Skins...

Post by wardrich »

Hey emmzee,

Why not install some skins, preferably some unique ones (ie: not just subBlue, subBlack, subRed) go nuts get subTrail, subVereor, appleBlue, 3dBlack!

just a suggestion

That's what I was talking about <a href="http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic ... 8">here</a>. Oh well.

Hmm.....you should get SubBlack 3D and Digital Twilight. Those two are so cool. I sort of like Aeolus, too.

Skins is good.... so long as you avoid the "dark cave with a dim candle" look. The current cool blue default is easy on the eye but not "warm". I vote for a sort of "warm spring day" look for at least one selection.

JohPower: phpBB allows users to chose what the forum looks like for THEM. (Via profile screen) So even if we did implement dark, depressing gothic cave-like theams, you could still keep the nice, sunshiny current blue-silver one. :angel:

Oh, as far as adding new skins... I'll see what I can do. I think Emmzee is the only dude with the access to do it though. I'm not sure...

Apparently not. I do have full access to the forums, but a few things I do not. For instance, I could completely erase these boards and everything on them, but I wouldn't be able to add a new member rank icon because I don't have access to the directory in which they are stored. :rolleyes:

I like the subSilver, but more skins would be nice.
