{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=21:32, 1 September 2014 (UTC)|TRON=A couple weeks back, I had hinted at something I kinda wanted to propose, and here it is. On my [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Gadget Lab/Project Page 7|Main Page draft]], I changed the colors for the Games portal, to match the new theme. However, the KHX one is a different color scheme, because I found that I could change the individual colors of each game, without having to go and edit the site's CSS. So, regarding the Game Portals, we have three options: | |||
#'''KHHD 2.5 Theme''': The portals match the current site theme, like they do now. This would be set in the game portal page, without editing the CSS, and can/should easily be changed when we change the site theme (like in the future with KHIII). This can be seen in my draft for all the portals except KHX. | |||
#'''Individual Game''': The portals have a color scheme to match its game. This would ideally be set in the site's CSS, and would not need to be changed anymore, but it wouldn't match the site theme anymore. An example is the KHX portal in my draft. | |||
#'''No change''': We don't change the portals, and they'll eternally be in a KHHD 1.5 theme. | |||
What do you guys think?}} | |||
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 23:11, 1 September 2014 (UTC)|persuade=I'm a sucker for uniformity so I'd have to go with having a KHHD 2.5. Plus, since both the hover menu and the main page will have 2.5 colours, they'd match and look better.}} | |||

- I like where this is going. FM's comments are pretty much my same thoughts/comments/concerns. Nice job so far, guys. Xion4ever 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. Xion4ever 02:52, 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. KeybladeSpyMaster 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.

- 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. TheFifteenthMember 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? Xion4ever 22:27, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

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. Xion4ever 22:49, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
