I know many of you aren't fans of the black/yellow design, so if you have a better idea for the site (or just for this topic viewing page) fire away here!

personally, i find it the best, it is easiest to read, and least harsh of all so far.

I too like the yellow on black a lot, though I'm not against you adding more, purely because I LOVE the snarkpit getting more and more developed for some reason.

...Is that really sad? [addsig]

Not really. Would be interesting to see how this site develops. Alot of the best mappers hang around here so in the future I could see this place being some uber 1337 underground hiding place [addsig]

quite a few of the best mappers left hang out here myrk..

as much as i love this site, which i sincerely hope there is no doubt of.... snarkpit has a fairly small percentage of the best mappers out there... sadly i feel only due to the games age.

a small portion though is due to our attitudes on mapping, which i helped to instill.. most of the major mappers think of themselves as elite to the area, and we promote all levels of experience.

i would never change our attitudes on that point, but it does keep our cadre' somewhat smallish.

But we are also creating a new generation of mappers. We are US. Besides, when HL2 comes out within the next 10 years or so maybe we'll have more mappers then. And Snarkpit will thrive.

As for the theme issue, I love this black yellow greenish. I've browsed the other ones once and didnt much like them, but to everyone their tastes

I think the other ones could be great (particularly the retro blue and white...ah the memories ) but they aren't very well implemented at the moment, they just don't seem to work properly.

I'd say VERC seems to have a higher percentage of the "1337" mappers still working with the HL engine - in other words the Natural Selection mappers, Nightwatch mappers, etc... However here at the snarkpit we have a great variety of skill levels and yet everyone takes everyone's opinions on board. I've no great experience of the VERC community, but from what I've seen, it can't match what we have here [addsig]

Its not so much a "lets get rid of the black and yellow colour scheme" more an option to view it different colours for people who dont like black.. [addsig]

Indeed, black is certainly full of benefits, such as being easy on the eyes, and providing a great background for viewing screenshots against. But that doesn't mean some people wouldn't like a new theme... [addsig]

I like the themes. As an afterthought, People only use black or white backgrounds on their site, other colours look garish. [addsig]

What Reno said, I'm not getting rid of it at all. Just thinking about adding new optional ones is all, and was hoping someone would design something in Paint/Photoshop and post a concept pic Be nice to have a decent white-background theme, mainly.

When you say photoshop a new theme, do you mean like... take a screenshot of a thread page, then alter it in a way that looks nice, and has a light background? What kind of constraints are there? Do you want them for condensed or normal view, and does this even matter?
