Wow Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I've tweaked the default board skin in an effort to give this place it's own identity. It still looks quite a bit like the base skin which was purchased in November. I also made an effort to tone down some of the "blueness" of the skin. It's now available for all to view now. It will soon replace the current default skin and may be the only skin to use eventually. Check it out and let me know if you come across any bugs.

weatherwiz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I like it although the font in the menu bar is kind of weird looking but it's readable so it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 the black menu bar has HUGE text... the rest is OK. Should be 16pt font called Bebas. It's a font-face import but should cover all up to date browsers. The fonts are funky on Opera. Which ones? The base font has been changed from Tahoma to Century gothic which is a commonly used web font. I could font-face it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Would like to see us keep the old Eastern skin as an option, but if you guys don't it's ok also. Not because of nostalgia or anything, just what I'm used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The century gothic used for posts is murdering my eyes. That font only seems to look ok when it's bold or bigger. Love the Bebas font. I may never forgive you for ditching my beautiful snowflake background. I liked the dark blue. It was soothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the dark blue. It was soothing. Yeah it is killing mine as well. I've already had enough eye issues lately.I like the blue background too, but we'd probably need something different in a month or so going into April.

I may never forgive you for ditching my beautiful snowflake background. I liked the dark blue. It was soothing. Eye stabbing font is gone. I hadn't tested it in WIndows XP. The previous font I tried last night looked ok in Vista but terrible in XP. Seems Century Gothic doesn't fare much better. We will need to figure out a new way to implement seasonal stuff into the header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
