As a guest,
You will see the template of the site changes each time you visit a page.
The sky changes by the GMT time.
Those are site default look.
To change that, (You must be a member)
Go to your profile, On the left, click on the Forum Profile Information link. (I've put an extra link named "Edit Profile" on your "My Panel". It's direct link to that page.)
Scroll down this page, You will see "Site Look Options" title.
Site template style
It is about the main template of the site.
Your options are :
Random : Template changes by each page visit.
Change everyday : The template changes each day. It's my favorite. Eachday, 1 template.
The rest are the names of the templates, So that you can set it as your "fixed" template.
Sky style
Controls your sky behavior.
Your options are :
Change by GMT time : It is site default sky options. It changes by the hours of the day, GMT-Wise.
Change by my local time : The only difference is the sky changes by your local time, Not GMT.
To set your local time : In your profile page, under Forum Profile Information, Click on the Look and Layout Preferences link.
On this page set your TimeOffset. Note that the field requires the number of hours.
Example :
For "GMT + 2", type "2".
For "GMT + 3:30" type "3.5".
For "GMT - 7:30" type "-7.5"
The rest are the name of a specific sky that won't change by passing times, So that you can set it as your "fixed" sky.
Clouds part height
You can adjust the height of the clouds part. Apparently in some screen resolutions, The default height fills 1/3 or 1/2 of the screen, You can now set your desired height.
Maximum number of clouds
If you have changed your Clouds part height, Maybe you want to change the maximum number of clouds flying up there too.
Shoutbox status
I've noticed Shoutbox has a conflict with the chess part and cause it not to function properly. (For example you can't challenge an specific member.)
They are written by different programmers.I asked both programmers for a solution, And they told me no solution in the near future.
So I made this option for chess lovers ;) or the ones who dislike shoutbox at all!
You can turn off shoutbox in chess pages or turn it off at all!
Turning shoutbox off at all will improve pages loading speed. (Because shoutbox is always checking for updates...)
Background transparency
If you think the transparency of the site is bothering you and you can't read well, Choose "Remove transparency when I put my cursor on an area".
It will remove the transparency of the areas if you put your mouse cursor on it.
(Won't work in Internet Explorer 6)

good job Monkey

Umm, it's 5:25 here now, and it's completely dark outside, but the background here is light!! It doesn't fit... :(
-
If that is 5:25 am, Then you are in the "early morning". Here's the settings :
2 - 4 Dawn
4 - 7 Early morning
7 - 10 Morning
10 - 12 Before noon
12 - 15 Noon
15 - 18 Afternoon
18 - 20 Evening
20 - 2 Night
If you think it must divided to more parts, Let me know.
-
Is it relative to the timezone of the logged on users?? If so that is great :)
edit: i just saw on my profile that it does, nice :)
-
tx MonkeyIsland,gj ::)
-
New Options added today as promised. (Check the first post)
-
can u make visited links colors not so shaded?)
like "home", "guides", "forums", "calendar", etc
same for left menu. the brightest link is logout, should be quite the contrary))) and i'd move logout a bit down in order not to press it accidentally
-
The best thing for TUS is viewing it fullscreen. It becomes more like the game.
Opera users only press F11.
Firefox users have to first turn off the navigation toolbar, then press F11. (View --> Toolbars --> uncheck the navigation toolbar)
Internet Explorer users have to press F11. They can right click on the top toolbar and click on 'Auto-Hide'. I guess that will be all the full screen IE can gives you.
-
Weeehah thats awesome :D
-
yep looks cool :)
-
To be honest, I didn't like this very much, but many people did, and
the Idea was great; I must admit,so.... Good Job :)
-
To be honest, I didn't like this very much
Dislike what exactly?
-
The Background changing all the time, I liked the idea
and I'll steal itbut
but not this much :(
But I loved most of the features, Like the shoutbox the Pool I mean, everything organized Good job about this man :')
-
Have you ever read this topic?
If you go to your profile page, (Click on the edit profile on your user panel), at the bottom, there are lots of options for the site look. You can fix it so that it won't change all the time.
-
Sorry sbout that :-X
I already changed it to 'Snow', thanks for the support.
-
as I'm using the template option "change everyday", will it go through all the templates in a specific order or randomly?
-
Every day it will pick one template. Today is fruit's turn :)
-
Mad TUS is the only template that should ever exist :D
-
classic tus template here, oldschool
-
MI... is tomorrow Gulf's turn? if yes, that would mean it's going through the templates in a predefined order. My question was if it randomly chooses another template for next day or not =)
-
i've been using old forest for too long. i'm going for the different look every day option.
one question: why is the site template option found in "Forum Profile Information" and not "Look and Layout Preferences", surely it would make more sense in the latter
-
@Husk,
Yes it is predefined. If I'm not mistaken it is going alphabetically.
@madog,
That part was coded at the very beginning of TUS when we were just a forum. Those options are all moved to look and layout in TUS2.

k thanks MI
