Eternal Nothingness XIII - Ven, Aqua... I'll find some way to make things right. TALK - This light... it's so warm. — 19:26, October 15, 2010 (UTC) So I stroll onto KHInsider and what should I find but Kingdom Hearts Re:coded's release date for North America and Europe. That certainly was a bright point of my day. I watched gameplay videos, and I was very impressed in comparison to the original. I then determined the game comes out in about three months. Plenty of time for us to discuss the following idea: KINGDOM HEARTS RE:CODED THEME FOR THE KH WIKI I know some of us will be against this idea, as "We just switched a couple months ago to a Birth by Sleep theme" will be on your mind. Some of you oppose to changing themes with each new game all together. But the theme's been up for almost five months, and with another three months till Re:coded is released, this will mean we'd been in "BBS-mode" for almost 8 whole months. That's almost a year, and recall that we did NOT make a switch when the original coded came out. Quite honestly, I like the image that came up in my mind when I visualized how the Wiki'd look with a Re:coded theme. Try to picture it yourself with the following criteria I post below: The main skin goes from blue to a "Re:coded" yellow (in other words, what's blue now becomes gold-yellow) The logo shows "Kingdom Hearts" as it is written on the Re:coded boxart, and "Wiki" appears beneath it in a gold-yellow font (as close to KH-y as and if possible) Where the logo now shows Terra, Aqua, and Ven, it will show Data Sora, Donald, and Goofy's artwork from this image (we can discuss other ideas/options for characters once logo rough drafts have been made, et cetera if things don't appear right). Since no wallpaper was released for Re:coded like the one we have up now with all the symbols, perhaps we could use the stream of data that appears on this official wallpaper for Re:coded. Again, we have plenty of time to discuss this and make tweaks. This is NOT something that has to be decided upon now. I brought this idea up on the IRC before creating this forum, and I got a great deal of support from the active Wikians that were present at the time. Let's hope for the best.

OathkeeperKH Hello — 19:29, October 15, 2010 (UTC) I think it's a great Idea. :D

I concur! Randomnessity I, Garland, will knock you all down!

Dan - Life's no fun without a good scare! ♫ — 19:33, October 15, 2010 (UTC) I fully support this idea. Also, for the background symbol-things, we could always covert the current one to show the symbols from the cover art or title screen... What do you guys think?

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 19:34, October 15, 2010 (UTC) I also forgot to mention that eventually this can branch into a vote if things get chaotic. But now's not the time. To those of you against this, wait and see what develops before you waltz in and shut an idea down. This has to be a COMMUNITY decision, remember. Also, looking at the image I provided for the characters used in the logo, we could use Data Sora, Jiminy Cricket, and King Mickey to switch things up a bit... We can see how both look in the logos, I guess. EDIT 19:36, October 15, 2010 (UTC): Dan, those symbols are better than the data, but there are too few for usage, unless we can somehow multiply them into a wallpaper like what we have now. The data stream may be a bit overpowering, but I think it will work better. We can see how both look, if someone makes a logo and tries both backgrounds, showing us screenshots they got via Print Screen afterwards for us to decide upon.

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." I agree; this way it comes full circle, and we've had a wiki theme for each game in the past trilogy.

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ {{{time}}} Yes, I agree.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 19:56, October 15, 2010 (UTC) Does it really make sense to develop a new theme if Oasis is forced on us in two weeks?

Eternal Nothingness XIII - Ven, Aqua... I'll find some way to make things right. TALK - This light... it's so warm. — 20:00, October 15, 2010 (UTC) If we do move, then we can adapt this theme to our new location. If we can somehow cope with Oasis, we can do it here. Oasis is no contributing factor to this, at least at the moment and when we have THREE WHOLE MONTHS to deal with it and deciding this theme or not doing it.

I approve. LapisScarab Good tidings, friends. Today is a momentous day. I am pleased to announce that a new comrade has been chosen to wear the coat. — 20:05, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Keyblade0 - ...And here you go, a cool keyblade. TALK - You can't see my face, because Nomura didn't bother to create it yet. — 16:30, October 15, 2010 I approve of the Re:Coded theme.

Organization 13 - Looks like my summer vacation... TALK - ...Is over. I like it. :D

The Inexistent - All your base are belong to us... TALK - What you say?!? Well... for the background wall paper, istead of keeping the black and blue lettering, could we use something similar to this: File:Back.png??? I say this because, while the back.ong retains the actual qualities of the image, using something like it would stop the wiki from having a dark look. A wiki with a dark header image and white for the rest doesn't sound like it would work.
