Can you make a forbidden city theme? It would be great for the Sinitics to feel warm and familiar with most excellent surroundings.  |

Well I made one but it looked amateurish and "attempty" for a lack of a better word
I think it's possible to create a theme which is deliberately amateurish and cheesy for a stylistic effect but it should come across as effortless but also deliberate
I think I'll work on a theme which is cheesy in a deliberate way

Concerning a forbidden city theme I get the cheesy deliberate part. The forbidden city was about ostentatious display and over the top opulence. Things like double roofs and steps leading up to a building only to have them lead back down before leading back up and then back down. Countless courtyards and isolated openings separated large buildings that could have otherwise been conjoined for operational purposes.

Countless courtyards and isolated openings separated large buildings that could have otherwise been conjoined for operational purposes. Yes it's full of grandeur and opulence, it's fantastic. But the issue isn't to do with the structure itself, it's just that for landscapes with backgrounds, main subject and foreground (all of different colours) it's hard to match a colour scheme with it. Because you need to pick a key colour. I can make a Forbidden City theme available just to show you what I mean Also out of the two, do you prefer the Lychee or Gunmetal theme? |

I thought that everything could be textured with a graphic or themed layout. But it only lets you choose one color? I was thinking that the top bar could be the roof and the bottom part could be the base of the building and the middle could be a bunch of divider lines theme to the walls of the forbidden city.

Nah it's based on java, html and css so I can do whatever I want lol But I think a uniform colour scheme tends to work better and looks less chaotic? I'll give it a try perhaps |

I see it. I like the design and how 'interactive' it is. You can manipulate how those swirls swish about by using your cursor at it. Kind of fun.
