The "Chronicles of a Hero" font may be good. That or just getting the font used when you are entering text into a post to be used in viewing posts so that you have capitalized and uncapitalized letters may be nice. Just a thought, next time you're on graveyard and have nothing to do.

So miftah, for the "mascot" up top, were you thinking more along the lines of this?

That looks like a cross between Grace slick, Genie, a biker dude, something from the WWE and Johnny Quest. Make it go away!

OH, and what's up with the FIST?

Heh. Maybe this one is more to your liking.

Yeah, Eddie. The last one's much better!

Fonts and HTML are a funny thing.

Sure, you can code any font into html that you like, but unless the person viewing thus said html, it's useless. That's why I usualy stick to the base 13 (the 13 fonts installed with windows).

If I want another font to display, that's usually done with an image.

ah, good point. What about getting the font that displays in the posts to match the font you type in with so everything is not ALL CAPS?

Oh, and I added gloves to the BRHF mascot... for those that care.

Images were what I had in mind - I thought the title banner would look better in Kid Kosmic or Badaboom.

After looking at this with a CRT and a LCD monitor - I'd still go with a lighter shade of grey for the quote blocks.

I'm working on it.

It is a canned theme after all... there's a lot to tweak

SWEET!!

Much better, thanks Bio.

BTW, what the hell are you doing NOT at work? Graveyard last night?

Ladies and gentlemen... I present to you, myApple:

I like it. I might mess with this one to make it a little more mac like, adding the icon for its mail program on the mail button, etc. I'm not sure when I would eve have time for it, but you know... I mean to dammit.

PS, Bio, did you nix those emoticons I emailed you that I was going to set up?

Post by **bio** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 12:12 pm

Um... no, I just forgot all about them (I'm bad that way sometimes).

I'll have to dig to see where I saved them.
