HabboxLive New Site Layout

[FlyingJesus]

I thought dark=modern was a thing in the early 00s when everyone was making tripod and geocities websites, now when pages are too dark they look like... tripod and geocities websites. It's not a terrible look that's been created but "modern" sites are pretty much all white and minimalist now - this kinda looks like Windows 98 which I'm fine with as an old man but def wouldn't call it a modern design

Yeah looks like Windows 98 for sure

I had a dark skin on my Windows 98, but was referring to how squared-off it all is really anyway

I think it looks really nice and it's a welcomed change. The other one was looking a bit dated to be fair.

For people who aren't so keen on the darker theme, maybe it would be possible to add a theme changer to the site which switched the css to make the content boxes a white colour or something?

4real though is this an admittance that V7 (with a merge which would render this change pointless) still isn't happening in the foreseeable future

Nothing related to it and seeing as V7 won't be out within a months time they thought it would be nice to get away from the "rainbow" theme and give it a bit of a fresh look. Kudos to them.

Me and Drew were talking about this a while ago and it's a welcome change for now! Absolutely love it, well done guys.

I love the idea of having 2 themes you can switch between though, a white on grey and black on... near white? If it's possible!

its an improvement but still not a fan of the site

I have no idea who came up with a canvas size of 547 x 143 haha

The aim of the dark colour scheme was to make the site stand out and move away from the norms of Habbo fansites (bright/colourful). I understand that it's very different from what people are used to, but I think it is a sensible choice for an Internet radio/entertainment site, and the dark monochrome layout accentuates the banners on the page. Arguably a better way to make it stand out is to completely redesign it in a minimalistic way, but unfortunately I don't have access to the source code which makes it difficult to do, so to avoid changing things too much (or breaking things), I had to design the layout to conform to the existing code which is a bit dated and awkward to work with. I know it's not the best, but it's certainly an improvement from what we had before, if I do say so myself

Thank you for all the comments so far, we will be improving the layout until V7 eventually comes out
