I like it for the most part, but possibly make the text a lighter gray so its easier to read. And if possible make it uniform, as in when i'm writing this now in the "fast reply" the background is white and the text is the blue...and I saw a hugh/fuzz around Billman's avatar...wonder if thats a browser thing

I'll try to color match each text color to each skin color but thats an edit for each one... hard but possible. I'll work on it or Lee will. I'm pretty sure the color in the TEXT boxes will be the color that ends up on the forum once i find out each color code for each skin :)

Its ok,, but I have to agree with most everyone else.. it does seem to be a lil harder to read.. specially since the main area is now squeezed together smaller..

I like the dark color--> it's easier to read for me. Except when you open up the quick reply and get blinded by the white background in the text typing area.

Also, the icons on the index page have a white background and looks odd against the rest of the black. If you could change those to have an invisible background, then which ever background color someone chooses should bleed through.

i think it would be better if the font was a gray or even white the blue seems a little hard to read especially if you are staring at it for a while......like the look though but will take a while to get used to.

the black is too dark but agree a new color is needed....something less dramatic?

Pshh I didn't even notice it changed back to the old one. I liked the black. It wasn't to dark like on other forums and was nice. Only thing is that everything was scrunched up. Something that can be fixed though. I think you just need to upgrade your screen Guido. Dial up and rear projection whatever their called screens are so 90's. Get with the program. :P

Also no page for the garage. So you guys might want to look into that.

An all white background is very high energy and hard on your eyes. Dark backgrounds are very low energy and easy on your eyes.

Anyone ever heard of "the black Google"?

The colors were ok but very hard to read. Perhaps a light grey background with black text would be good. The most common GUI's for applications and sites are usually shades of grey and blue. Seems easier on the eyes.

The designer of the skins did a shitty job, IMO. Cheap ass work. Lots of hacks in there. I've been working on one myself, and while it's quite a bit of work, it'll be a little bit cleaner. I may be biased though.
