[Lady Ashenwyte]

Apparently naming myself "Mental Freak" in the Discord chat didn't go over well. >_>

if you change it to metal freak i will make a command where you can play music and you can play death metal all day

Anyone see the new table borders.

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Anyone see the new table borders.

Yeah, I think so. I dunno if it's just the modified theme, but everything feels like a default forum template.

[Eulaliaaa!]

I like the red, but I kinda liked the bricks more.

Yeah, I think so. I dunno if it's just the modified theme, but everything feels like a default forum template.

In a good way or bad way?

I plan for Modified to be basically the jumping-off point for future theme design. It's intended to be basically similar to Classic (which is based on the original RAF) with differences like the red instead of blue bars, different border colors, and of course the different backgrounds. When things are done, I intend to make Default and Castaways both derivatives of Modified (with Default having only one background, and Castaways being based on Modified's Castaways background).

Hang on. So does that mean that you're gonna give Castaways the old buttons?

Plz no.

[James Gryphon]

Castaways already has the old buttons. The reason why you can't see them is because you're not using the same theme; you're using "Core" instead of "Core Theme". Core Theme is where all this stuff is happening; Core is the pre-button theme, with no planned future updates. I've renamed it to more clearly show this distinction.

[The Skarzs]

All these choices you have created are making me shy away from trying them.

[James Gryphon]

Not really; if I didn't create them, you couldn't very well try them either.

It's not so complicated as it sounds. There's two themes, the pre-button unupdated one for Chipster (until the theme or his browser are debugged), and Core for everyone else.

In Core, there are basically four styles. When I'm done, they will be as follows:
Default: The theme everyone will get unless they choose otherwise
Modified: Features different backgrounds for different boards, and other select changes that I like; sorta seeing the forum through a gryphon's-eye view
Castaways: Modified's theme for "Other Works" applied to the entire forum
Classic: Designed to mimic the RAF extremely closely

Classic and Modified are in progress; when they're ready, I'll make an announcement. In the meantime they're usable as Experimental and Modified, respectively. The other two styles (Default and Castaways) will be left basically as-is until those two are ready for prime time; Modified will then be used as the template to make the new versions of Default and Castaways that match it.
