Forum:Kingdom Hearts Wiki Theme 2014

Discussion/Design

 * I like where this is going. FM's comments are pretty much my same thoughts/comments/concerns. Nice job so far, guys. 02:50, 19 July 2014 (UTC) EDIT: Oh, I forgot about this...I say we go with a grey background or dark color. While blue is one of my favorite colors, the blue Wiki background and the blue background on the logos? Eh...I'm not so much a fan.  02:52, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Does anyone have a screenshot of the Wiki's theme in the BBS era? I'd like to see how we made the blue work then. 14:36, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

 * It appears we used the official pattern from Birth by Sleep then, and it was a white and really-light gray checkered pattern. See here. Here is a screenshot with Logo 2 right here. I personally feel we could make it work, and that it wouldn't look so bad. I've been using the new theme for the last two days, and the only problem I feel could exist is the fact that the Terra-Ventus-Aqua Logo does have a background similar to the pattern, which could easily be fixed. Other than that, I don't find too much a problem with the blues. 17:33, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

The Xehanort logo's background still needs a brush up; Xehanort's middle panel has a much darker shade of blue than the other two panels, which is somewhat distracting. Also, perhaps the background's opacity should be decreased or the colours be made fainter so that the background isn't so prominent and "jolting" (not sure how else to word it)? If we are confined to one logo, I think we should stick with the Xehanort logo (Xehanort, Ansem and Xemnas) as they're largely representative of the Xehanort saga as a whole. Seeing as 2.5 is the last HD remaster of the saga and it prepares for KH3 -the climax of the saga-, the Xehanort logo is most fitting. Besides, using Xehanort is more original than using Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy Ventus, Terra or Aqua, because they've all been overused in our logos already :P. To represent BBS, KH2 and Re:coded, the main page can have the ideas ENX suggested with Sora, Donald, Goofy and Ventus, Terra, Aqua going on the main page. 23:59, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Before we implement it, is there any serious consequence to adding the logo-switching feature (e.g. significantly longer loading times)? The Xehanort is a good logo, the only problem is that the background isn't as consistent as the other logo backgrounds. 00:56, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


 * New theme looks good to me. I'd give people until Saturday night to make sure everyone has seen/commented on what they want. Unless everyone is in agreement now? 22:27, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=02:53, 31 July 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Ok, so whenever you guys are ready, I can upload the new images. Which should be the default logo? I think generally, we're leaning towards Ver. 2, though I much prefer Ver. 5. It's up to you guys, though. I also would need an admin to add the code to the Javascript file to allow for the random/alternating logo. Who ever does that needs to tell me beforehand so that I can change the location of the images (right now, they still link to my Google+ account images) Thanks to Porplemontage, the script works without a hitch. Also, I finished some images to work on the Vector and RoundedBlue skins. Here they are!

(The second one changes the color of the symbols from the bright blue to a blue closer to the new theme color.)

{Apparently, that's a part of RoundedBlue)

I just realized that I'm missing some details, so those will go up in a bit, as well.

EDIT: Ok, here's what is significantly left.

The GIF has a weird white line, but I think it's because I uploaded it to Google+, 'cuz the line doesn't appear in Photoshop, Internet Explorer, etc. I've also recolored the text for RoundedBlue. }}

Logo 2 gets my vote. Implementation: definitely by the time the Japanese version is released. If everything is taken care of sooner, I say we go for it. 22:49, 31 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Let's wait for two more votes for certainty. Then, we can change the skin. 16:52, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Post Launch

 * Or it changes every two pages... o.O 01:03, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It'd be purely accidental. It's not supposed to do that, at least, it's not designed to do that. 01:06, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks pretty cool. We can incorporate all three lovely logos instead of just one! :^) 14:07, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Shouldn't we change the image borders from black to blue? We changed them from pink to black when we switched to 1.5. 19:07, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree. How's this? 19:30, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
