AGE Update: Finishing their job

So, I decided to tackle the job of making the website tolerable last time. This time, I decided to go full-0ut, and finish what the web-designers started when they started to rework the website. This means that every single page has been updated to fit the theme, but the main focus was updating the forum's look. Like last time, I did this through Stylish. I've managed to write it so it works in Firefox as well as Chrome. Safari/Opera/Internet Explorer users, I will not go that far out for you guys until Stylish creates an extension for your browser.

To recap, this is what it started off as.

And this would be where I left off last time:

And here is the final, polished product.

Now, let's go over what has changed.

•  Main Icons for posts have been changed to fit the sleeker, black&white contrast of the site.
• Color scheme has been standardized to grayscale + blue.
• Shoutbox has been fixed, along with "rated" members getting a more vivid blue background instead of green.
• Shoutbox's formatting buttons have decreased in size.
• The white-border black-interior style has taken over, removing most of the silver-rectangles from view.
• Main color for text is defaulted to a light blue to fit the color scheme.
• Buttons have been changed to fit buttons found elsewhere on the site.
• breadcrumb navigation has been heavily modified to fit the new color scheme.
• Main body has received a background color.

Now, why did I go this way instead of say, going with their light-hearted minimalistic design? That is because I felt most people did not like the mostly white and black color scheme which look ripped right from Apple's site and done badly. Therefore, going in the opposite direction (dark colors with bright highlights) might have proven a more beneficial outcome, and in my mind, it did.

Now, if you want to grab this for yourself, just install stylish, visit this page, and reap the benefits. It'll be updated every now and then. I plan to add more "skin" options (mainly changing the non-grayscale color to give your version it's own flavor) and to change the small 12px icons (I'm still trying to figure out a way to do this, seeing as there is no class or ID that I can hook into).
