polycount.BLACK
polycounter lvl 19
Hey guys,
A while ago, while polycount member 'qubism' was mocking up the new design of the site, I began working on a new template called polycount.BLACK.
Based on qube's design, polycount.BLACK is simpler in look so that the artwork of our forum is where the colour comes from. While the new site is being worked on, this theme is sitting there not doing anything. And, while this theme itself likely will not be used as the 'pc 2.0' design will have a final 'polycount.BLACK' theme, MoP and I thought we'd put it out for public use until we flip the switch on the new stuff.
Think of it a way to whet your appetites for the new polycount.com

Notes:
- This is not the new update we've been working on for awhile
- If there's bugs, post them here
- The images at the top can be added to, removed, or edited. If you'd like your image to not be used please let me know and I have no problem taking it down.
- Alternatively, if you think you have a shot that'd look awesome up there, feel free to link it in here.
- There's no new functionality with this theme update
- Scroll to the very bottom of the forums
- In the bottom left corner is a drop-down menu that says "polycount", switch it to say "polycount.BLACK"
- There's no 'wide', or 100% browser width version. Well, there is, but the way the header is displayed its fugly. If you like the functionality and can bare with the offset header, switch to polycount.BLACK-wide
- Enjoy

The banner image isn't centered in the wide version and it looks a little odd IMO.
quick suggestion, if there was a bordering strip at the top of the images it would really make my day, with the image placed right to the top it looks like i'm missing some of the picture and i start to cry.
A Job well done sir
+!
Read the OP!
The images used as the top banners. It would be nice if there's a link somewhere that'd take the user to the thread where it originates from. Might be a hassle, but it would be nice. Although I think that might be part of the 2.0 update.
EDIT: Oh, and just to be picky. A 1px black drop shadow behind the text naming the artist(s), as it kinda blends with brighter backgrounds right now.
so whats pc 2.0 gonna bring to the table yo
Also, please try to give Adam as much feedback as possible (as he mentioned...) in this thread so that all the bugs can be smooothed out and ready to go.
EDIT: Ok, left justified in Internet Explorer. Looks like you've got some kind of incompatibility with Opera.
I really like the mock up, nice work guys, looking forward to it.
When is PC 2.0 coming? roughly?
Looks like ass on my CRT (yes, one of my LCD's died). Not easy on the eyes. I forgot to adjust the brightness on my monitor and thought the whole forum was black with maybe a few hidden blinking squares (qubism). Now that I see the shades of dark grey, the white is much too bright.
should have called it
polycount.UBERHIGHCONTRASTLAME
But it's temporary, so it's cool. And the pixel art title is gone.
Yay for change.
Just fyi, for anyone that doesn't have a good quality LCD, it looks like ass.
eh, looks fine on my super low contrast CRT. of course, i have the brightness cranked...
