@matt, I wasn't really serious about my entry.

On the other hand, that might be the most accurate.......

Yeah, I kinda knew that, but I liked the "brick in the wall" reference.

Maybe you want to create an announcement for this so that people are aware of this?

This should be titled Smashing CAD Barriers!

That's a really cool logo Krysztof, and the slogan is also really good!

Krzysztof Szpakowski · Wed Apr 28, 2021 7:58 am

Thanks Alex.
I don't remember if I wrote in the old forum that I used to have a small advertising agency. At that time, I got infected with 3D. It ended with my marriage (not 3D - company).
As for the slogan. I think most of us here are above programmers. Primo: We find ways to do something that is impossible for them. Secundo: The customer should be at the top. DSS forgets about it.

Ok, I updated the voting to include @Krzysztof Szpakowski entry. Remember, you can change your vote, and you've got until Monday.

**AAARRRGGGGHHHH**** Adding the poll reset all the vote tallies.

If we make this our logo we might be able to get sponsorship from the makers of the little blue pill!

Possible captions for this picture:
WTF?!
Are you kidding me?!
Is this the cover for the YMCA album remake?
Oh that's just great! Another thing to get my kid to program for me!
What is i to the i power? We didn't cover that in the math I took.
Is this the new Stargate portal?

Thanks to everyone for submitting images and for voting. @Zhen-Wei Tee is the winner! Congrats, @Zhen-Wei Tee

Next, I'll incorporate the image into the installed themes.

Thanks again!

Something is wrong with the header layout (chrome.)

To change the board style may help.
Under "User Control Panel"

matt · Unread post by **matt** » Tue May 04, 2021 9:33 am

Yeah, some of the themes don't work well with the new header. Purplexion, Prosilver, Supernova, Carbon, Flat, Chester Blue, clean silver

Quantum Codex seems to ignore the new header.

Recommended themes are Elegance, Breeze, Prolight is ok. The best in my opinion is Elegance, followed by Flat. I like Breeze, but it doesn't show titles for post responses, just for the original post. So if the title changes somewhere along the way, you will miss that.

We may have to trim out some of these themes.

What has happened is that I've used an extension to change the header, which works across multiple themes. If I hadn't done that, I would need to go into each theme's files and edit the php code, which would be a lot more work.

bnemec · Unread post by **bnemec** » Tue May 04, 2021 10:16 am

For what it's worth, I'm using Flat Style Gold:
- the links: Board Index, Board Business, etc. are dead, just plain text.
- Looks nice though
- new google search tool (part of the banner) is dead
- the link: https://cadforum.net/index.php in the image does work.

SPerman · Unread post by **SPerman** » Tue May 04, 2021 10:34 am

I wish the themes just changed colors, not the entire layout.

Within the Elegance theme, there are several color schemes. Flat also has blue and gold options.

It's not really a chalkboard, but yeah, that was kind of the general idea. For Christmas, put up some Christmas images, for special events, change the header image. Somebody gets married, we can change it to black.

It's really a swatch of scratched up steel, which I thought might make designers feel at home, and it's kind of generic color which might not clash with some themes.

VicFrauenfeld · Tue May 04, 2021 11:11 am

@matt, what about a brick wall? We can use it to smash our heads against (because the software is not functioning correctly, not because of this forum).

Wait! That might damage computer monitors, better not do that!

Thanks for all you do on this site. It is greatly appreciated.

jcapriotti · Unread post by **jcapriotti** » Tue May 04, 2021 11:44 am

@matt Darn it, I thought it might be an interactive onscreen chalkboard where we could draw inappropriate drawings for everyone to enjoy.

I showed everyone else how to use the Indent functionality before, but I can run through it again for you.

For example,

Code: Select all

[indent]12[/indent] Text that you want indented 12 pixels

gives you
Text that you want indented 12 pixels

This information also shows up in the tool tip for the indent function.

It isn't microsoft or word perfect. The number is the number of pixels you want to indent the text after the closing /indent. It's not perfect, it's not ergonomic, it's phpbb. Slightly more user friendly than html and an additional acronym you can put on your resume

Fun, huh?

jcapriotti · Unread post by **jcapriotti** » Tue May 04, 2021 6:45 pm

Everyone, don't forget to buy your pixel ruler for proper indents.

Just so long as you aren't more than 18" away from the screen...any further than that and you'll need a 16k monitor...

Which image would you like to see used as a logo in the forum's header?
