Hi there guys, today I'm bringing you "2" styles. Garchompin' and Yggdrasil. First though, a little history! For a long while I've wanted to release the style under the name "Garchompin'". A lot of my friends knew about it and were looking forward to it, but alas I'd run in and out of motivation to work on it. It actually started development 4 years ago, but since then has changed design dozens of times. A few months back, I decided to work on it again. Many late nights later, and much fun and frustration, here we have it! The only thing retained from the original is the header.

Now an explanation of the styles! Both styles are working under the same framework and feel and so they function the same way. Each style has a fluid-width version, and a fixed-width version. You can choose between the two using your User CP. I anticipate a few bugs and oddities in the styles, as there are a lot of edits in them compared to the original vB default. So if you see any, let me know!

These styles will be under continual development, meaning I will continue to update and improve them bit by bit, with special versions, reduced versions, more mobile friends (though the index and navigation are mobile friendly already!), and more. I hope to get every detail just right. This is where I value your feedback.

So I really hope you guys like these styles, they have been a long time coming. Yggdrasil is a little extra for those who patiently waited on Garchompin'. Let me know if you like them, your appreciation and enjoyment makes the months of work all worth while. Thank you!

Looking for Fixed-Width?

Go to Edit Options and scroll down to Forum display mode. It should look like this:

Note that the Fluid-Width option is the full size, normal variant that you see in the first image of this thread.

I've been patiently waiting for Garchompin' and I've got to say, it was definitely worth the wait. I'll definitely be switching between them on a regular basis. These styles are stunning Gav, so thanks for all the hard work and effort you've put into them!

I've been waiting for this pretty for a while now - absolutely thrilled to see that it's been complete. Lookin' better than I expected as well waheyy. Thank you and great job! =)

I've been waiting for this for such a long time. I remember when you first started working on it. My how long it's come. Love it. I'm going to be using Yggdrasil - which I think should be made the default style immediately. :)

Gav, I love you. Both of these skins are absolutely beautiful. They definitely fill the need for more dark skins that look great. Both of these are great, and you're amazing for all the hard work you put into them.

 

[Ooka]

Ahhhh, refreshing. Glad to finally have something better than Poke Link 4. ^.^

 

[Taemin]

OH MY GOD
Garchompin' is back aaaaaaaaaah
I'm so happy. ;w;

edit: Oh my god it's better than it was before.
brb shedding a tear

They both look fabulous.

Seriously having a difficult time containing myself right now. These are really fantastic, Gavin. I love a lot of these really small, insignificant details about Garchompin' & Yggdrasil that pull the whole feel together. Really crisp designs on both of them, and extremely easy to navigate.

Real quick, some of the recently downloaded fonts available on PC no longer work. You probably already knew about it though.

Thanks again for your hard work!

heeey finally some dark layouts that i seem to like and might actually use! which is great the other site i use has a dark layout and switching between it and PC can put a strain on my eyes haha.

but yes good work they both look fantastic. ♥

Althooouuugh one of the postbits (the one that shows friend code, skype, etc etc) isn't disabled when you have it disabled in your options. Neither is the rank (such as moderator, supporter, etc). Think that could be fixed?

Love them both Gav. Very well done haha! Using one now and I can honestly say I haven't been this impressed by a forum skin in a while. :D

Loving these styles, Gavin. I'm not really a user of dark themes (always use light ones), but I do very much appreciate all the work you've put into them for us; thank you. n_n;; Can't wait to see what else you come up with in future.

Garchompin'.

Who did the fonts? I love you. You are awesome. SO AWESOME. The style is much suited for them. Seriously, this is a very cool style.

 

[Palkia]

The fonts in this theme are amazing but I'm not too big on dark themes so won't be using this.

 

[Zorogami]

Wow Garchompin is great! it gives the whole site a completely new feeling :D
Im really considering switching to it permanently, maybe after getting used to it

 

[Zet]

It's great to see that Garchompin' is finally back. Great work on the styles as always!

 

[Khoshi]

Oh my, Garchompin's giving me feels about a forum I joined before here...everything looks so similar! I've been waiting for a good dark theme, I think I just found it. Thanks for it, I expect no less from such amazing users.

 

[Abnegation]

Thank you all sooo much for the positive feedback. Really a great start to my morning! I'll go right ahead and fix the bugs mentioned today. My main priority is making these themes functional. I know they have a long way to go to be good for mobiles though so hopefully in the near future I can do something about that.

Really stoked you guys like the themes, makes it all worth the while , and you're all very welcome.

 

[Raine]

Whoa! They look awesome based on the screenshots; wasn't aware that there were new themes released! :D I shall go try them out~
