Re: RPG-at-Work theme
B and I agreed that there wasn't any way that the new theme should have a breaking effect on the forum, so I installed it here.
Have a look and tell me what you think.

Wow, even work won't believe I'm doing something on such an ugly theme

Re: RPG-at-Work theme
Well since certain people just crapped on my work and had no suggestions on how to improve it, I once again went out to improvise.
The old RPGAtWork is now named Shadow, because I like dark themes, and we didn't have one. And since I'm doing the work, I get to keep the theme I like.
There is now a NukeAtWork theme, which is identical to nuke, except: No banner, no avatars, no posting stars, and no signatures. The title is also BRPGC, as per tet's request.
Just as a warning, if B ever gets around to upgrading the forum core, the Nuke theme (And therefor NukeAtWork) will no longer be available, as it is incompatible with the new core. I wouldn't be too scared, however, because the new core has been out for over 2 years, and B hasn't done it yet.

Re: RPG-at-Work theme
Nicely done sir, you probably could've kept the stars and avatars, as most forums have avatars, and the stars could easily be explained away as a confidence/trust rating in the poster. But this works well for what it's intended for, so I don't see any reasons to go fixing something that ain't broken.

Re: RPG-at-Work theme
Awesome! This one is just what I was expecting, strip out the images and leave the nice looking Nuke format. Well done! My job security thanks you. For me the Shadow being based on Dragonfly is what made it less than impressive. This one, using nuke, makes it great.
So in effect each style of theme has an At Work version! Nice.

Re: RPG-at-Work theme
To be honest, I kinda like Shadow better, as far as something for work.. Both are good, though.

Re: RPG-at-Work theme
I've switched permanently to shadow, but in doing a DB search, I ws the only one, so I felt like something else was needed, particularly since the 2 people who requested this feature most were still on nuke.
Oh, BTW, tet, I took your suggestion and bolded the forum links in shadow, also fixed the in-post links to be underlined and fixed the spoilers to fit the theme. There's still some things to do to make the admin side match, but since I'm probably the only admin that will be using this theme full-time, It'll be a while before I care enough.

Re: RPG-at-Work theme
yeah. I didn't remove it from previews.
Technically, it was a mistake, but it's one I decided to leave in, since most people are gonna see your sig, I think the preview should show you what most people will see.
