When I started the forum, I decided that I wanted to create a special colored theme, to honor Miss Ginger Rogers. I am not sure if I am "finished" with it, but so far, I like what I have created... and I have received a couple of compliments from other members who said they like it too... Thank You...
However, when I did this... I "stupidly" (LOL!) modified the "Default" color theme... What I should have done was create a second color theme, and save the original one. But I was not experienced in such matters, so I wasn't thinking...
Being a member of a couple of other forums, I am aware that not everyone will enjoy my "Miss Ginger Rogers" color theme...
So, I decided that I needed to "repair" the color themes for our discussion forum... I took the "Default" theme and made a copy of it, which is called "Miss Ginger Rogers"... Then I made it so that the "Miss Ginger Rogers" color theme will load by default.
I have deactivated the original "Default" theme. It should no longer load, and it should no longer be available to anyone. As I said, the "Miss Ginger Rogers" color theme should now load in it's place... If you are experiencing any problems, I apologize... Just go into your settings, and select the "Miss Ginger Rogers" theme, and then save your settings... It should automatically set up for any new member registrations...
I wanted to add some other color themes, incase some of our member can't stand "PINK", or if they find the "Miss Ginger Rogers" theme hard to look at...
I want you to understand, that even though there will be other color themes to choose from... They are very basic designs. What you see is what you get. And I will not spend any time modifying them. What this means is, If I create a special "banner" for the "Miss Ginger Rogers" theme, I will not make a special one for any other color theme. It may also be possible, that I may create a special banner, in "Pink", to compliment the "Miss Ginger Rogers" theme... and that pink banner may load with another color theme, and it may clash. While I hope they do not clash, if it does, I'm afraid you will be stuck with it. Sorry...
At the time of this post, I have added two more themes...
Here are the current color theme options...
ALL.) ALL of the main background colors for the boards and threads, ETC... are white. This seems to work very well...
1.) The "Miss Ginger Rogers" color theme.
I understand Ginger's favorite color was Pink, and even acquired the nickname: "Pinkie". So, the main category & menu color is Pink... Ginger frequently had blonde hair, and the color of the folder icons, just happens to be gold... Ginger's magnificent eyes, were sparking blue. The text color for each board is blue too... I found a great color picture of Ginger from about the time she did "Storm Warning" (1951), although I did have to do some color correction on the photo though. She was wearing a red top and red button-up sweater. You can see the photo, here: hlmgr.proboards.com/board/4/ginger-rogers. I tried to make the main webpage background texture this color...
2.) "Default Blue" color theme.
This is the color theme, that ProBoards gave me, when I signed up for our Discussion Forum. If you have used ProBoards before, it may be familiar to you. It works well, and seems to please most users.
However, I did add the Grey texture to it. It was white before. Just too much white. It also makes everything a little easier to see.
3.) "Purple" color theme.
It's nearly identical to the "Default Blue" color theme... Except the Blue colors are now Purple.
I may add some additional "Basic" themes in the future, to give you more options... And I'll note those here, when they are available...
However, I really do recommend that you try to use the "Miss Ginger Rogers" color theme!
