I don't know if anyone noticed, but there has been a Site design being updated news bulletin for the last few days .
I've been working on Version 4 of Galaxy GUI which retains the original GGUI look but adds improved loading times through image optimization as well a refreshed look. I need your ideas, thoughts and suggestions.
To see the theme, click this link: https://galaxygui.forumotion.com/forum.htm?change_version=subsilver&change_temp=2&change_version=subsilver
Remember, this is constantly changing

woah boy, that is one really bright theme. I really am used to the little darker look we have going here and idk if going bright white would be best. If you want I could make a rough design of what I think might be best, if not that's cool lol. All I know is that if you go with a white theme you do have to have some darker colors to sort of balance it out, otherwise it feels "white washed" and way too bright for most people.
Idk, that's just my thoughts, you can ignore them it's fine, a lot of the time I tend to be wrong about these things haha

I'm sorry, but I really don't like that at all, I'm actually VERY happy with the current design, and I don't understand your need to constantly redesign this site (why change a winning situation?).
I don't mean to sound harsh, I'm just fed up with the constant changes

Yep, I noticed. However clicking the 'Read more' link just links back to the page I'm on
Anyhowdy, the concept is waay to bright Needs come more contrast, and I don't like the whole 'target' logo, TBH. Looks a little... Cheap

Yeah a bit bright, but it does look good though. I personally like the layout as it is now because i like the contrast, and overall smooth look it has. But i know when you look at something over and over for a period of time you just want a different look for the site. Nothing wrong with that. Either way it's all good.

What's wrong with this one?! Honestly i'm beggining to think that the only reason people come to this site is to see if it's changed again...

Yayx! My eyes hurt I need me a pair of I know you guys want something simple, minimalistic but white is always a nono. Try blending some toned down earth colors, might look nice But... I like this site the way it is. I don't understand why the need to change.

Not liking the buttons, the old ones, theater curtains, fit the theme perfectly.

I like the preview theme although it is a little bright, change is a good thing (I don't want to sound harsh or seem like I'm attacking anyone here but this site is about customizing, we have a constant stream of screen shots in the threads form people changing their desktops and your complaining about the site changing seems a bit silly to think that some things can change and others can't.)

its never good to constantly change the look and layout of a site. especially if the success of a site depends on its viewers/members/clients. can you imagine an online store changing their look and layout all the time? a site should have a recognizable look, familiar, so people know they are at the right place. and the layout should be consistent, so no one has to re-learn where everything is, where features are and how everything works. its off-putting and annoying when a site keeps changing.

UPDATE
Galaxy GUI v4 will retain the original GGUI look. The interface will just be slightly improved and load times decreased with image optimization.
You can take a look at the preview again, the noticeable differences for right now are the forums width as well as a slightly darker gradient color scheme

Good idea to keep the original look, I couldn't come up with anything that looked decent and went with the feel of the site. Now you just need something to replace the white background lol

How about the same color as in the header for the background?
