Please vote and feel free to post any thoughts you may have about this theme. We'll leave it up for a few days so people can see it, spend a little time using it, offer suggestions and good/bad points.

I voted "not really fond of it" only because the low contrast color scheme makes it more difficult to view. Aside from colors, I like the features a lot (e.g., text labeled buttons).

I guess what I should point out is that we are looking for features for the graphic artist to work with. I am not a huge fan of the dark colors in this one but I do like the shapes, the layout abd especially the "New Post" indicator in the menu.

These templates will not be the end product, but a good starting place for what will eventually be Multitool.org. So feel free to nitpick! That's exactly what we are looking for.

I like it!
Both the layout and the colour scheme, I actually find it easier to read.
Now do I have to remember 'Cerberus' for a future vote?

I'll include screenshots with the poll when we vote on them so you don't have to write it down and keep it in a safe place!

My problem is, I don't like anything on my computer screen to be "different." I got used to the previous theme, so now Cerberus seems too weird.

Knowing that about myself, I will wait a few days before voting, to see if the weirdness wears off.

I voted yes I like it, but as soon as I logged on, I thought I opened AR15.com LOL it looks real similar. I guess the nicest difference so far is the tabs and screen layout, it is not so "blocky" and gives it an overall more inviting "curb appeal"

There are lots of things I like about this one- it's not as dark as some but it does still seem a little dark. At any rate, as I said, the point of all this is to give the designer some ideas of what we like and don't like.

Keep it coming guys!

I like it! Not sure about how it's going to affect my eyes after looking at it for a while though...

I like the new post indicators.

Oh, and don't ever, I mean EVER, get rid of the "Show unread posts since last visit" link. If you do, me and my Tough "to open" Tool will be paying you a visit........

We have one of those? Man there is so much to this place I can't keep track of it all!

I like the layout, but is it possible to make a few shades lighter??

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #11 on:** November 13, 2006, 02:25:16 PM

It is entirely possible... remember, these are to just give the designer ideas....

I like it but you should have sent out an email warning or something!i thought I was in the wrong place, that my moniter was dead or that I should be calling 911
