Xerneas of the Forest Theme!

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I am so addicted to making themes. xD

Here is a new one for you guys, titled Xerneas of the Forest.



It is a bit different to a regular theme in that it has a big background image. This is mostly because I loved the background pic so much and couldn't fit it nicely into banner size considering Xerneas is so tall. So I decided to try something different!

It works best at 1920x1200 resolution or smaller. It's fine on bigger sizes, the background will just repeat.

If you notice any issues or things that could be better, just let me know. I know not everyone will be a fan of this style, but I kind of like it. Also this is a widescreen theme. :D

For a light skin.....I LOVE THIS ONE! I haven't had any problems with it other than the fact the Mods blend in with the rest of the members.

Oh my god she actually did it! *w*

I can't say I'm a big fan of Times New Roman fonts...but I never really have been. I'm sure it'll grow on me.

Maybe the section bits could use more opacity. Like, just a bit more opacity. Being able to see the background theme as well as you can right now (on the forum index, the white, slightly transparent forums/sections) makes it seem cluttered and makes the text less noticeable / less of a focal point.

Another thing: when viewing a thread, the text detailing the thread title, section, etc. is white, therefore it blends in with the background. Since it is a multicolored background therefor it could be difficult to find ONE color to use for the text there that would look good, why not maybe have a black border around the text or something? Just something to discern it from the background.

Loving this theme, it's very beautiful ^-^ I just switched over to the Dragonite one, but now I think I should switch over to this! :D

Yeah I was having a bit of trouble with the blending... I put black 40% opacity boxes behind some of the white text but it just looked kinda cluttered so I didn't want to do that for the section text as well... I have replaced all that with a black shadow behind thw white text, so hopefully that looks better?

I kind of like the current opacity level but you're right that it detracts from the text. But I guess I was kind of wanting to detract from the text since Xerneas is so pretty haha. I will considering changing it though. :)

Maybe put some space between "New Posts Private Messages FAQ Calendar Community Forum Actions Quick Links" and the rest of the content so you can see Xerneas's head? (like the Darkrai theme does I think)

SARAH YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF. <3 FINALLY, another widescreen theme! My monitor and I are both very, very happy. This theme is amazing. :D Thanks so much for creating it! ^v^ 10/10!

Something to try for the background might be setting the background's size to cover. That way it won't repeat and it will always fill up the entire screen. I tested it using the Firefox console and it looks pretty nice that way to me C:

I'm not really a fan of changing my theme too often, but this looks lovely, Sarah! Awesome job!
