Koby Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Well I don't have time to finish creating our custom skin plus I suck at buttons for skins. So for the mean time I'd like to get another skin put up. I've looked at alot of places and the only good ones I have found so far aren't free. They cost $30.. and well I'm willing to pay it I guess. However if someone has one and is willing to let us use it that'd be great too. Or if anyone knows of a good free vB skin they'd like us to use, or want to design us one that'd be great too... Until then please choose the one you would like to see us use the most of the following:http://www.vbstyles.com/demo/index.php?styleid=18 - Satellitehttp://www.vbstyles.com/demo/index.php?styleid=2 - Ariahttp://www.vbstyles.com/demo/index.php?styleid=20 - Tech 2http://www.vbstyles.com/demo/index.php?styleid=36 - Afterdarkhttp://www.vbstyles.com/demo/index.php?styleid=44 - Element (Blue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† shinji Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Aria and satellite look good.Prefer Aria though.Afterdark seems a bit tooo cliche'd,, with the colour themes and all.I guess, Dark colour themes are good, but they're over used, which would give FM a kinda 'old' look. like i remember that colour theme similar to one of he older skins. which is why i'm opting out of that skin (afterdark).But yeah, Aria seems really good. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linoud Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I like them all but my favorite is Afterdark I think. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujklob Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I don't like any of them really, but I guess I would go with Afterdark. Although, those forum markers are ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I like Aria, Satellite, and Afterdark.I lean towards Satellite more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Napoleon Bonaparte Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'd go with Satellite because it's a light and dark skin. I really like the darkish background and light foreground. I'm sick of fully dark skins so I think Satellite would go good with the forum. Though it's just my opinion. => Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anooxy Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Yeah Satellite is quite nice. I like that too. There are a lot of other good skins you can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikazu Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Satellite and Aria looks pretty nice. Should use light skins more because the dark skins are overused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Morpheus Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 not much of a fan of any of the choices, but i would choose aria out of the ones posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 dark skins are overused.And then when light skins get popular, people will want a dark skin just to be different, because then the light skins are overused.Am I wrong?It doesn't matter if it's the current fad--if it looks good, then it bloody well looks good.I lean towards Satellite for roughly the same reason as Napoleon--it's not entirely dark or light. Nice little compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Welsh Paddy Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I prefer Afterdark because it has more of a professional look than the others. I personally think that Satellite isn't that good. The blue gradient background looks horrid. And the others looks too... 'simple', really. I think Afterdark looks the best, but it reminds me too much of FFExtreme Forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I always liked Satellite ever since I saw it before we bought vB.. However I'd like to have a light skin and dark skin options for FM forums to give every user a chance to use the type of skin they like. =P I'll probably get Satellite and eventually get Afterdark (as an option not default).. I dunno yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† shinji Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Can u make multiple skins? lol.like, have users the options to choose wh ich skin to use like u used to on IPB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujklob Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 @Shinji: Yes, check the little drop down menu on the very bottom left of the forum. There's another--albeit ugly--skin to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† shinji Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ahh k, so why not just install different skins and let the members decide? lol. Unless you're deciding which one you're gonna make default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Shinji we are trying to decide which skins to install.. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linoud Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Well if we're choosing more than one, I like satellite somewhat, though the background seems a little weird.But, I'll take it there's more out there but we should look and suggest em? I might have a look sometime, though I don't mind the default skin we have now, a different one might be nice. B| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
