I can't wait to create a style based on the lovely Vanilla colors But first, I need to finish the theme... It's more work than I thought. It's hard to change some stuff without losing the Vanilla functions.
Btw, my visits have doubled since I've put up the new theme Funny to notice that most Vanilla community members use Firefox (55%) and only a few IE (8%).
Nice work so far although its hard to read the text [sticky] & others like [closed] and [sink] if it has new posts (when its blue) since its dark green on slightly dark blue.
Even if you do like the default vanilla theme more, I like that this theme is being created. It shows people who don't understand that Vanilla serves the same purpose, but with a different spin. I honestly don't think that a lot of people "get" that.
yeah Mark, it's no wonder you've dedicated yourself to this so much, it's beautiful. I'm glad people are starting to show of what an amazing bit of work you've done
Man I simply love this theme, it really brings out the fact that vanilla is so customizable :)
Would it be possible for you to release the theme files that you are testing on your site atm? I am sure we all can help u test it more if its an open testing :)
Yeah, Mint will be ported to Vanilla. When I've seen it on you website I only thought: "Insane work!" Really. I hope it'll be released soon, because I am not able to wait for long time :D
Just a little word of advice! You probably know about My Vanilla Cork'd style, I contacted Dan and he basically said not just yet. I wonder whether its an idea just to contact Shaun Inman? Just to get his full blessing! Its obviously up to you! But I just thought I would let you know!
When the theme is done, I will contact Shawn. Btw, I'm not here to copy his style, I just want to create a new theme for Vanilla. Once I have the Mint style working, I'm going to create a Vanilla color-scheme. I will at least release that one I used Mint's forum as a base to work from just as Shawn used punBB as a base. Eventually we all copy from eachother Even a new idea is always based on ideas seen on other websites or other media.
Sure is! I didn't have a problem with it, I just didn't want you to waste your time, by doing it and then finding out he didn't like the idea! Keep up the good work!

i bet the mint stylesheet + the vanilla forum as it is looks also wowie.. my opinion is: i would keep the benefits of the well organized vanilla gui.
