Unless your browser didn't update its cache when opening Omnimaga (again, CTRL+R or CTRL+F5 for people with fewer Internet knowledge :P), you obviously can now notice a drastic change in Omnimaga look. Yes, despite some similarities with before, the entire site theme was revamped! The banner was updated not long ago, now it's the layout turn. To fit the new banner, we have finally decided to go back to a darker forum theme like we had in 2005.

Like in 2005, we went for the unusual combination of a dark forum background, while still keeping the rest as light as possible. A combination that is so unusual that most forum softwares style sheets were not written to handle such theme (changing the text color on the dark areas will cause everything else to change too or vice-versa), thus, creating this new theme proved to be a major pain in the jello. Unlike our 2005 theme (see Archive.org cache, even if images won't load, you can still get an idea (http://web.archive.org/web/20051211063953/http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/)), this time, we couldn't do the "medium text color" compromise, where the entire site text is light enough to be seen on the background, but still dark enough to be seen everywhere else. The reason is that it just didn't fit and we would have been forced to keep the board div/tables to their original colors to make text easier to read, and on the old board, some people did not like this, since the contrast between the BG and the FG was way too high.
Sadly, due to issues with our current setup, we were unable to keep the old forum theme as an alternate choosable theme for people who liked it, so you will have to do with the darker theme. Fortunately, the navigation and text areas are still bright for the most part, so you should still remain comfortable with them.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy our new look, since it took quite a while to create. (http://www.omnimaga.org/images/rainbowsmiley.gif)
On another note, Super Star Hero, the cancelled action-RPG project for Windows that I worked on in 2008 has been finally released as it is in the archives, for people who want to try it or use some of the event codes in their own RM2K3 games. Once you look at the screenshots, you will discover from where that black face with red eyes and a blue helmet in our banner comes from ^^
