based off of each members local time, or off a central clock?

The color it goes to is actually purple, lol.

And it's kind of hard to make these, because unlike real skies, it keeps going after the horizon.

Whatever time you have set in the settings. But for guests it's just Eastern time.

Wait, how do you see the sunset thing?

Screenshot what you see

edit: well now it has changed again and there is one more change (to full night)

How about something like this, and adjusted accordingly to get the sunset just peaking over the banner?
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">

</div>

&also, really good job on the current night theme. The small stars is a really nice touch.

 

[Jake]

Oh, I like how it changes

 

[Jeremy]

i will work on sunset and sunrise (it's similar with less warm colors) maybe tomorrow or saturday

or if i never get around to it i can always make adjustments after it opens

 

[D1llon]

So what was the overall decision on awards/ranks :/

 

[Ciaran]

I like the new skin, it feels 'earthier' or something.

 

[Bacon Boy]

No
Unless there are contests.

 

[Jake]

Me as well.

 

[SilentHopes]

Loving the theme.

 

[Jrrj15]

Will you be able to turn off the time changing background (Ill keep it on but I was just wondering)

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Amazing job, I can now love the skin. Can't wait for the move now.

 

[Jeremy]

Will you be able to turn off the time changing background (Ill keep it on but I was just wondering)

No

 

[Jake]

When the 3DS comes out, and there will be millions playing Animal Crossing, and there will be heaps of stores, will we be allowed to bump?

 

[Mino]

After reading the last few pages, I'm impressed by the sheer inanity of the majority of the questions being asked here. Is it really impossible to wait a little while?

 

[Jake]

Nope.
