Edit: BTW, the pink is actually not bad looking.

panchoman · Oct 30, 2007

you guys realize that you guys are just doing color changes, you can get really elaborate with it..

Paint Shop Pro X rawks!

I like this one. gj Peach!

ex_reven · Oct 31, 2007

Damn. I dont know how to do skins in PS.

EDIT:

Chewy · Oct 31, 2007

Whats the i do? Im guessing system info? or is it report post? we need a drop down system info thing for all our e-penises lol.. naa but I like being able to check out peoples rigs, helps you help them sometimes... I think it could stay about the same as it is now in looks.

Im going to crash/sleep. GJ man it looks real nice. :toast:

ex_reven · Oct 31, 2007

Oh wait. You guys are just doing mock ups.
Wth, how is that a "skin"

If I had the battery for my DSLR Id make a brushed aluminium theme. Sounds pretty sexy IMO.
Nice work Peach :toast:

kwchang007 · Oct 31, 2007

Here's mine, feel free to take away the stupid little black lines on the boxes, lol.

i cant wait to see what jr comes up with for this, im hoping he can make up some really cool skins

also guys, if you come across a good free skin for the vbulletin forums, you can let us know here, but i dont think you'll get a prize for that.

I really wouldn't be able to come up with anything for this. It would have to look too bland for my tastes.

But, I will think of somethin'.

EDIT: Well, not really bland, but I wouldn't change it much at all. In other words ... I like what it is currently.

intel igent · Oct 31, 2007

personally i like the colour AND layout of the current skin/forum.

a few extra buttons or post options would be cool

:toast:

ex_reven · Oct 31, 2007

Heres a little peek at what ive been screwing around with for the past ten mins.

I think with a little ingenuity it could be pulled off easily and look good.
Though, thats not to say it still needs alot of work.
I think the brushed aluminium needs to be lighter :ohwell:

JrRacinFan · Oct 31, 2007

I like it reven. I like it alot. Simple but yet flashy enough.

malware · Oct 31, 2007

I like raven's too, nice one.

ex_reven · Oct 31, 2007

Thanks alot guys.
Ill have a fully decked out one in a few days. Exams tomorrow and the day after, so I didnt want to spend undue amounts of time on it. Maybe it will be something fun for me to do this weekend lol. :toast:

I like plain, easy interfaces. Black is good (as you can see from my firefox skin lol) though I dont think its very suitable for TPU. I found my camera battery lol, so Ill get some brushed aluminium styles up later

.

I might also play with a glossy finish along side the brushed aluminium...I think they will contrast well (or sexily if you will :laugh:

)

Wile E · Oct 31, 2007

I really like peach's design a lot. It's just about perfect on my eyes as well.

Peach, can you post an un-blurred shot of it?

EDIT: Oh, and I wanted to thank W1z for the opportunity. My eyes may very well appreciate this.

Want me to try something with black?
I like the idea of black glossy/shiny buttons with a hint of glow to them and lighter text ;p;

Yeah, the more, the merrier! lol

WhiteLotus · Oct 31, 2007

i like peachs idea as well - although i love my Up button.

the online offline symbols - maybe put them in front of the name?

erocker · Oct 31, 2007

Cool! Pancho, I want to apologize for kinda being an ass on the petition thread! Anyways, I think you are making a difference for the good here, and it's good to see that you are putting in effort and time to make this a better place.

erocker · Oct 31, 2007

I just literally "dusted off" my copy of photoshop. It's been a while. This is going to take me some time. I really like peach's and ex_reven's so far...

panchoman · Oct 31, 2007

guess dont forget that you can completely revamp this and go crazy, it doesn't have to be like color changes. you can rearrange where components go, logos, pics, add and remove buttons, etc. etc. etc.

Agreed, though the existing layout is good since it 'works'.
If you started moving stuff around its gonna get annoying, and I think everything is in the right places anyway. All it really needs is a graphical 'upgrade'.

New buttons, new styles, new colours, new headings etc.
But the basic layout should be identical IMO.
