The Dojo

[Aiden]

What are your thoughts on it? I personally think it is a good design and stuff but sticking with Site Skin! ;)

[David]

i like it, fnx elliot
not too keen on the logo but cant complain

[SackRace]

not bad

[Jordan]

I quite like it actually. Some of the links seem to remind me of Windows 8 and how large and bold they are. Nice!!

[Red]

I wish the banner at the top wasn't so big and some of the writing is too large for my liking! but it is nice and feels more modern.

[hamheyelliot]

Thanks for giving us feedback on the skin, it's the first vB skin I've put in production and I want to improve on the things you guys don't like - and find out what you do like!

Be as honest as you like and I can spend more time on the things that you feel need improvement. It's a bit more daring in terms of larger sizes and design etc.

[dbgtz]

It's OK but I'll be sticking with Classic.

This pretty much,

but I do really like it :]!!

[orientalframe?]

it's nice but i'll probably stick to the skin i'm using currently :P

It's very nice and clean, good job :)

[Mark]

I really like it, going to make it my default for a while :P

[Hollie]

I really like it but think the banner at the top's a bit big but other than that it's really nice :P

[David]

text boxes are a little hard to see, i had to click around to find it :(. can they have a darker outline or something? hamheyelliot;

[FlyingJesus]

I don't really like the top links being centred, think it makes it look a bit disjointed and would look better left-aligned to match up with the edge of the rest of the page, but otherwise it's ok yeah. Still gonna stick with site 2010 though

No problem, will sort the forms out fully tonight!

The size of the banner has now been chopped down, and if you've filled out your Habbo details in your User CP, it will appear in the top left instead of Matt, a nice suggestion from Mr Kieran.

[Chris]

I think its a great skin, I realy like the mix of habbo and non-habbo. Good job! :)

[mrwoooooooo]

any way of changing it so its as wide as the site skin 2011?

and the logo moving up when hovering over it is pointless

[David]

no dont change the width it's fine as it is

just an fyi - The 'icon legend' part hasnt been changed :P

[Tom]

Ok, thoughts.

I quite like it, but as soon as I saw it I was more like "Oh, right..." instead of "Oh my gosh, this is amazing!".

I'm not a big fan of the "banner" (HabboxForum bit) but I do like the fact the Habbos seem to have super powers. I like the width, so make sure you keep that - and I like the text, woo ok.

Overall: not certain yet, I'll see if it grows on me.

[hamheyelliot]

A lot of people wanted to hang onto the wider forum on the older skins, that's why it made it to the new skin.

The logo hover is just a little bit of interaction, it's noted that you don't think it's entirely necessary though.

Thanks! Forgot about that, that should be fixed tonight.

Thanks for all the feedback!

It's always a bit difficult going into a new skin design, as on Habbox there's definitely a mix of those who like the non-habbo skins and those who like the older, colourful Habbo skins too.

It's a near impossible task to please everyone so that's why I went for something a bit lighter on Habbo features but still nice and colourful, hopefully this thread exists to get a bit more feedback on what makes a good skin in people's respective opinions for the future!

[mrwoooooooo]

might be better if it goes down instead of up

[Mikey]

I actually really like it, I'll be using it from now on. :)

[Chippiewill]

I think the section titles on the index should be 13px rather than 14px (And in other similar locations, 14px really does feel too big), but other than that I really like it. Somehow's feels non-habboey yet feels like a skin for a habbo fansite.

[geo]

i think it's pretty good and i'll be using it for the time being, it's nicer than the one i used before :P

[hamheyelliot]

Great :) It's going to be improved gradually over the next week so keep an eye out!

[Chippiewill]

I think border-radius:10px is a bit much, looks slightly better at 5px in my opinion.

[Sloths]

Everything just seems too big. Looks like from the thread the top header part has already been made smaller but it still looks too big for me and the text in a lot of places looks too big and slightly ugly. I do love the top white navbar though but the blue background is a little boring, it does look okay though just not woo-ing imo :)

[Chippiewill]

The poll box has 50px margin LR for some reason, I don't think it's needed.

Edit: Editing preview box doesn't have a border. Also I know every other skin has it but why don't we have fluid editing boxes?

[Andii]

I agree :)


o when using it on a mobile and using safari whn I'm typing a comment it will make the screen move over to the left while typing every letter why is this?? It's annoying

[Chippiewill]

Applies to all skins really, it's a common bug for images in notices to overflow from their containers, if you stick "<div style="clear:both"></div>" at the end of the announcments in the template is should stop that.

That's really helpful, I'm going to rework the header and most of the font appearance in place - I appreciate the lack of contrast with the blues can appear a bit boring, I don't want to overdo the Habbo theme but I'll look into making it a bit more appealing to the eye.

Thanks for the constructive advice!

[Red]

It is growing on me ;p I really like the width and the colours and that its not too habboey. I think its hard to see when you get a notification. Doesn't really stand out enough and I didn't notice the number changing. If the banner was half the size it would be perfect for me :( O and I love how your habbo is at the top!

[Aiden]

Just noticed that your avatar from Habbo is in the Top Left corner! Thats really nice, we should have that on the next Full Habbo Skin!

[Lee]

What is a Dojo...

[iFlame]

Not the best, but it's alright!

[MKR&*42]

What is a Dojo...

"A school for training in Japanese arts of self-defense, such as judo and karate."

Oh right, ye I totally see the relevance to the skin in that name... -.-

This is a feature on V7 which is why it was used in this skin and will most certainly be in the V7 forum skin ;)

Great... I really like it! :D

[hamheyelliot]

That's exactly what's depicted in the header though?

[David]

how does the v7 one work
my username isnt my habbo name, will i have some random habbo when i use the site :(?

[xxMATTGxx]

Look at the banner.

[Chippiewill]

The font-size in the preview section for a post appears to be a pixel or two smaller than the normal displayed size.

[Kieran]

how does the v7 one work
my username isnt my habbo name, will i have some random habbo when i use the site :(?

As with the current Habbox site you can only register with a Habbo you own. It isn't linked to the forum. So it will always show the correct Habbo you log in with :)

Good thing you'll be registering a new account then, with a habbo you actually own.

[Kieran]

It's supposed to be :o

[Aaron]

I like it, it's a different type of site skin.. good work. :)

[Gina]

when i first heard of it, i thought of club penguin :'(
i have no clue what it is aha but tbh, i dont really care ;p

[David]

quite like the changes that've been made.
wouldnt complain if the drop down box was made a little taller though

http://icap.me/i/xGWlOLhJRV.png

[hamheyelliot]

Really appreciate all of the feedback you lot have provided regarding the design tonight, there'll be some improvements made over this week to address some of the areas you feel are letting it down so far.

I'm off to bed now but feel free to keep dropping your comments and suggestions!

Lastly I need to say a big thanks to Kieran for being constantly wise and helpful, and Matt for his helpful (and entertaining) ways. I'm not sure what Bertie did to help so I'll leave him out of it.

Anyway, fantastic work Elliot. Nice one :)

[Calvin]

Couldn't edit previous post, but if this is going to replace the non-Habbo skins then you could create a field in the user's profile where they select Habbo or Non-Habbo and set the header based on that setting. I'll probably be using this skin anyway.

[Ekelektra]

I like it! I really like the largeness of it and the colours.
I don't like changing forum skins often though but when the autumn one goes away for another year I might even move to this new one.

[-:Undertaker:-]

It's pretty good yeah, it's one I could use easy if you get me.

But personally I stick with Site Skin 2010 as Habbox to me is orange and always will be. :P

[sex]

I LOVE this skin so much, probably one of the best Habbox has ever had!!!!
Some things though lol :P

http://i.imgur.com/M7KY0.png
Images for forum old/forum new? they don't really look nice at all at the moment! Maybe get GFX to make up something that would suit it?

Remove threads/post from forum index like on the site skin and make it skinnier which a lot of people are asking for!!
http://i.imgur.com/5DvHF.png
other than that thats all i can think off, i love the rest tbh!

[Mr-Trainor]

I think it's quite nice, might start using it instead of the 2010 Site Skin :P.

[xxMATTGxx]

Nice to see such positive replies about the skin.

[GoldenMerc]

Skin looks great, I know its a rebuild of site skin cheeky ;)!

[GommeInc]

The Dojo is quite an impressive skin. I've swapped Site Skin 2010 for it, and it's not failed anywhere at all :)

[Lee]

I've really come to like this skin and am currently using it!
hamheyelliot; did you use non-habbo light as a starting point because if I remove a few elements using google chromes inspect element I get the nonhabbo light header :D

As the other posts state, yeah non-habbo light is what the skin was based upon.

[Chippiewill]

For all those complaining about it being too wide.. go into your account general settings and scroll down.

[David]

DOESN'T WORK ON SITE SKIN 2011

oh

[mrwoooooooo]

woooo much better

[Kardan]

If the banner was de-habbofied I would actually use this skin. Back to Classic for me though...

[ColyTom]

I really like it but 'Habbox Autumn' is my fave!

[Andii]

Is this available on iPhone safari because its te only skin that I have used that has problems on my iPhone, when leaving a post it continues to move the screen while typing so you can't see what your typing, it also lags alot when trying to leave a post so you can't see what you have typed

All skins are available on any platform. Although these skins aren't designed to be "mobile friendly" and you do use them at your own risk on such devices. If you really want to use HxF on your mobile without any major issues then use the mobile skin or use an application called Tapatalk.
