FYI - This will be the last set the classic theme will be available for use. Next to the desert theme, it has been our longest running theme. I did create a new theme using the same colors, but with the new style. It is active and may be used this set. It's temp name is Orange (classic wow). The desert theme will be at the end of life soon as well. I don't think there will be a replacement for that theme with the new style.
The classic theme is a lot more compact, with everything you need in the center of the screen and empty space on the 2 sides. The new themes have stretched it out horizontally with lots of empty space in the middle. Any way to compress it like the classic?
Will the new theme be available for mobiles as well?
Classic theme was my first love =[
I'm working on a new theme for mobile. It will have that same layout but a better menu. I'm trying to design it so you can quickly navigate without having to search through a ton of options, like you do now with that menu.Quote:

Moving menus to far side and top, allows more room to increase the tables in the center, making game play from mobile devices easier.Quote:

Noooo, that's the theme where everything important is in an easy to find spot :(
Is there a reason why you are removing it instead of one of the less used options?
Just logged onto the new theme from a laptop (the space one). The white writing that sits ontop of the white background is a slight strain on my old eyes lol. Everything that sits in a box is fine.
Classic Wow Orange theme is the tits FYI.
Dude!!! Man it’s good to see you playing this set. It’s been a long time. I didn’t take the theme down yet as many still like it. I’ll prob keep it but would like to update it some lol.
hopefully you’ll stick around for a while. Miss your input on new things :)
lol just realized you said the classic wow theme is the one you like. There was another theme called Classic that went away this set. It was a lot like the Desert layout but had the orange colors. The new one I created, "Orange - Classic WoW" is the one you were actually talking about. I like it too and it's the one I use. Not many others liked it because they felt it was too large for the screen. But I like the space and I really like the menu and stat bar fixed position. It is really close to the old theme in wow. Just a little nicer :) and the screen isn't in frames like that one was in wow lol.
Feels good seeing all these friendly faces around! Careful what you wish for. I'm older and even more long winded and ornery then ever!!! lolQuote:

If you redesigned it, its awful close to the classic orange wow. I like it. I like the menu's around the perimeter and the nice big focused central point where everything is happening. Not to mention the black orange contrast. I'm impatient and not a big fan of having to actuate drop downs and navigate submenus so I like the extended navigation options. I mean I know sometimes it can't be avoided but, for me in general, the less clicks from a to b the happier I am.Quote:
