Gobalopper Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 I've been working on a few different styles for the website, basically different colours for all the Houses. Check out the links below to see the main page in that particular style:AtreidesCorrinoHarkonnenOrdosOld FED2k ColoursNormal ColoursTake a look and let me know if you have any suggestions to improve them. Eventually you will be able to select a style and it will stick around for every page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Could you make the Interface images again, you know, the navagation tabs? I think it looked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 IMO the current style is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 could you consider cookies, as we won't have to select a new style every times? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 i like ordos and atredies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 It will be a preference in your forum settings eventually on what style to use.And it should be flexible enough to include images as well, but they won't be coming back for a bit longer.

DjCiD Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 wow Gob these are relly cool!I like Ordos and Atreides the best, then Corrino, then Hark...cant wait till all my pages are GREEN! ;Ddoes that go for the message board too or just the front page?

DjCiD Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 and what abou the possiblilty of different font style for the house you choose...hark gets something creepy, atredies and corrino get fancy types ones, ordos something sleek and snake like.... and then a regular font option too.... just an idead to go along with the House style thingy ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 It doesn't work for the forums currently but it might.And I probably won't change the font as it would make things a lot harder to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tag Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I have to concur with Gob on the fonts. While different font styles might make for nice eye candy the purpose of this site (aside from Gob showing off) is to provide information and I believe stylised fonts would inhibit that. If fonts were introduced, I would restrict them to subject headings.Now, I don't know what anybody else thinks of this but of the items listed on the right side-bar I tend to glance at Forum Topics the most, particularly as it is the most likely to change from visit to visit. Unless anyone has a reason to object to this, I would suggest that that be moved to the top of the sidebar so people can see it the moment they access the site.--Bashar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I like the current style best. Question why you ant to change styles ? It's a general site for Dune right ? So why changing it in favor of one house ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 Well they won't be the default, just an option for those people who can't get enough green or whatever color it might be. ;)This is fairly close to the old layout:http://web.archive.org/web/20000619033621/http://dune2k.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 Hmmm, why is Atreides blue and Harkonnen red and Corrino cyan? Don't you want follow the books instead of the Games?But I like the default old style the most. It gives me a good 'wormfeeling' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caid Ivik Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hm, nice. I have an idea. Symbol of FED2k should be in center and on sides give four symbols of these Houses as links for the style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
