Hey guys!

Feld0, Cerb and I were working hard on a new theme that you people have been asking for ages for. Well, here it is! If you can't see it, click "change theme" at the bottom of the page and choose "The Wii U".

Tell us what you think!

Wow! This new theme is awesome! Thanks so much for doing this!

EDIT: I see a problem though. The edges of the top banner are cut off.

As I already said in the status update, the "with an awesome new theme" part is way too close to the edge and is upsetting the balance of the page.

We are working on it. Thanks for the compliment, though!

It... It's glorious.

The banner we have up top is mostly a placeholder - it's designed to be extremely easy to swap out, so I hope to get a new one put up there soon.

Putting a functional IP.Board theme together from Cerberus's and Keanu Riives's designs may look easy, but it came out to be a fairly challenging and quite time-consuming exercise in my CSS skills - the thing is, virtually nothing from the PSD's can be reused directly in the theme; everything has to be meticulously recreated in CSS.

This has been in the works more or less since Cerberus posted his first theme concept. Although there are still a few tweaks I'd like to make, I'm really glad to finally have a proper custom look for this place.

Looks badass! Just one problem, the same one that Auzzie mentioned in a status update, those yellow jaggies need a smoothening.

I just got here yesterday so I don't really recall the old theme. But as others have said, that top banner is way too wide for my MacBook screen and there is no horizontal scroll instigated when I load the page. I'm using Chrome for Mac.

Welcome! As feld0 said, it's a placeholder.

Honestly, I wish the new theme went all the way down. It looks nice, but the abrupt stop kills it for me.

[Auzzie Wingman]

^ Yeah, that's what I've also said. It isn't flush, and both the checkered element and the banner element collide badly. Heck, even something as basic as a Wii U Blue border to give off the effect of a box art or something corny like that would break the elements nicely.

We are still finishing it.. it's not 100% done! Thanks for the feedback, though.

Believe it or not, I was actually thinking of doing that.

Darn you guys are hard to please!

Excuse me for being a designer.

The feedback is appreciated.

I added a 6-pixel border to the bottom of the banner. You may need to do a hard refresh or clear your cache to see it. Does it look better?

Oh, didn't know that. Sorry.

That looks nice, feld0!

[Auzzie Wingman]

Yes, that looks so much better. The elements don't have to be flush this way.

HI FELDO! *hug*

Feld0, i've noticed that it doesn't do the border in threads...

Clear your cache. The same CSS file is used for the entire site.

[Auzzie Wingman]

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you've also reverted to the previous font.
