I am working on a new bbPress theme (dubbed “Ministry”) and would like your opinion. Especially on the color side of things: is it too light? etc. Anyway, here is the link.

Once done, I will be releasing this theme. There will be a matching WordPress theme as well.

Thanks in advance.

Well I would center the whole forum instead (its now on the left part of the screen) and I would darken up some things (like the zebra stiping and mouse over). Also I would make all hyperlinks that dark green like you have for the forum title (upper left: your ministry.org).

Also remember that not all screens are the same. Some people have it too bright, others too dark, so don’t use too light colors

Just my 2 cents, looks great

Hey Null,

Thanks for your reply.

Just curious, what’s wrong with it being left aligned? At this point I probably wont change that because it’s based on one of my original CSS templates.

Thanks for the color suggestion. I will make those adjustments.

More reviews are welcome.

There is nothing “wrong”with left aligned, but it reads better/nicer. Especially when having a wide screen monitor. Matter of taste

[@refueled Member 16 years, 5 months ago]

I normally agree. This will probably be my only left-aligned bbPress theme.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Refueled, this is pretty slick!

To center the theme, you can just add margin: 0pt auto; to the #container div.

Another thing… You have a float: left; on #front-page #discussions. This makes hottags float to the right and be invisible (because of the overflow:hidden on container). If you delete that float: left, the hottags will appear on the bottom. This also fixes the little bottom border artifact you see to the right of the only sticky post.

To bobbyh:

Thanks for the feedback. This theme will remain aligned to the left. As it matches an already popular css template I have.

I am curious to know what browser you are using that causes the hottags to float right? Anybody else see this?

[@bobbyh Member 16 years, 5 months ago]

I’m using FF 2.0.0.15.

It looks like the hottags issue is now fixed, as there is no longer a float: left on #front-page #discussions.
