I mentioned this earlier, but I’m working with Pasquale (aka Darkmotion) on a redesign of the site.
The goal isn’t to go too “out there”, but I do want to go back the pixelated style of yesteryear…err decade! 🙂
The clouds will be animated. I also got permission from the creator of the Dark Project icons to use them on the new design, so you’ll likely see a lot of the old icons coming back as well.
The forums will get a similar treatment as well. So expect to see a lot more pixelated icons here as well.
Early thoughts? Concerns?

Love it, u and Pasquale nailed it 🙂… its got that retro feel but at the same time really slick. Like getting a new Super Nintendo…

That is exactly the feel we were going for! Now, all we need is some 8-bit video game background music. Which may not be a bad idea actually!

The changes are slowly starting to go live! I am updating the fonts on the tutorial pages with a handful of glitches that I will slowly address momentarily.

The next frontier here will be updating the look of the forums. I am likely going to be tweaking this official theme, which you can preview [by clicking here](http://forum.kirupa.com/?preview_theme_id=18)!

It looks great
I hope you have a pixelated sun (and moon for the dark theme) 🙂
Yep, the forum needs it! just a pixelated bkg blue would be a huge difference.

Regarding the pixelated sun and moon, that is a great idea!

I’m slowly making changes to the design! Here is what a callout section looks like 🙂

Still haven’t forgotten about making the forums look nicer! Here is a theme from Discourse that seems like a good candidate to use here and then modify with the more pixel-themed visuals. Thoughts?

Love it, Pasquale and you did a great job:a tiny smile on my face: It’s incredibly sleek and has that vintage vibe all at once. Such as purchasing a new Super Nintendo
Thanks

More design updates! This time, the typography has been cleaned up a bit.
Plus, we now have a revised footer:
All of this is still a WIP, but I do hope to be getting closer to wrapping up the main site work and then shifting to the forums in a week or so.

Almost reaching the end of all the changes. I’ve started updating the forums with the latest styles and fonts. There is still a bunch of little things to do, so I hope to tackle those tomorrow.

The font looks pretty sweet, what’s the font?… or did you make your own?

Not that, but the font is pretty cool! I didn’t make it myself. I don’t have those kinds of skills! 🍰
The font is Born2bSporty for the headings and Chakra Petch for the body. I describe those here: [About this Site](https://www.kirupa.com/about/site.htm#kirupaCredits)
No, the thing I wanted to point to is the pixelated orange logo. I got permission from the original creator to use it as the site’s logo! 🍊

Nice! Super clean. Love the dark theme [blue] feeling and customizations.
(sorry, can’t stop imagining those clouds moving super, super slow 🙂
Great job!

Thanks! 🙂
Also, I just noticed that we don’t have moving clouds on the forums! That’s something I’ll try to fix in the near future.
