The first people have made use of our theme dev kit, and here's the time to list them. You can change these in your site profile (http://pkmn.net/?action=profile&page=siteoptions).
First, Blake has created Forum Harmony, a pleasant grey theme that fits with the forum style.
Second, Dragonpika has created both Rayquaza and Shaymin theme, Pokemon themed, one a cool black and the other a (self-described girlish) green and pink.
Try them, enjoy them, and look how pretty they are even on the forums.
WOW.The Rayquaza one.Dragonpika,I salute you.I'll probably get started tomorrow~
It is exceptionally girly x3
I'm loving the Harmony one that Blake made, it works really well with the forums. Nice work!
And thanks for the new kit, Jeroen =] these are such fun to make.
EDIT: and thanks, Super Paper Arwing ^_^ glad you like it~
Though the old banner with the non-logo text appears to have been included o.o
not complaining :B but I can send the logo-ified one in if you've lost it, Jeroen.
Apparently when I say rename, Windows Explorer... doesn't. It's fixed.
-chuckle- You've changed Shaymin's banner as well, that one now has no text at all =P
Then I'm pretty sure you send me the wrong files, as I uploaded them as I got them. At least for the Rayquaza, this was the file you sent me last.
As the Shaymin was the only one with a seperate logo, I thought that went wrong. You didn't specify.
I've chosen to use the Shaymin theme because I find it the most appealing. =]
Shush, it's not that girly. >.>
Thanks for these guys. ^^
I just tried out all three themes.
...Yeah, the logo on the Shaymin banner is DEFINATELY smaller, Kay.
And another theme has crawled out of a dark cave (but it looks good) - Halfwit's (or if you prefer, Mark's) Parasect theme!
These are lush, guys (I am using the Shaymin one) but I can't seem to get the Parasect one! :(
I like 'em all but I'm still attached to the V9 Red one xD ... And I can't seem to get the Parasect one either DX
parasect theme working fine here.
try deleting the cache of your browser.
Oh wow. I was just about to settle for the V9 theme when I tried out the Parasect one. I think I'm in love <3 Yeah, definitely going with Mark's.
Man I can't wait to see more as the come!
Ohwow... i could so enjoy making one of these. How would I go about this?
Swapped over to the Parasect theme... it's a nice change from the pink flowers I was looking at before. x3

go there, should be enough to get you started.
Made one a few days ago... how long is it likely to be before it's up?
It depends on when I have time to check it out and add it.
Sorry, been swamped with stuff at work and a few pressing matters here, so I haven't been getting around to all the site work that I need to do, especially since I also need some time off to recover and relax.
Fair enough.
I may start working on a few others and send them all together rather than sending an email each time. Doubtless i'll have made quite a few by the time i get bored
If people would do that, it would make my life easier :) These things are easier for me to do in bulk than one at a time (and, in the end, often do end up being me just uploading a batch when I have time)
I'll see whether I have time today, I'll at least begin setting it up, but I can't make promises on these things.
Shaymin skin :D
these are all really cool (but I'm picking Shaymin because I'm biased ^w^)
I may also create a skin too.
I wish i could alter the forum colours for it. Can do the bar above the profile where your name is displayed... but other than that it kinda loses the feel. Shame, but ah well.
Also, it looks like it's possble to alter the mantis page, but how do you get a preview?
Not that important for me who doesn't use it... but it'd be nice for those who do to see my banner and such.
There's no preview for Mantis and its customization is quite limited, so a preview page wouldn't say much. Also, it doesn't use your account details, so people won't see a different build there anyway. It's there for completeness.
e_e
um, I've made it, but where do I send it *clueless*

Fair enough. I guess I'll just leave it.

I shall refer you to Ms Kay's post:

Once you're finished, copy all the files you've changed back into the zipped folder and email it in to us at seniorstaff@pkmn.net =]
And for those who don't know... mine's up! <3
that rayquaza one is amazing. Are there any plans to reinstate the awful puns which make forum-trawling that little bit more light hearted (other than the Raichu one)
the images are static so it would be incredibly hard to get the themes showing that dynamic text.
you'd probably have to remake a whole bunch of different banners.
