Can some explain what the Day/Night is there for?

I believe it's there as a feature unique to this theme that changes the look of the theme based on the time of day.

Wow! That would really be impressive, is it hard to do? If it Isn't then could we implement it into existing themes?

Is the day/night for a specific timezone or does it vary for every users setting?

It goes by the time on your computer, so if it's 3pm where you're at, it will show the "day" background, and vice-versa for the "night" background. It isn't based on a universal time; it's based off of the current time that your computer is set to. :3

Jesus christ this skin is hot.

Oh wow, a day and night theme!? That would be awesome to see! Hehe, I can see it now, it will be 12pm where I am and it will show the day theme. When it is 8pm it will show night, wow! Pretty, pretty cool. Hopefully it won't be too hard for you do get that in there.

I wanted to also reveal something exclusive to this theme. Not really huge or anything, but it's nice; I think.

While using this style during the day (6:00 AM to 7:59PM) you will see it like this:

While using this style during the night (8:00 PM to 5:59AM) you will see it like this:

The challenge will be creating the main colours and gradients to match both backgrounds and such. :(
Also had to reduce the top bar due to certain complications.

Oh my mother Mantine Arceus. That is so cool! Seriously, it's made of win. [/constructiveindeed] And maybe it'll make the dark theme lovers come on at night, sprucing up PC-nightly activity~ XD

It's worth repeating...
"Don't drop that one or a keeel you, 'kay? =D"

Good god that's absolutely awesome o_o

Why are we getting all the great themes in a row lately? XD

 

[Lover's Kite]

Thanks for the comments, guys. :3

Also I'm having a bit of difficult time selecting colours for the main forum content:

What do you think? Suggestions and ideas are welcome.

The green cogs throw me off. The orange and blue is eye pleasing, but I'm not feeling how the blue section looks to be caving in and the orange looks like it's popping out. As for the cogs though, even just a brighter green would look nice, I think.

 

[Lover's Kite]

The blue isn't part of the style. :x
It's the default vBulletin colours.

As for the cogs, that's the "forum_old" icon.

Forum Old

Forum New

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

Oh, well, I like the cogs and I want to keep the blue. :D

Also updated the timeframe for the changing backgrounds.

"Morning" background
6:00am-8:59am

"Day" background
9:00am-5:59pm

"Dusk" background
6:00pm-7:59pm

"Night" background
8:00pm-5:59am

The "Morning" and "Dusk" background are the same, because well they share similarities.
Here's the how it looks for "Morning" and "Dusk":

This looks great. I'm amazed!

 

[Yamikarasu]

Shouldn't the dusk background have some orange in it so it looks more like a sunset?

As for the color of the main body, maybe some textured pale yellows.

 

[xMeowthz]

I love the preview! It will be awesome.

 

[0m3GA ARS3NAL]

So far, I would say this theme would be a great addition to the community. It would be a shame if this never came out!

shouldn't the bg be 'reversed' for morning VS dusk? i.e. the sun on the opposite side.

I feel that the Forum New color should be blue, because it makes more sense, seeing as that the original color of the Time Gears in the game were a blueish color around that lightish tone as well.

Yeah I know. ^^; I was kinda lazy with that, but I'm redoing some backgrounds~

Blue?
We have enough blue, a little bit of green won't hurt. :D
