Well guys... I'm moving on tuesday and I still have a ton of stuffs to take care of beforehand. Sooo I'm going to release the theme as it is so far: http://testforum.jedd.ch/index.php
Consider it an alpha version. It still needs a ton of work but before I put more energy and time into this I need to be sure we're going the right way.

I'm still waiting on Necrod for the icons, and then sending the whole package to lgromanowski. Then you guys will be able to test it out, report bugs and give a real usage feedback.
My plan is then to keep on tweaking and optimizing as time goes by and, if possible, make a few modifications to the blog's code and design too. Bah, we shall see in due time. :roll:

Some texts are a bit too small but other than that it looks awesome, I would use it already.

Maybe we should put the blog and forum theme into a github repository so that optimizing it can be a collaborative effort.

Let Jedd finish his own release first. This is his baby after all.

Oh, it's not that. I'm just not proud of the code in its actual state. I was discovering PHPBB's structure as I was playing with it, and I had not done web development since like 2 years...

What's the status with Necrod and the icons? I notice the "new topic" button gets cut off when viewing a forum.

Yeah all current custom buttons are pretty off. Their sizes need to be set up in ACP
I'm still trying to figure out what to do about the icons

Its installed! YAY :)

Here are some issues I (and pvdk) noticed:

- There seems to be no link to the "view active topics" page ( search.php?search_id=active_topics )
- The "Jump to latest unread post in a topic" button is gone
- In a topic, the currently selected page can't be seen clearly
- Link colors (at least visited links) melt with the post background color. Hard to see.

The dark buttons are great, btw.
