Navbar Update.

So... this is a first stab at this in a while.  While I like the current nav bar at the top of the page where Portal / Home/ Calendar.... is.  It does not denote where one button is and another begins other than the "words"  I am looking to update that.  Maybe make it more touch screen targeting friendly. Also, maybe some clearer words.

1st go round.  I'm not at least 75% sure of this one.  I kind of took this off the forum images for matching.




Thoughts?  Like I mentioned, be honest.  It will not hurt my feelings if you hate it.

I think contrast between the words and their background is really good with the current navbar. I'd hate to go a step back on that.

I agree.  I think the current navbar just needs some tweaking instead of changing it out.

I wish the forum would allow for hover buttons.

MUUUUAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA



I think I did it.  They Hover now!  This whole thread is pretty much mute now.

Still going to update the images for cleaner text.

Me three, I like the nav bar how it was/is and am not so keen on the one you were testing because it just doesn't fit our "theme" well, it needs a certain ruggedness to it! Lol

I've personally never had a issue with the whole touch thing and I'm here via cellphone 99% of the time.

You talking about the one up right now? or the one that was in the screenshot?

I know I have been trying to standardize the fonts across the site.  And not use some "far out" ones either.

This is another one that I was working on.

And this is the current one that I am leaning towards.



I am also thinking it may be time for some re-arranging as well.  Maybe turning off some like "calendar"?

This is the more decorative 2nd version of the previous post.

I like this one. Looks better than what have imo. I just like darker blues though.

First one I ever made for the site was black with blue highlight. It was cool for a long while until it got dated.

Looked like this: (still not too bad)
 


I like to bring this screenshot up from time to time how the site looked when I found ATLTF back around 2013-2014 before I joined.  Hard to believe I watched the site and builds for 2 years before I actually made an account. It's how I found @Doc Sprocket and followed his "MULE" build.  It was a time in life that I was a bit leery making accounts on sites for some reason. (Actually, I have reasons)

Funny fact.  The site still runs this theme.  I've just modified it that much.  I've tried to jump themes a few times in the past 4-5 years, but I could never get it as clean as this.  Well clean in the timeline I would like.

@MightyRaze I was talking about the one you were testing that I felt didn't fit out theme so well. Love the one as of this morning though!

Wow hard to believe how basic the site looked back when, man you've done a super job!
