I think you guys are imagining things.
Muuuch better. :D Great work!
Now just to decide which to use. I like colours in Clouded Sky better but I prefer the banner in Strawberry Choc. DECISIONS
I made SC the default. :shobon:
Also, do what I do. Change it whenever the heck you feel like it! I had Cloudy for a few days and now I'm using Choc.
Strawberry Chocolate is fricken sexy.
SICK ASS SKIN! Who do I bump fists with for this awesome as smurf skin?
Cloudy Day does need a better banner.
And I regret posting the brown and pink color scheme now. It. Is. The. Most. Awful. Color. Scheme. EoFF. Has.
I think it's wonderful. :/
Way too much Pepto Bismol pink! I actually gagged when I saw it. XD
I don't think it looks like that. Frankly it isn't a strawberry shade, but I like it all the same.
Yeah it's more strawberry ice cream (or maybe raspberry idk) than the actual fruit but that's the name I gave it when I was throwing ideas about and it stuck.
Either way, I'll be using this one for quite a long time!
I'm not a huge fan of either of them. Strawberry Chocolate is at least bearable to look at, but the random rows of pink seem just... well, random. It's too forced and doesn't really match.
Cloudy Day's gradual darkening theme is ok, but I don't like how it does the same for the forum and thread titles on the respective indexes. If it was all the darker shade it would be better.
Summary: Raistlin does not like something new at EoFF; many mildly surprised.
(would've been helpful to have criticisms like that 2 pages ago though! :p)
Considering you have not taken away Classic, I have no vested interest in disliking these; this is just my aesthetic opinion.
And I had forgotten about this, which is why I didn't check sooner.
So...
I was trying to improve Cloudy Day last night, and I realized, "This isn't rewarding at all. I don't want to do this anymore!" Even though I didn't finish what I was working on, I did make some progress, and I'm posting everything I can find!
First of all, a preview of the edits I made to Cloudy Day is attached to below. I didn't complete it, as you can see from the almost unreadable text, but it still looks nicer, I think (except maybe the white forum background below the gradient)! One of my ideas was an image of "Eyes on Final Fantasy XIII" to overlap the banner and forum top (not pictured, but is in the RAR file). Also, I think that the forum categories ("Adventure," "General," etc.) should have their own subtle backgrounds/background color; they should stand out at least a little.
Second, I attached what I was doing in Paint with my Lightning sprites. Feel free to edit her and animate her however you like. My Serah sprite is incomplete, so I didn't post her.
