Today I've started working on a style heavily inspired by Facebook Developers and bits 'n pieces of Facebook groups. It's based on Vanilla's default style. This is what I have so far:
I guess it'll take me a couple of days to finish it. Hope you'll like it ;]
Oh! And it's codename is VanFacebook. -
Nice, very simple and elegant.

My intention was to make a style out of it, but not everything I wanted to do was achievable only with CSS. So this is going to be a theme. I've done only some minor changes to the default theme so there shouldn't be any problems regarding the functionality of extensions. -
awesomeness this is soooo cooool
man this is soo cool
great job
when do you think you will be finished with it? -
I'm afraid it won't be until next week. I don't have much time right now :|
-
oh i see
well that is still cool
awesome
i can't wait seriously
this has got to be one of the coolest themes we have ad so far
can't wait

Awesome! This is a great theme really showcasing Vanilla's versatility. Any chance of adding color variations as well? Does it use any proprietary fonts? -
you could prabably edit it your self, if you wanted to add colors and stuff, cuz i think the theme is meant to be like that , (simple looking)
very nice -
Great job. Very much like Facebook's interface. Hopefully, they won't get too uptight about you basing a style of their's and come for you.

Hmmmm, they do say "imitation is the best form of flattery" however it won't hold up in a court of law!
-
awesome! great theme.

I think it looks great, and somehow far nicer than Facebook's layout, nice one!

Well, unless you just downloaded the images and renamed the CSS to match Vanilla's (blatant copying), I think it'll be alright... Might want to take a look at FB's copyrights though. -

Can't wait! -
Bad news - my laptop's overheating and I guess I'll have to send it for repair :/
-
aaa i see
well then we will have to wait some more
it is all cool
umm when do you think you will have it done by now? -
It's almost finished. I encourage you to test it at dkdev.pl/vanilla/. Please note that I've tested it only on Firefox and now I'm starting to apply fixes for other browsers. Nevertheless, I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions.
-
looks nice! good job!
comments & suggestions:
- play with a couple of users with different username length, may be you see more issues then
- in the discussion list, there isn't the "new" section, to say how many new comments are in the discussion?
- in the comments page, play also with user icons, the "administrator" gets cut by the comment header
- the code text could be wrapped?
- in the account page, the discussions started field in the user information area falls of the line
and that's all, take it as a constructive comment, because for the rest of the style it just looks great ;) -
The information about new comments in a discussion will appear when you apply for membership.
As I wrote before, it's almost finished :D and there might be huge display problems in browsers other than Fx. It'd be really helpful if you could tell me which browser you're using and show a screenshot.
Oh, and I haven't played with CSS regarding code, blockquote, ul, ol etc., yet. There still are a few things that I'm aware of and need to be fixed, but those are minor problems and I thought the theme is ready for a debut and some beta testing. -
one thing
can you make the people.css look like the rest of the theme as well?
jw
thanks
very nice -
i'm using firefox too.
here some screenshots about the issues i commented before:
- the username length
- the role cut in the comments page
- the account page
hope it helps! -
umm
what program are you using there? -
in the first screenshot? it's firebug, an extension of firefox to play with html-js-css of the pages you view
is quite useful ;) -
very nice
i gotta get me that
thanks -
@Hamed: Yes, people.css will also be modified.
@miquel: Doesn't Ubuntu have Tahoma font?! The font-family I'm using all over the theme isfont-family: "lucida grande",tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif
and I can see from the screenshots you provided that everything is displayed in Verdana (?). Guess I need to widen a few blocks :] -
mmm, dunno, where can i check it?
but i think mine doesn't :P -

miquelthe code text could be wrapped?
SoftWrap does that; I wouldn't include it in the theme, as some people may not want that. -

Wow, this looks great! One thing that needs mentioning though: this is a theme. I tried to apply it as a style to Lussumo Community and bad things happened ;)
No complaints from me. Just another thing to keep in mind regarding miquel's "account page" issue: Since Vanilla allows custom fields to be added to a user's account, there is no way to determine how long the field name will be. I suggest making the style able to span multiple lines. Probably not an easy task but just simply resizing the name column is not going to fix the bigger problem.
Awesome work! I'll keep watching :) -
Yes, this is a theme (I guess I mentioned it a few posts earlier), highly modified in some areas. I've edited the topic of this discussion - might've been misleading :]
As for new (long) labels on the account page, I thought I manged to find a good way to display them, but as you pointed out, I was wrong :] No worries! Those are only minor problems.
But I must admit... as this is my first theme/style, the CSS file is quite messy :/ Now I know it's always better to write from scratch rather than modify someone else's stylesheet. -

I can't definitively say this (because I haven't seen all the Vanilla themes/styles), but this is the best theme I've seen to date. Seriously, well done. -
Thank you, it's always nice to hear that someone likes my work. I hope I'll be able to wrap this up in a few days and finally release it :]
-
yeah i can't wait
^_^ -
Very nice... calming and familiar ;-)
See some minor issues on IE 7 (menu bar highlight missing).
Looks good on Opera 9.5 and Safari 3.1 (both windows) -
