A new theme!
June 9, 2010 84 Comments
Hi everyone,
I switched to a new and cleaner theme.
The Enterprise theme by StudioPress features a custom background (see Pink Bean, hehe) and a custom header.
The width is wider, which is a plus for me.
What do you think? Do you like it? Or did you prefer the previous theme?

I believe your newest theme is definitely better. The brighter, overall colors certainly make the site seem more ‘relaxed’ and I predict the new change will invite even more readers than before. The last theme was simply unpleasant to look at; even though it was generally achromatic, it wasn’t as nearly effective as the current theme is now. So, in a nutshell, good job.
The whiteness compared to the previous theme is more soothing.
I like it better.
I love it :D
It’s awesome :DDDDDDDDDDD
Honestly, I liked the old theme better. Not that I have any aesthetic problems with this one, I just liked the old one better.
That and due to my monitor being an LCD, anything bright shines like the a spotlight (ie; the white background).
I love the new theme!!!!
the snails at the top are a tad weird though :3
Exactly what I was thinking, replace the snails with something like, your characters? And you nailed it.
i liked the snails Dx
It’s way too bright :S it actually hurts my eyes and makes it hard to read the sentences. A little bit darker would be apreciated
I will try to adjust the color of the background. ^^
Alright, now it’s fine. It was just that before the white was kinda painful to look at.
I like it very much now :D thanks you
I dont like this new theme : /
I want the old theme back, dont follow the same steps of GB!
The theme is too bright. The white makes it seem very plain, and the snails on top and PB on the side isn’t really enough to help it.
The old one seemed more crowded, but it was still more pleasant to look at.
I like plain and I like to minimize clutter.
The snails is just a beginning, I still have to think about the custom header.
This theme offers more than the previous one, that’s what I like about it.
Thanks for your feedback.
Honestly, I really like the new theme, though at first it was so bright >.<
keep the pink bean and add more pink bean animations :D. i like Pink Bean
Maybea possible a Resistance themed banner?
And yeah, either my eyes have seriously adjusted, or you edited the white, because it’s far easier to look at now.
He changed the white to gray.
Complaining as usual, I see.
I find this theme to be a vast improvement. Much cleaner and more organized.
I don’t complain. It was feedback. Get educated.
What a witty retort. Pardon me, oh Lord of the Internet.
Snoo pingas usual I see.
I see what you did there.
I try ;D
The comments are much easier to read, and that’s probably all I really wanted out of all of these changes. That said, everything now is fine.
…Well, I do agree that it’s a little too bright, but that’s just background issues, not actual layout issues.
I like the new spacing of comments, but I prefer the color scheme of the old one. Grey>White o3o.
I think it looks sexy… o.o
I don’t care about brightness, brightness = good. It’s way more ‘alive’ than the old theme, however the snails :P maybe a different pic.
The only problem with the brightness is that it was making people go blind :|
LOL…. yea the color is a little bit too bright. Or maybe not, what am I typing i can’t see! edihjewiurfjhdsj /end corny joke
love it
I despise the color scheme with a passion. However, I’m in love with this layout. It seems so businesslike and orderly!
all people already vote for ”Yes! I like it” they are white.
all people already vote for ”No, I want the old theme back” they are black.
@iHateThisTheme8D
says you, im white and voted no o3o
*sticks an obligatory sarcasm tag because I know some people will take this seriously.*
That said, I loled pretty hard.
Lol how about yellow :p
and I’m using iPod so I can’t tell the difference
lol Asian :P
I’m black and I voted yes…. I hated the old theme o___o it was fugly.
I like this less than the last one which I didn’t like much. The best theme was about 3-4 themes back.
YAY PINK BEAN!! Thats my fav MapleMonster!
I love the view nice job
i like it but the it makes the comments hard to read
I dont like how the comments look sorry
personally, i prefered a bit of both. The layout of the new one is much cleaner and is much more organized; however, the color scheme seems a bit too bright for me, and i liked the old one.
What are those 3 snails on top of the screen, where are they from?
the snails are from other servers. mainly event monsters. you can find them on bannedstory.
From what event?
i dno’t really remember exactly, but i think it was from either ems of MSEA
They are on Maple Story DS, well I saw the yellow ones in the perion location also yellow slimes and yellow and blue ribbon pigs
A few suggestions.
Let the pink bean at the side overlap the white space in the middle. It would make your new layout not look so flat.
Instead of all the snails looking the same, but with different colours/colors, give them different poses, while still retaining the colours of the snails. Add a green snail or coke snail in front of the red snail. It’ll give the feeling of ‘odd one out’, drawing even more attention to the snails.
it loooks new lol
I like this one better but the header needs more work (I’m guessing you were going to change it eventually)
I realy like this theme ^-^
easy to see, nice color, cool background
5/5<33
good work Spadow ;)
i want to choose my pic, how?
register online
http://en.gravatar.com/
but dont you have to register on wordpress.com first?
It automatically registers you on there so your Gravatar account doubles as a WordPress account.
This is Secun btw.
Oh, hi there Secun. I also changed my IGN recently, this is Slayer.
You can go ahead and put me back on moderation if you like, Spadow. I just changed emails, I’m not “Ban” dodging.
Eh, Gaialith on Nexon’s forums, that’s me.
Made a new acc since my old one got it’s pass randomized for no apparent reason.
My acc hasn’t been hacked, I’ve checked rankings, it’s just Nexon America being failtastic as usual…
Eh, apparently Gravatar either takes a while to update or it doesn’t work for me. Oh well.
I kinda figured that out, on intelligence alone.
They deactivated my account. X_<
Must have a new admin or something.
does gravatar work?
Nice Theme but i still like the old theme better :P [ not so style is better ]
Not bad, not bad at all. Needs a lot more explosions, though!
i like what you did with the banner, spadow. it looks way better than the snails.
What you just did now looks a lot better, less bright and still keeps it’s awesomeness! Awesome job!
Now if you could just do something about the gray outlining…
Btw, I’ve checked strategywiki and it mentions that KMS has Kerning Night Market. What is this?
http://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Patches#Night_Market
I do remember seeing some edits to the Kerning City Map with the portal with the Lamppost, have they released what was inside it or is this just an error made by strategywiki?
The gray outlining is the only thing keeping us from going blind D:
the kerning night market is a relitively new area that Nexon America has tried to add once to kerning city, but it was an accident. If one were to enter the unfinished map, one would be trapped there until he or she disconnected. When this area was added by error, the NPCs had inncoorect, pictographic, or even no dialogue. also, one may fight the snack bar in kerning night market in kms, but this was because nexon korea deleted world tour. heving them deleting would tour (before kerning night market existed), the area bosses such as the snack bar were strewn all over the maple world. One example of this was a person finding the snack bar in sleepywood dungeon.
Kerning Night Market is nothing. It’s one map with all the cosmetics NPCs from some World Tour.
But it says that KMS and MSEA has it with any problems, and that GMS will get it soon.
KMS and MSEA have it already because they deleted Spinel’s World Tour. If GMS is getting it soon, it indicates that GMS will also be deleting world tour.
Kering city night market………………….Im not sure either we had it but it was still under development and people was getting stuck inside but from what I saw there are some VIP Hair and face stuff but if its what I really think its going to be based off of the TaiPai Night market where you fight vending machines and lupins on motorcycles and ummmm SnackBar boss but right now the Snack bar is in the Drake Area for now
I’m guessing its going to go this far is due to kering city mall based off of TaiPai 101
nice theme
Looks great Spadow! I love the header! *-*
By the way, I would like to ask something… it’s about the Paladin’s damage at Time Temple after the Balance Patch. Since they can now combine any element with Lightning Charge, will they be doing 4x damage to those dual weak to (for example) Ice and Lightning or just 2x damage?
Its much clearer…
But add the snow module :P
It’ll make this look even better :)
I loooooove the card theme on the top of the page :D :D :D Great job Spadow!
Spadow. Please help. I want to be an adventurer like you. Always exploring… I am a merchant, and I don’t want that life anymore. Rip-offs, DC hacks, and tons more. I want to have fun, please e-mail me at xDheemix@yahoo.com Thank you!
The PB is too hard to see behind the white of your blog, it is a bit awkward. I like the new changes you made–header pic looks great. However, I would make the background a bit darker. It’s just too light for your navigation bar.
Could you provide a screenshot, maybe?
The PB is not behind the white of my blog, it’s positioned to the right and I can clearly see the image.
I have to say that I have a 19 inch monitor.
Ah, I wasn’t using full screen mode for the browser, sorry.
Hiya I was reading the comments above and if your going to scroll to the bottom and not read the top here..
For ghost and info on Keringcity Night market-I wrote

For the rainbow colored snails…
They are being used in MapleStory DS but for the MMO nobody knows yet they say events but no info what event.
For Spadow….
I like the Resistants banner but I know they are still in testing but are they related or on the black mage side?
The snails have been in the data for years. Some MSEA/TaiwanMS event.
The snails were from the Goldrich PQ. But the PQ has never been released outside of Tespia.
Ah that make sense
Is is theme is paid? I googled it and it’s paid.
Free.
