Those are just terrible! First off, have Moldorma make the Goron Theme background icon. He made the old one. Oh, and he made the one for the green theme! Also, what happened to the old Zora Theme? It was much better. Use the old Zora Theme and actually MAKE a Goron Theme. New logo and everything. Then I will be happy.
The only thing I can think of to get the old Zora Theme is to look through the files, see if anyone has it saved, or try to get it through Archive.org but that method probably won't work.

EDIT: I'm thinking that the lighter coloured themes like the Kokiri Theme should have "Lite" or "Light" in them because the actual Kokiri colour is not light green and the Zora's isn't light blue and the Goron's isn't light red.

Alright, I'm getting sick of this not giving reasons or specifics crap. WHY do you think it's lower quality? Try stating that so perhaps it can be fixed rather than just saying that you think it's lower quality.

There's such a double standard about religion in the modern world. Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal.

But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

For the red-- the blends of colors aren't as good-- the light pink doesn't go as well with the dark red... I would recommend brightening the red a bit, also desaturating a bit.  Also, no offense, but the symbol is pretty horrible, not to mention VERY jagged looking, it needs some AA'ing (also wrong color). 

Some things "just don't look right" because the a lot of things need more than just a basic recolor to fit together-- there needs to be a balance.
* Limey is going to try the blue now.

EDIT:  Again, same problems.  The contrast between the greyish light color in the text areas to the blue in the exterior areas just doesn't feel right.  I don't like the particular shade of blue you chose; brightening and desaturating again would help... Or making the center area a more blue-ish color.

I think these new themes look fine I have a bright monitor and I have it on full brightness. They both look fine to me. It's a new theme, it may have a few problems but they can be fixed and worked for the best. A lot of people really seem fussy on theme colours for the site, it's really weird.

Second.

Also, I might make my own banners for both themes later if Hammer Bro Mike hasn't already done so.

We could make it a public poll on banners to use...

As for the goron background, I know it sucks, I made it, I suck at graphics, it happens, it was a placeholder 'cause I didn't want to have to use the Hylian seal. If anybody's got something better then by all means, let us see it so we can swap it <_<

Everyone,

These themes were uploaded prematurely because of a misunderstanding. They are far from complete as it is part of a new dev team project. The final version will be up next week. No updates until then. But contributions are welcome :)

It was much better. Use the old Zora Theme and actually MAKE a Goron Theme. New logo and everything. Then I will be happy.
Also, do you think I CARE about making YOU happy? The general populace of ZFGC seems to be good with them (that have posted, at least), so why should I care what ONE person, who doesn't even say WHY he dislikes them other than mentioning the fact that his brother did some things to help with the old Zora theme, dislikes them? My suggestion is that if you're not going to say WHY you dislike WHAT parts, then I'm just going to continue to ignore you.

Don't get so defensive over it. :P

I will say why I don't like them right now. The purple on the Zora Theme is too bright on my monitor (mac). The background of the Goron Theme is very pixely, which is why I suggested Moldorma make it with proof that he could, his old works that helped the other themes. Also I would just prefer the old Zora Theme over any other current theme, and it's gone, replaced with a worse one. The colors on both new themes are far too vibrant. I loved how you guys made a new logo for the Zora Theme. If you refuse to bring back the old Zora Theme I suggest making a new logo for the new Zora Theme. Also make a new logo for the Goron Theme.

I think The Goron theme is good. The only thing that bugs me a little bit is the background, and the colours in the topics.

For the Background: Maybe try making the image more smooth and not as sketchy, I can't really describe what I'm trying to say but it looks kind of sharp.

For the colours in the topics: Change the colour of the red by making it slightly darker so it fits in a bit more. And for the pink, darken that to about where the red was. Or if you want it lighter, brighten the background.

Those were some things I could think of for you.  :D

That's a nice theme. Even though I didn't click it, I looked over to my brother luigi's computer and he clicked it. He got "muahahahaha"ed!

EDIT: Anyway...so are there are comments on this banner I just made?

Yes yes, we know you're better at design than I am, I still like my blue theme more though, Windy <_<

Anyways, I like it, HBM, thanks, we'll probably include it when we re-release the themes (as Kirby said, they were released a little early *cough*), but for now, no more updates to them are being put out for a little bit.
