My theme

Permalink
I didn't want to post this in themes as it isn't a support question.

I've just created a theme athttp://www.automateyourlife.co.uk I was surprized how easy it was.

Let me know what you think of it!

It makes me angry. Just kidding. Looks great. The only thing I might do is give a little more contrast to your gray on gray in the main navigation. Some Windows users with poor monitors might have difficulty making out what it says because Windows is actually darker than a Mac. Right now I'm on a Mac and I haven't looked at it on a PC , but it does seem to lack contrast enough to make me feel like it could be a problem.

Thank you for your views.

I haven't worked on the internet explorer compatibility yet (why do Microsoft hate CSS3!) but will do shortly and will check into the contrast at the same time.

Hmmm. Sorry about that, I was given a knock up image to follow. It must has been edited from your theme.

The grey colours I chose are all gradients based on the OS X application colours.

Apologies again, I will change the design.

Unless it's been changed recently, I don't think it looks much like your theme at all. Just because elements like rounded corners and colors might match doesn't mean it's your theme.

Not trying to be a jerk, but there are probably hundreds of themes out there that look more like your theme. Unless you have some concrete (get it?) evidence that this was ripped off, I'd be less inclined to cry foul here.

I believed the style was quite common with 'web 2.0' designs. I intended to use it as a base to make it more unique.

I am happy so send you my source so that you can see it has been written by myself.

It's cool man. I hardly think you would have posted a link to your site if you had knowingly ripped off a theme. I think this is just a case of elements of the two themes looking the same unintentionally.

For what it's worth, they are both good looking themes.

Thank you, I would never rip off another theme, it defeats the whole point of creating something.

I have another similar theme which I created for a forum I used to run before it was taken over by the Royal Navy/Royal Marines. I will try to blend elements of the two in order to create more distinction.

No need to change it, was simply stating that it looked alot like mine.
I've viewed the source and can see that the code/markup is different. It just has quite a few similarities.
