Spring (http://www.vbimpressions.com/forums/?styleid=5)

this your 3rd one ?
I've liked all I've seen

good job peggy

maybe the dark green is a little off

You have been a busy lady! Great job on this and all of them :D

Blimey, Your flying through these styles like they were running out of fashion. It takes me at least a week to even get into a style.

Firstly, the thing I noticed is that the colours your using on your styles are really good and consistent with the style/theme your creating. I can see some truly outstanding styles in the future from you.

I like the colours. You've combined the colours very nicely that the style conveys a nice warm feeling. The logo is very nice and the pastel end of the spectrum really is something nice. However, Like your last style the logo area looks awfully bare (along the right handside of the logo) and I would possibly suggest again that you implement a logo that stretches the full width of the screen so there's a balance in the top area.

Whenever I'm styling (which isn't often) I like to think ahead and implement a secondary nav bar that's intergrated with the logo. This is because members who will come to use this style will most likely add additional links to compliment the hacks they installed. This stops the clutterness of additional links being add in the current nav bar which people normally do and enduce clutterness by adding a thousand links. I know this isn't a problem but it doesn't hurt to look ahead. :)

I'm not to keen on the forum Icons (diamond shaped Images) as they don't convey across that spring feeling. I would keep the custom images you design curvy and smooth. I also noticed the implmentation of the vb padlock image. I wouldn't use it personally because of it's high contrast colour. I know it's a minor issue but these what seems igsignificant issues could be tackled and addressed resulting in a style which would look nice.

I really love the colours and I hope you don't think I'm being to harsh but it's totally constructive in what I'm saying.

Overall, good work peggy I can relly see some great styles from you in the future. :)

Thank you for the glowing compliiments Shelley! Well... my ideas for a style usually come to me when I'm surfing the internet. I might see a PSP tube or picture font, or something like that, and I think... HEY! that would make a nice webpage graphic. I've been doing those for years. Only now, I'm trying to think in terms of vB styles rather than webpage graphics.

I'm not too happy with the diamond forum markers either so will work on those before I release it here. I've not gone to the trouble of adding another navbar, as I figured that's something someone can do themselves if they need it.

You said something in another review about stretching the header across the full width of the screen. I asked then and I'm asking again.... how would I know how wide to make it? What size I mean? Personally I'm a fan of left-handed headers, which is why they've been like that so far. I don't like my headers centered. But I know that some do, so could you help me out on this?

thanks Shelley

You could slice the logo and have a repeating part so it stretches to the users resolution. That would mean that it would be 100% rather than insert the size in px. I guess, when I suggest this it's mainly my own preference. To elaborate, you could still have the titles showing in the left and have that repeating image to make the 100% width.

I think you'll do fine and will look forward to seeing your styles evolve.

*slips out of robot voice*

And how is peggy doing today?

hmmmm I don't know how to do that. Perhaps a tutorial is in order? *hint* ;)

I re-did the forum markers, and while I'm happy with the green ones, I'm not keen on the yellow one. I think I need to make it a richer yellow, almost gold. I'll have to work on that tonight, as I'm on my way to work in a few mins.

Peggy is doing ok... I hope Shelley is too ;)

I hope you hurry and translate the rest of them into english as well, lol

Thank you for sharing.

Using firefox, when I hover over links like "site announcement..." they change to a yellow? that makes them effectively invisible.

thank you for telling me about that doc. I fixed it, can you check it now and see how you like that?

Much better. In my hurry to point out flaws I forgot to mention that it looks really nice :)
