What style do you use?

[Fyacin]

The green and black has a wierd background on my moniter, it like streaks or something, plus like every other site I go to has a black background.

[Vampyr]

Don't want to be a humbug, but I don't like either too much, although I use the green and black. It's just that the green and black is very alien and futuristic looking, and it's such a popular free style that tons of people have it, and the green white is nice, but not too original. Neither really have a "tavern" feel.

I always thought that brown and gold would be nice, or red and gold.

Or that old rainbow colored GameTavern theme. Anyone still have a screenshot of that?

Red and gold, or brown and gold would look really tacky.

Yeah, if the person making it didn't know what they were doing or didn't have any artistic talent.

I think gold is a bad colour choice.


I'd go with a light version of both colours.
Like, a really pale red, outlined possibly by a deeper red, and instead of gold - because gold is overdone everywhere, a really pale yellow.

A darkish brown resembling wood would fit the tavern motif nicely. Perhaps each "shelf" could physically resemble wooden shelves. The forums themselves could be clickable bottles on these shelves. But with only two per shelf might not look as nice as it could would more. The parchment looking background on WOW's site might be nice for post backgrounds.

Orange and White or Red/White/Gra(e)y

I like the green and black.

Which do you use, Bond?

After you fixed the spoiler tags.. I tried out green and black. It's actually not too shabby. Hmm.

[Vampyr]

Here's a very pretty brown one that I now of. It's for Invasion Boards, but they aren't too different.

I know of another one that's red and gold and very cool looking, but that site seems to have exceeded it's bandwidth at the moment. I'll post a link to it when it comes back up.

Green and black. I prefer darker




But Vamp I quite like that style

Link? I'm pretty sure Neo paid a pretty penny for it, back in the day.

That's one I can think of off the top of my head, but I've seen several others.

I seem to recall Neo using it because it was free.

Edit: Nevermind, it's $30 on the extremepixels web page. I guess a lot of people just choose this one for some reason.

I use the green and white style.

I find it to be easier on the eyes.
