xdadevs yellow is ugly

by far this is the ugliest forum i've ever used in my life. the yellow is dull and brown is just... brown. how come there are no other themes to choose from? is that a part of the whole phone geek persona... a dull looking forum? i mean, come on, even hofo is blue and vibrant. hey admin, can we get some color over here!
xda-devs = the seattle of forums

Excellent point! I'm not sure what they were thinking to use yellow & brown. I vote to change these to something more vibrant and cool!

light blue color would be better.
(remember microsoft did quite a good research before adopting the color in winxp)
and yes, yellow is just too much here.
can we have other colors please

haha i think xda now is good colours already no need to change

Keep the colours
Just because everyone else seems to use bright colours on their forums is not a reason to do the same here. I like the look of this site.

The Colors here are just fine. No need to change anything there.

leave it like it is

yellow and brown makes you think of cake???
it makes me think of poo and pee... xdadevs is a great forum but its the dirty toilet bowl of the web. lets clean it up.

yra colors blow.. green theme would be nice.. neowin.net has some cool colors to choose from

I would say stick to the current layout. First it separates itself by using this color. There are no issues reading the threads and posts. Unlike some cool black forums with gray fonts.
If the XDA community forum should be changed I think it would be best to start cleaned the threads and crank up the quality of the forum like it was over a year ago

I never gave it much thought. But now that you ask, Mmm, Ahh, Keep it the way it is.

Ah, come on mike. We all know Freud was full of...well...the picture you posted.

Color and design is not as important as content and easy load site.
If we want a nice flashy site it would be very slow...
leave it as it is now, it works great!!

Although I'm not very fond of yellow/brown, it's quite unike to xda, and therefor we should keep it. It works fine with text as well.
What would be great though, is to restructure the forum. Rethink what we need, and fit the page according to those needs.
There should be a difference between commenting and replying a post.
Relevance is the key to this jungle.

I like these colors http://blownfuze.org/
By the way ,if you have a fuze, this a very informative site brought to you in a very entertaining way.

Had too didn't ya
With re: Post i have to agree with orb3000 the forum isn't about looks it's about information and boi it holds alot of that....
Could be black with white text hay Denko7 it'd look just like the eye bogling blinding link you provided

I think the forum is a*s ugly. The colors are horrid. BUT it does have a clear contrast that you can tell what is what by first looks. I especially hate forums that are dark with bright fonts, and I feel that the theme on this site serves its purpose, as long as you dont eat right before browsing.
I say to keep the colors as they are, because it works, its easy to read, just a bit ugly. And that I can live with.

One of my first thoughts on my original arrival is this place is freaking ugly. Yet, the info I needed and wanted was here and it has grown on me. I love me some xda.

i agree too

Soooooooooooooo Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, hope it'll became true

Now that is SEXY! Makes my HD2 look down right boring, love the lines which flow so perfectly down..............oops I forgot I was describing a phone, you definitely made a stunning concept! Well done.................................cheers.

Thanks! I might make another concept for a 3.7" device depending on the reception of this one.

Respect! Your Photoshop skills are amazing, far beyond my possibilities.
Edit: I truly didn't see your last post, so do not think I said that with sympathy. My render also didn't get much attention, so don't be dissapointed.
Edit 2: Being featured on the XDA portal soon.

Not only is this beautiful and elegant -- but the reason I am QUOTING is because I *did* go visit your page to read about your thoughts as well as see the comments written THERE too.
This comment both cracked me up and was sheer brilliance... But if you don't know the reference it would fly right over a person's head and be totally wasted. SO, just to help make the point really CLEAR, i will translate it afterwards. The comment itself is EPIC:
Jukah I feel like Bugsy at the opening of the Flamingo.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To really appreciate what the commenter is saying here, you have to know this is Bugsy Malone he is referring to -- a gangster in the USA, who saw an empty place in the desert land in Nevada (a state in the USA not too far from California) and envisioned on this empty barren land, with no highways around, no cities around, no nothing -- he envisioned a city in the middle of this desert -- which would be a place where military people and others could come to get inexpensive enterainment....
Everyone thought he was NUTS! Who the hell wants to come to this sh*thole in the desert, Bugsy? he said "you'll see after I've built my first casino here"... and he drew up plans with architects for "The Flamingo" -- an iconic marker now for the original LAS VEGAS, the city, the gambling, the culture, the entire state of mind that he created --- casting his gaze out across the barren landscape of the desert.
The photo above is from when the Flamingo first opened... proving all the doubters wrong.
And now, just for further context... A reminder that once things are indeed built, bigger is not always better, iPadius Jobius.
Las Vegas strip, today.

Awesome design!Realy like it.I'm not a fan of the fisical keyboard but device looking like this I'd gladly use

Even better, here's the scene, in the film BUGSY, directed by the great Barry Levinson, Bugsy played by Warren Beatty, film nominated for 10 Academy Awards.
Fast Forward if you like to 3:09 to jump to the heart of the scene in the desert:

[THEME] Memeticα WIP

This is a personal project to see how far you can take Android theming.
So far this theme is still WIP, and I won't release anything before all the icons in the status bar is themed. Graphics is done by Fritjof, the second half of Coly design.

Since he don't have an android phone and I only got a Legend it would be nice if someone would try out this theme on some other devices. Just PM me if you're interested in becoming a tester.
to be done before initial beta release:
theme all icons in status bar
getting it tested on different devices

im not tryin to knock the op ( no seriously im not ) but the wally is prolly avail thru google images or deviant art, the launcher can be found via launcherpro.com and the clock is avail thru the forums.
i understand the point .. but nothing is really "amazing" about this theme.
looks like another rendition of the simplistic psd's that were released.

To each their own, what u may find mundane another would describe as amazing. It doesn't have to have the most eye candy, but a well thought and flowing theme which in my opinion this does. Each person is entitled to their opinion and mine is that this is an amazing theme. Simple and clean.

So amazing for you is if I built my own launcher, clock and the whole Android UI?
Of course have I used other applications to skin, that's by far the easiest method.
And nothing is "stolen", it's made by hand - even the wallpaper is
edit: what about these themes? They also uses Launchers you can download on the internet and clocks and widgets as well. I suppose they are nothing special then?

@ KnightMAREcrow : exactly, its just a matter of opinion. we are all entitled.
@ Briix : first and foremost as i mentioned, it wasnt to stir anything up, as i will reiterate its just a matter of opinion and as i said in this case, i wasnt wowed. Now going forward and if in fact you'd like to be technical, no those works didnt wow me either. OH and never once did i mention that any of the items were stolen i simply said all items or something extremely similar can be found via the internuts.
mentioning you made all by hand really does nothing for me either..CONGRATS, you have a good amount of time on ur hands.
Now as i mentioned, and clearly was speaking in reference to two of the three links posted, they are merely differentiations of the original psd's released. which is where "i" see this was "looking"
do u need to recreate the wheel, no. Do u need to simply add different treading maybe a thicker whitewall and have a longer life span to make it better..yes! What i consider "special" may be mere childs play to another. U sitting there and taking all to heart is pointless..never once said i didnt like, just wasnt amazed.

cool, to each their own.

back to topic. what interest me the most is the status bar. its as its a true "minimal" i have a g1 and i would gladly support you in any way i can (cept cash)

This looks really interesting and very nice!
Let me know if you would like to have som additional testing on a Legend, i own one and would be glad to help you out.

please peeps with an EVO test this, so it'll be released for it!

this looks like it could become a pretty nice theme. i'm looking forward to it.

sorry guys, but this might take a little longer than expected because the battery goes to unknown state after I updated my ROM.

hey!!
1st i REALLY... like ur thingy there xD its kinda kwl and simple
and i am really into tasting this on my nexus one
can u send me it ??? PLEASE ?!?!?!
thanks!!

Take your time Briix, looking forward to this when ready

Ill test on EVO. I'm sure ill have to resize the graphics, but since its so matte and flat it should Be easy

Definitely willing to help testing! Using HTC Magic 32B - MDPI. Better start on those Nandroids

Android sucks!

Ok everyone. I tricked you. Obviously from my posts yall know I love Android. However when you saw this title I bet you wanted to argue with me about it. Well guess what. I have a website I just launched where you can do just that. Informal Debates is a debate community and I desperately need people who want to join the site. I come here because I know you guys know your stuff (about Android at least) and I trust you guys. If you want to join, please do http://www.informaldebates.com
Oh and Toast, please forgive me for stepping out of line. I know this isn't specifically Android based but I figured this may help slow down some of the inter debating that goes on here. If you want to delete I understand don't blame you but this is my reasoning.
MOD EDIT: Moved this to off-topic for you, as it fits better in there than in one device forum

How can you be desperate for users if you just launched the site? I would study SEO and get effective keywords running through a sitemaps xml file to get crawled if you want users. After that's setup submit it into the search engines. Many of them.

Not desperate but I just want people to use the site. I have seo measures in place, though I do need to set up meta tags for the dynamic pages. I just figure this is one way to get people interested. Besides even good seo takes a month to see any results.

I find it fun to debate about anything including politics. But that's why you have the choice. And though you're technically correct the term liberal meant something completely different back then. I don't hate anyone. Except Nancy Pelosi

I agree, in the past ten years or so, at least in the U.S. this has been one of the worst fads. Listen to hit music, its all about clubbin and the "imma do me" thing. Incredibly selfish, but to each his own i guess.

Being a relatively new member, you have not had the time to really aquatint yourself with how things work around here. We have an off topic section for a reason. Things that do not pertain to a specific device or are just rants like these, do not belong in the device forums. It was not wrong of the moderator to move your post, he was doing his job.
Also, disrespecting a moderator will result in a temp ban so I advise you to be more considerate. kthks.
