Tango anyone?

[IchBin]

Finally.... I have a screen shot of my theme named Tango that I've been working on for quite some time. I'm having some problems getting it to do what I want. But I WILL SUCCEED!! Here's a screenshot for everyone to take a look at. Funny thing is, I thought I would have the toughest time with PHP. It's not too hard to do the basic stuff so far. The biggest P.I.T.A. is all the buttons and graphics that go into something like this.... I don't know how close I am to release so don't ask. I haven't decided how much I want to modify boardindex and stuff so we'll see.

Ok, so I just had an epiphany... lol
I had a problem with my header having a Userbox, Statsbox, and a Newsbox. What I was trying to do is get it to only show the UserInfo and Stats box (taking up the full width) unless News was enabled. Then it would show three boxes. Trying to get it to do that with an "if" statement making sure the right code was being dropped was a little confusing for me. Just got it after posting here a bit ago. The only thing I have left to do is make a ton of buttons and icons. I might just steal some of Bloc's icons if he don't mind?

OH!!  I will Tango with you anytime
Same feling i got when i first saw the amber theme.

I love the soft colours and i think itÂÃ,´s going to be nice or the eyes to rest on.

Good work IchBin

Very nice IchBin.  The name kinda scared me a bit, thought it would be too orange. But this is a nice hint of orange, on an easy on the eyes background.

A tip for buttons:  If you have photoshop, make a .psd of a blank button, maybe 3 widths, then just add the text as a text layer, and save a .gif with different texts. Keep all the text layers with the different texts in the .psd file.

I believe there are about 48 buttons for a TP v.8 theme!

Thanks Bob! I plan on releasing the .psd files with it.
If anyone wants to take a look, feel free to on my testing site. Just don't panic that the site looks like TinyPortal.net for those of you who don't know it is a test layout for Bloc. http://www.tmrules.com/beta/
Just a little note: It's not built for TinyPortal yet, so navigation is a little fubar when you're trying to browse it. You can select the theme in the theme selector. I'm almost done with the SMF version. Conversion for TP will be a breeze.

Nice, but i think your orange bars are too bright. Distracting... maybe a orange/grey fade, instead of a orange/white.

How's this theme coming along?

I haven't had a chance to touch it. Right now, I'm out of town for the week. Hopefully I will have it done by the end of the month.
