Your favourite thing about the Themes section?

[Stinky666]

I figured I'd start a discussion since there isn't any "proper" ones. There are ones asking for help and such, but no actual discussions on themes.

I'm sure you have all had a play around in the theme manager, especially the advanced styles, or easy colors section.
So, what's your most favourite thing? Maybe it's something that makes everything so much easier? Maybe it's an addition?


It could be anything in the Theme Manager area, including the advanced styles, css, layout templates, or quite literally the theme manager itself.

I like the button section. For whatever reason. I like customizing the buttons. I'm odd. ^_^

To me, I like the Advanced Styles and CSS. I'll admit I'm pretty much a novice at all of this. And it's taking me a while to figure out what click does what effect to my theme in progress. There are so many more options now. It's making it much easier, if you know what you are targeting, to create the exact look you are wanting to accomplish.

Not to mention, we have a preview window right there to the side so you can see what you are changing without having to change pages to take a look.

OH and the images. It's so easy to apply an image.

I'm so used to v4, but I'm really liking v5 so much better. And that alone is something I didn't think would happen.

I like the easy mode. You can try different colours and right away see if they look good or horrendous. It's not easy got get the balance and appearance good enough to go public but the preview helps.

Sorry. The Bear caused the dupe.
