    Yep! I''m still working on the winter theme, thank you for the pointers.

    I'm puzzled what to do for the actual forum categories as I want to keep the whole winter, snowman, snow thing going through out the whole design.

    I think you'll have to be generous with the heights if you want to maintain this theme with the .tcats. I have the height of mine at 57px but 60px would be a good height to start with so you have a little flexibility on the designs you can and want to put in.

    I would personally go with the snow on the tcats like I've done on my theme. Or maybe just a standalone snowman on the left of the cat and some holly, candy cane a robin (bird) maybe on the left. I'd still possibly have the snow on top of the tcats to maintain that christmassy feel though but that's just me.

    I think my last years style forum icons had flashing lights, not to flashy but more of a slow pulsating so it's not to much for members. Maybe this is something you could look into for that area.

    Regardless of that I'm sure anything you come up with will be good and look forward seeing the updated versions of this screenshot.

    Yeah. :P Sorry if I don't say the names, since most of you use vB, I'm sure it's called tcats what I call thead. DX and tcats for me are what you guys call thead in vB. A bit confusing, no? :P

    I'd just call them Thratoids the universal styling language.

    Usually they start with .t<name>, I say 62 px - 65 px is a good starting point. Don't forget to add a class of image at the bottom of each table like icicles and such.

    I've just asked what thratoids are to two of my friends and one says it's sounds like a german sausage and the other said a swine burger. :D

    I checked on google hopefully giving me some insight on what this word means and it came up with nothing. LOL


    I'm going to bed.... ;)

    I like the type, but I especially love the colours (specifically variation of colours you used throughout this piece. The brush work isn't bad, and the rustic feel looks quite nice.

    The more I look at it the more I love the colours in this. Could make way for a very nice style if you could adapt this over.

    Thanks!!!(sorry for the late response! I just saw this D:)

    My friend is over because our community doesn't have lights(it's been almost one day) so I decided to use his photoshop. I searched for three fonts I had installed on my computer and thought would go great on this next image you will see and well, without my stuff I was able to make something. X3 Enjoy. It's supposed to be a fake small 'website'.

    With some retractions, that would make worthwhile for a WordPress comment area with pageination.

    Yeap, that's my smiley work(I have a couple more). I am more comfortable with pixels rather than what Shelley does which is soft edged. awww.adminaddict.net_data_MetaMirrorCache_816970fbec4f7a4d6002185559ef6228.png

    She did another great post using smilies a while back when we added a bunch of them here. It was fantastic and gave me a good laugh, too. :cool:

    Nominated for post of the week. Brilliant, Great to see another smiley creator posting their works. And, keep at it, you'll be getting better with each day that passes and it's showing.

    I'm fast becoming a fan of you animated pixel smiley work. I think they look absolutely great. :D
