Early Preview of the New LewdCorner Theme

I have been working on a completely new theme for LewdCorner and wanted to show an early look at it.

This is not a premade XenForo theme or a simple recolor. I am building it specifically for LC and experimenting with layouts and features that I have not seen used by other XenForo forums.

The screenshots below show two layouts I am currently testing. One uses a sidebar for the main navigation, while the other uses a more traditional navigation bar across the top.

Everything is running on a separate XenForo installation hosted locally on my computer. This is still highly experimental and very early in development, so nothing shown here is final. The spacing, icons, menus, layouts, mobile design, and a lot of the smaller details still need work.

I also plan to eventually allow users to customize the theme themselves, including changing the main color, accent colors, and font.

There is still a lot left to do, but this should give everyone an idea of the direction I am taking it.

Menus on the side are nice for widescreen setups, but I never use my phone that way for browsing. Mostly I use the site on my desktop, so the space is available.

The one with traditional navigation bar across the top seems practical...

 

[tsuowo]

I prefer the layout on the right

 

[jeff1005]

Definitely the one on the right!

 

[Matm95]

Both are okay, maybe a bit too agressively red tho',

Custom color options are really important. red‑and‑black theme is kinda harsh on the eyes… I’ve had to get myself a pair of glasses after hitting my thirties .....

About the menu both options will be available via that button on the menu end

I prefer the right one! With the navigation bar on the top. Suits a more traditional forum vibe.

yep, things at the top of page better than at side of page

I think it looks good but somewhat reminds me of a similar website with the numbers 9 and 5.
Nothing bad about it, I just wanted to point it out.
