Site needs some serious visual upgrades.

Hopefully that's configurable Tongue

(still don't like it if the defaults purple).

Like @Luminary I also have the feeling i've seen it somwhere, but dejavu aside, I don't know if I like it very much. TBH I think the "pop factor" may be a bit much and I like the humble home-row as it is. It fits the rest of the site A E S T H E T I C

Maybe if Oni doesn't implement it, you could just release it as a Stylish theme? That the people who like it can add it, and the people who don't won't.

Love the colour and header.. but who really looks at the header anyways? Colour looks great though Smile

Oni put that into place!

Seems interesting, I would also recommend dynamically colored fonts (so if you select white from the color picker you can still read stuff).

And I believe the very top part of your mockup (where the logo is) is a bit too long.

This looks SO killer, especially if you could switch colors with the new ribbon.

Maybe you could keep the current theme just in case people would want to change back?

I think it would be great to be able to switch back and fourth.
And I really think it would bring in some new members.

But it would be a lot of work to make the header work with the color changer and background changer I think.
I'm not sure if @Oni will want to do it.

Agree.

A somewhat similar functionality as with switching the Board Style via the User CP. Then again, It all depends on the complexity behind It's Implementation.

Looking the ribbon again, if it popped out less it could work... Idk I like the flat theme we have going.

That's what gives It character though- the ribbon protruding. Flat Is somewhat bland, that's just my opinion.

Having said that, I do agree with you In trying a less-conspicuous approach with the ribbon. It may just provide an equilibrium to those opposed to the Idea altogether.

That looks proper bro, great work.

I think the ribbon looks a little out of place, but mostly because it's the only place on the page that shows a sense of depth. The grey part of the background, the header and the board are all on the level, then the ribbon is trying to show the illusion of the board and ribbon popping forward. I suspect if the ribbon popped out just a bit less, plus some shadow between the board and background, it may work. Overall I like it but I still like our current too. Perhaps the header could be slimmed like it is now but with the new design.

As always, some nice designs from @Nuance
