As I've finished up Imperial (Other than any feedback that might or might not be changed), I'll probably start working on coding a new theme between custom jobs, and would like community input on which to begin. 1. xenDark (http://xenique.com/forums/threads/xendark-dark-sexy.262/) This is one of the darker styles I have done, and is a personal favorite (Was originally done for Xenique, then for XenFluence). 2. XenSleek (http://xenique.com/forums/threads/xensleek-a-myriad-of-colors.259/) This style is another that isn't ordinarily in my style, but I think it is quite nice. Will likely come in at least 2-3 colors. 3. Minimalism (http://xenique.com/forums/threads/minimalism-a-work-in-progress.316/) This was an experimental style that was really just ment to test out the Xenique Style Framework I was coding at the time. The intention was to remove the majority of styling from XenForo, and keep it as clean as possible. Will likely do this in a dark and a light version, or do a dark variant that is a bit heavier. The next two don't name, so they will be 'Unnamed 1' and 'Unnamed 2' respectively. 4. Unnamed 1 (http://xenique.com/forums/threads/name-these-styles.350/) This one will be another darker style, but not quite as dark as xenDark, nor as dark as Unnamed 2. There isn't really a set vision for the style, though I will likely ship it in several colors (orange, blue, and maybe another). 5. Unnamed 2 (http://xenique.com/forums/threads/name-these-styles.350/#post-3272) This isn't a very original piece, as it was originally started and re-purposed from a design a friend of mine did, though I've started adding my own style too it. As there aren't many dark sites, and there is just an obvious lack of purple designs, I thought I'd fill the void . I'll run this poll for a few weeks (The end of March at most), and will decide on the style I'll be doing after I get feedback from the community here. You can also do a request for a style not listed here, though it isn't a 100% sure thing that I'll do a new style not listed.
Besides the point! I want to get market opinion on the other styles so I can prioritize them. xenBook should probably be out this week for sure. We just need to do some testing on something to make sure it won't blow up the site, server or Paypal.
Unnamed 1 has been renamed to Octane . The plans for Octane are to allow easy changing of the color highlights (orange in the preview), and eventually support for the color changer when we get to that.
Girlfriend is starting a site (For god knows what), and wants to use Octane, so that one will be first . I'll be doing xenDark afterwards.
I want to suggest a Club & Disco & Party Style. Similar to the Cool Yule Style: http://xenique.com/forums/misc/style?style_id=43 with a Disco & Club Backround Image. I am looking for this since Months, but there is not such a Style for XenForo.
My style tends to be more minimalistic (I'm not a big fan of heavy graphical styles) with more of an emphasis of embellishments to add to the overall design.
