3.2 Square Edges.....

Featured Replies

Posted

First off I will say I love 3.2 and cant' wait to use it... but the style does need a little love to make it better imo....

3.1 had such nice rounded corners etc... now 3.2 has a mix of square and some round.. just doesn't fit imo.

Anyway here are some shots after about 5 minutes playing with it, I will be doing this to all of my sites and I wish it was the default look as its' much more pleasing to the eyes.

Can't say I like the look of rounded corners on this skin at all where you have added them.

Plus you have to remember, rounded corners can make your site load slower.

I think the default skin needs to be uglier. If IPS made it just how everyone wants it then nobody would customize it.

I like the way you've styled the sidebar headers, but I disagree on the tabs.

round corners crash browsers.. so its a big NO.

So you guys really like the square edges? ok.... I guess I'm old fashion.... lol

and I don't have to worry about my sites loading times.... they are all on proper dedicated servers.

Not real browsers they don't........ get with the times it's 2011 :wink: they work just fine with a good browser. They are also all over the place on 3.2.... but not as much as 3.1.

Since when do rounded corners crash a web browser? o.0

it makes sites loading slow ..eventually crash browsers on celeron processors.

Personally I like the rounded tabs for the Forums, etc. at the top.

Not sure about the darker sidebar. I mean, it's something I'd have to see and work with to get a feel for.

No.

Rounded corners are done by CSS. What browsers does this supposedly crash and do you have any proof to back up these statements?

I do have a rounded corner fetish, but imo you made it look bad.

Welcome to 6 years ago!




Exactly, welcome to 6 years ago... anyone using a browser version that is 6 years old... should shut off their computer and walk away..... It's not an issue in 2011

Your sites may be on a dedicated server but many people still use shared hosting for their forums and those people are probably also on a over sold server.

I don't agree that rounded corners, done only in CSS, will cause browser issues. However, I prefer to leave them out.

Edgy looks better :cool:

you can afford dedi server and new pc. Mostly 70% people have old pc and shared hosting. We spend such money on family rather than new PC to browse a forum.

Maybe they should save their $150 and $25 every six months for a new pc rather to build a forum their computer can barely browse?

Now please get out of the year 2005 and get in the year 2011, kthxbai, stoopad troll.

My PC is 4 years old and works just fine...... but I build it right when I did... so it's still running strong. Having a new PC has nothing to do with running current software either.

You must be living in a third world country that just got the internet and is still on dial up right?

Anyway here are some shots after about 5 minutes playing with it.

I am so glad the screenshots were not as revealing as I thought they were going to be LOL.

Seriously though, I like square corners better.

Arguing that rounded corners slow down a website or crash a browser in this day and age is absolute nonsense.

This is purely a cosmetic issue, and personally, the squared navigation tabs fit very nicely with this skin.
