Vote for the next Town of Odyssey styles!

darcie · Post by **darcie** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:02 pm

As we announced in this topic, we opened up style designing for the new board to all members with a style contest. Well, the time for designing has now come to a close, and it is time for you to weigh in! $\:D/$

We have 6 styles for you to vote on becoming the next default style. This will be for the one visible to guests and the main style of the site. The other styles will be available for users to pick from as well. We also have some additional awarding for the categories. I don't think we have enough to vote separately for each category, so make your voices heard here in the topic to nominate winners for those. They are:

Most Odyssey Inspired
The style that is most reminiscent of Adventures in Odyssey.
Most Original
Something new and totally different?
Most Retro
Resdesigns of the current styles on the phpBB2 ToO

And now for the designs! Click on each thumbnail to browse in that style-

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Minor changes and tweaks may occur in each style prior to the new board opening.

Let voting begin! Personally I say #2 should be the next default....as for most retro i'd say #5 since it's a grayscale remake...and most original is obviously #4.

Second to vote! $\:D/$ Yay! Wow... Those are some really awesome styles!

I nominate #2 for Most Odyssey Inspired, and #5 for Most Original.

I don't know why you like #2 so much. To me it looks like the spacing is off badly.

Most Odyssey Inspired - #1

Most Original - #4

Most Retro - #5

I am going to say #1. #3 and #6 make for good replacements for the blue and pink here just not quite as fancy.

Even though #1 is my very most favorite

, I really like #2, #4, and #6. I like all of them, but those are my top faves!

My picks!
Retro: #1
Odyssey: #2
Origional: #4

I think most all of us would agree that #2 is the coolest looking, but it's spacing is all messed up. This shows how the profile pictures would look on the right side, and I dislike that (this looks much better). I therefore support #6 for the time being.

Most Odyssey Inspired - #2
Most Original - #2
Most Retro - #5

Most Odyssey Inspired: #2

Most Original: #3

Most Retro: #6

I'm not sure what Most Retro honestly means, cause the definition makes absolutely NO sense... other than that, yeah.....

Personally, I like #1 the best because it looks most like the current ToO style. I also like that it has the collapsable toolbox and well placed links and controls.

Retro: #1
Odyssey: #1
Origional: #4

Why is everyone complaining about the spacing on #2? The only thing I can see if that there's about 100px of space between the sidebar and the content, but that's not that awful.. O_o

(Go grayscale! $\:D/$ )

This is how Tyler defines Retro. (From the announcement of the styles contest)

I think #1 and #6 fit that category the best

.

And the spacing on #2 doesn't bug me at all. Although I do wish it was formatted better.

Most Odyssey Inspired
#2 (although I must say the navigation is slightly annoying

)

Most Original
#4

Most Retro
#5 (grayscale remake), but #1 and #6 both remind me of the default ToO style right now.

As I said too at the end of the first post, designers are still making some edits. So that gap that some had an issue with may no longer exist.

The gap is gone!? Oh no! I want to rescind my vote now!

Could someone please remove the bright red background in the header of #2?

If so, then I'll vote for you.

Post by **Eugene** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 9:58 pm

Everyone please note that I will be changing the header of my style (#1). That was just a quick thing that I put together as a place-holder. The new one should be up by Thursday at the latest.
Thanks!

Ooh... I haven't submitted my vote yet, and I may choose that one if it has a really good header. $\:D/$
