I changed the default skin and made a logo that went with it (I got the GIMP, NightSnake made me). Vote on if you like it better than the old one.

OK I changed again but it keeps doing weird things when I try to upload transparent images. This is annoying.
ETA: SubBlack'll be the default until I can get it to work.

Decided yet? (JK, jk)

Ulyanov · Sun Apr 29, 2007 2:14 am

Well it doesn't like me.

I'm sure it's nothing personal.

That's reassuring.

It's a theme called Subway. Go to http://www.mikelothar.com/ and select downloads (it's one of the box options). This guy is my favourite; I use his templates myself and they're very good/reliable.

You can preview the theme here:

I like the dark touch you are trying to create, as opposed to an overly striking brightness that hurts the eyes, but SubBlack is a very old and overly common style, with little or no artisitic touch.

So I fully reccomend Subway. It's fully customisable, such as logo etc, so no worries about that.

It's all right I would add it, except that I don't have full access to the forum controls. I'm limited to what ForumWise has available (wish I could find a list of them outside the admin cp, but it doesn't seem to exist), and though there are over 300 of them, SubWay's not one of them.

Put a request in and Mark may add it. :wink: It's a really good one so it stands a high chance of being approved.

Ulyanov doesn't like to ask people for things. Don't ask me why, but if it's free he won't make a request. Even if it's not free, which I really don't understand.

I just LOVE the skin smartDark. Available on phpbbhacks.com . It fits well with my theme, and is similar to this one.

If it's not what i pay for I'll want it fixed, but if it's something for free I want to be as inconvenient as possible.
SmartDark was available though, so it's been added, there's also something called SmartBlue which I can add if anyone wants it.

The zerospace one you have is pretty good (it's blue if anyone's wondering).
