Mc-Market New Branding/Theme

[y0jJJyeDYzRTYomFX]

Thank you for all your support towards this project. The extension is released, here's an official statement from Mick:

Over the past few months, a suggestion made by y0jJJyeDYzRTYomFX has been gaining more and more popularity, to the point where it's now the most viewed suggestion ever made in the history of MC-Market. Today I'm very proud to announce that a Chrome Browser extension has been developed by y0jJJyeDYzRTYomFX, Wvisoecj, and Ajdin. The extension allows for you to select a very sleek and modern theme for MC-Market, which wouldn't be possible to add as a regular theme with the restrictions that xenForo has.

This extension has been planned and created over several months with many beta testers. The beta testers were: TechBanana, lAkjtzAZ0, Arcrimonia, rexs123, y0jJJyeDYzRTYomFX, Wvisoecj, myself, 1amDev, mattrick, Elcro, Chearful, TheLightDev, Candy, @NikDev, and Hoot. Without these beautiful people, the addon wouldn't be as bug-free as it is. Right now, there is currently one theme that you can switch to, but in the future, it's planned to add much more.

To get the extension, you must be using the Chrome Browser and you can download Onyx here: https://onyx.pwign.com/, and once again thank you to y0jJJyeDYzRTYomFX and Wvisoecj for their work on creating this for the community.

A screenshot of what the theme looks like right now can be seen below.

This is sick and I would use it all the time hands down.

While I like the concept of it, it's really something that's difficult to do.

Getting something completely made from scratch is not even worth it at this stage. Professional XenForo designers their hourly rates are kinda high and getting a style made for XenForo takes days if not weeks before it can be put in production. Just imagine that every single color, box, container, etc has it's own set of properties. I would love a custom style but I'd rather wait for XF 2.0 (which I'm hoping to see end next year) as the style will need to be update anyways. It's much more work than just having a go at it in Illustrator as presented in this thread design. I'm honestly willing to put down a few hundreds for a completely custom good looking modern style.

I'm a huge fan of Simplistic and Modern styles aswell. I've looked for them before on various XenForo sites but nothing looked satisfying enough for me. To me, all XenForo styles I've come across look similar in so many ways that I don't see enjoyment in browsing any XenForo site anymore. It's the same boring repetitive layout. I honestly think it's kind of funny. I've never seen a XenForo website and went "WOW " which I have seen with other platforms where styles and templates are much more customizable. Take a look at the MyBB free templates for example. You can see the various layouts of the sidebars, containers, etc. If you take a look at XenForo's top templates, it's a whole different story and they all just seem like the same template with minimal changes, that's the part I find funny. Except for this one by PixelExit but it doesn't look too good imo... It's different though! Take a look at this custom one for example. It's about purses, no big deal... But take a look at the style and layout of the website. Believe it or not, that's XenForo. It's also one of the biggest XenForo forums. Another forum that's quite big and I personally browse is the UK Business Forums. I love the style of that one too.

I'm not sure why this is the case. I have no idea how XenForo styles are made. It honestly might have to do with the restrictions in 1.x.x. The XenForo developers are working on 2.0 and by the sounds of it, they will have a demo out mid next year, knowing them, it'll probably take longer. Next to that, we have to make sure all our addons will be compatible which might take a while to happen aswell.

You guys are always welcome to suggest individual styles you find on XenForo.com or any other reputable website and I'll look into implementing it if it's worth it.

I can also already tell you that I'm going to have a limit of 6 styles. The only ones that will stick around will be Minecraft Dark and Light. Season styles will eventually be removed once others are added.

Also, for those who are wondering Lyphiard is not a designer, he's a developer. 2 different things.

tl;dr no custom style for now, possibly a pre-made template if something good is found. Waiting for XenForo 2.0


This seriously pisses me off. This suggestion was up for less than 2 days and has been having constant replies and discussions. Sometimes it's just better for me to wait it out until it gets more input. Let's also not forget that it's in the middle of the weekend and that I have a life and job too.

Damn, really sad it won't come to life

You know... yo ucan't just deny this idea, it truly pisses me off that you say it's jut too much work. I dont care how much work it is, this idea was barely around for a week and 110 agrees. You need to just get off your ass and make it happen, warn me or suspend me I don't care. This idea needs to happen i've never seen a suggestion with so much activity so quick... It's worth it if your community think it is, and that's that matters.

No one said this still isn't happening

 

[Mumzel]

Make this an alternative theme!

If you read what he said, you would see that it really isn't possible for MCM. It would require countless hours of work and a huge sum of money. Even if money wasn't a problem, it would be many months work. That is why it is better to wait for XenForo 2.0, because it would be way quicker and cheaper.

How is a color innovative?

He also mentions the logo, icons and the shoutbox/chat style.

 

[y0jJJyeDYzRTYomFX]

BeBonsy said it's too much work at this point...

Why did you assume BeBosny would be responsible to make this happen? Again, stay tuned for a big reveal. You don't know what's coming.

 

[Wvisoecj]

BeBonsy was the one to deny it, didn't say he would be the one to make it. I think you're amazing for this idea, but BeBonsy could've said "we can give it a shot..." instead of it's just not worth it for mcm at this point

We found our ways around it. Again stay tuned.
