MArcomage

I vote skin selection by user. That way at least we can "customize" the site a little. To be honest, the best way for this to run would be through flash but that might be too much of an overhaul...

Here is a in-game draft http://delo.dcs.fmph.uniba.sk/~fendek/light_game_draft.png

Another suggestion: Move the cards in-game closer together. :)

With the buttons and the cards themselves all pronounced with shadow effects, the images of the towers and walls look alarmingly flat.

NOO! It's brightness!
It BURNS to my eyes!
:-P

Gotta say it looks a lot more modern. Personally I prefer darker shades (so Im in favor of choice).

Furthermore I agree that the items from current design fit poorly in this fancy-one.

Some more drafts:

I would favor an old looking style, a style that fits to might and magic.

Yeah, like in M&M7. Before you choose your side your gamescreen is brown, whether you choose the path of light or dark, you're gamescreen turns white/blue or black/red. Just a suggestion.

Woah! OUCH! I'm sorry but I absolutely HATE everything about the new design! My fault for not being involved in this thread I guess ^^


Please have an option to keep the old?

We have to get used to it^^
Everything so round...
but if you miss the old colours, go to settings and choose the "old theme (dark)" skin.
And choose a background for the games! without one it really looks awefull. I currently have fairy castle which is quite nice.

The blue card title is hard for me to read ie) "Guard Tower" "Nightmare"

edit: I should mention i use Chrome

to planegray: Please send screenshot (and browser version).

After posting i changed my Skin Selection to Old Theme (dark) and i am unable to get the hard to read card titles to return while in any of the other themes. Basically it used the same font/shadowing as "New Card".

Not an issue anymore, thanks anyways :)

Chrome 2.0.172.43

I've tried and tried and I just hate it all :P

Couldn't you fix so there's just a plain black background? No special colors or features?

I know it may seem dull, but I'm a bit colorblind, and with too much in the layout it's really distracting :P

To Myschly:

Of course. We can add more skins if necessary. Just try to describe it in more detail. I can then make some draft, post ot here and we can discuss it ;)

As it was before? XD I really enjoyed the simple layout. I'd be happy to just have the background that's in the top of "old theme (dark)" everywhere. Also having the "New card", and "Played mode 3" in a box as it was before.


Another idea if it's not too demanding could maybe be that players* could upload their own custom image, saved only for their account or something?


* - Might have to be a feature preserved to "power players".

Alright, I will try to make one skin as close to old layout as possible.

Uploading custom background images was a feature I was considering, but unlike avatars, such pictures are much bigger, so there would probably be a capacity problem. From the practical perspective, it is better implemented this way. However you may submit some background pictures you would like to add as backgrounds. Start a new thread about new backgrounds and discuss it with other players.

Thanks!


The custom idea was just something I thought of for other people. I was thinking more along the lines of a tiled idea. So the picture's just maybe 200x200pixels at most, and then it's tiled and makes a pattern. Might be too much work for too little return tho'.

I have to agree with Myschly, I liked the old theme much more.
So if you could make one like the one we had before, I would really appreciate it :D

Nice color combo: Bleu (Dark) colourset with Wolf as background picture. :-)
(Most pictures dont really fit the colors, to my eyes'opinion.)
