SouthernGirlAM Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 One of the greatest things about 4.0 is the ability to change themes. You can select your own site theme as well as your own forum theme. Make them different or make them match...it's all about you, the users', choice! To give everyone a bit about the themes and their inspiration: The themes actually come out of a casual conversation I had with nkramar months ago when we were first beginning the design. He suggested changing the look of the site and we decided it was a genius suggestion. What better way to let the users impact the look of the site than letting them decide what they want to see on LPL based on what they like. The current themes are based on LP's career to date and their side projects: * Default theme - The theme we will set based on LP happenings at the time for default users to see when they first visit the site. The current default theme is set to 2.0. * Hybrid Theory - For all those hardcore Hybrid Theory loves. Theme features the exact colors from the album, including the soldier, as well as a live picture from that time period. Rounding out the theme are the symbols found on the back of the CD cover itself. * Reanimation - I know we have some Reanimation lovers out there and this is for you. Featuring a live picture of Rob from that time period as well as the transformer from the album art. The colors come from various spots in the album cover with other artwork serving as its inspiration. * Meteora - This theme is sure to please those who are big fans of the Meteora artwork. Features two live pictures from the Meteora tours blended into the main art piece from the album cover. Also features other images such as the background or the appearance of the painter in the forums. Rounding out the design are shades of blue, green, brown and black just like seen in the album art. * Minutes To Midnight - Features a shadow image of the front cover artwork as well as live pictures from the 2007 tours. Using the traditional black and white, this theme is simple yet a match to the album. Bringing a touch of color to the themes are some shades of blue that can be found in many of the photos and posters that were used during the promoting of the album. * Dead By Sunrise - In this theme, we pay tribute to the most recent side project by Chester Bennington. Theme features artwork from the album and a live picture from the recent DBS tours. The colors are red, black and white and are the exact colors you see within the album art. * Music For Relief - In salute to the charity work LP has done through its non-profit organization Music For Relief, we created this theme using pictures from disasters and relief efforts the organization has responded to or provided. This includes a wooden header with those images in polaroid format nailed to the wood. The rest of the theme makes use of the browns, greens and wood to pay tribute to MFR and the appearance of the MFR logo in the forums. If you are a supporter of MFR, this theme is for you. * 2.0 - And rounding out the themes is the theme 2.0. If you liked the 2.0 look of LPL, then this theme is for you. It features the similar look as 2.0 including the gray, black and green colors just as before. So if you want to hold on to the hold LPL look, here's your theme. With all this said, we hope you all enjoy the themes and getting to learn a little bit more about them. Again, more themes will certainly be coming, at least one a month depending on what's going on at the time, so we've just scratched the surface when it comes to the themes. If you have feedback on the current themes or ideas for future themes, post those here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
