VincentASM Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) To sort-of-commemorate the anniversary of the forums, I decided to make a new custom skin. You can enable it by navigating to the drop down menu at the very bottom left of the forums and changing the selected skin from "Serenes Forest" to "Magical Purple". Anyway, I'll leave this topic open for feedback for the skin and the banner (and also to report any errors you've noticed- bear in mind that some non-purple/red colours might not be errors). I don't mind a couple of "W00t" or "it sucks" posts, but try not to spam too many of those X D The background is kind of a filler right now. I don't have any good ideas as to what to put there.

Mufasa Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's magically delicious. I like it. I like the banner the most. Very festive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm not too thrilled with the red hyperlink text, but other than that I don't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanz Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I quite like it, but the red links make it difficult to distinguish the admin colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I quite like it, but the red links make it difficult to distinguish the admin colors. Yeah, that was one of the sacrifices I made. On the plus side, you can now see NTG, if she ever comes on X D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fia Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Lol at Tinny and Yuria. Seeing the theme is Magical Purple, why don't you use ArthurTinny/Sara/Yuria/Tiltyu OA as the background? To match the banner I mean. =3 And I like the color. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 A background is not even necessary. Though a fairly simple skin, it's a very nice skin. There are only a couple of minor nitpicks I have, such as the white border around the banner and your red administrator color being hard to distinguish from the normal member color. Oh yeah, and where it says which users are reading the topic below the bottom post, Royals with their grey color have a red underline, whereas I think that should be grey as well... But like I said, that's just some minor nitpicking. Good job ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) It's hard to made repeatable backgrounds using OA. Although it's only troublesome for people who use massive resolutions. Royals with their grey color have a red underline, whereas I think that should be grey as well... No, that's correct. Only mods, admins and assistants have underlined names. Edited January 8, 2009 by VincentASM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krevin Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I can dig it. I'm not a fan of the red links, but the massive amounts of green of the old skin were getting on my nerves so I think I'll stick with poyple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Will this be temporary or will this be available all the time? I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's OK. I still prefer the regular one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I like the new skin. I was beginning to hate original. :E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It looks more grey than purple to me. Should I be worried? But yes, I like it. Along with the red hyperlinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It looks awesome but i still prefer this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palsy Brown Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 MAGICAL PURPLE WAND TRANSFORMATION GO~!! Actually, I rather enjoy the new layout. The banner is a bit lacking, to me, but that's because I go to too many GFX forums, I guess. Also the red links could go to a darker grey, maybe? I don't mind them, but it would match the butans pretty well and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florete Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I really like it. It's nice to get a change of scenery after a whole year. I think I'll use it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 It looks more grey than purple to me. Should I be worried? It happens to me when my eyes get tired... so maybe... Are any staff thinking of making another New Skin in the mere future? Just me I think, and perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm not too thrilled with the red hyperlink text, but other than that I don't have any problems. Clearly it just means we're all administrators. God, Musashi, way to screw up. Again. Joking aside, the new skin looks pretty nice, though it's definitely hurting from the lack of a background image.

Iceland Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) TBH I don't really think that a background is necessary with the skin. Overall I think it's interesting, but too lilac for my tastes. I'll stick with the mean green for now. Edited January 8, 2009 by Iceland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freohr Datia Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's magically delicious. =o Was this why my cereal seemed extra good today?

Deity Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I like the new one more, and I shall be using it until it is removed. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I forgot to mention it, but this will most likely be a permanent skin. Otherwise, I'll still be using it anyway, since I started using it a couple of days ago : P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
