Official Clan Forum-Skin

Those look good Hync but maybe I'm old school...

I like the current spread. Brighter web sites are easier on the eyes for me. That's just me though.

 

Honestly, the colors look a bit off. The main website is mostly black with a light yellow. The text colors in the skin are too bright. It's got a florecent yellow and orange instead of more subtle colors. Also, Times New Roman is just not a good font.

Sorry to be a bit of a neggy bunny.

The colors don't seem to bad to me, I would tone them down a few shades to something closer to brown though for the bright stuff.

Also that Times New Roman has got to go. I'd go with either Arial or Comic Sans MS.

 

The bright yellow text has got to go. Or at the very least, let each of us chose what skin to use. What’s wrong with black text on a white background? That is, after all, the long proven, tried and true best for readability. Go with the yellow text and my participation here is at an end. It hurts my eyes.

I never could understand the appeal of making web sites hard on the eyes and hard to read.

 

Awe...some. and for the win

 

I think the colors look nice, and it certainly fits the theme of the overall site. I especially like the orange on grey background -- very cool.

On the font thing, I agree that serif fonts like Times New Roman don't always work well. A bit of CSS that I particularly like and use a lot is:

Code:

body {
	font-family: Verdana, Trebuchet, Lucida, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 70%;
}

 

OK. So I am two weeks into quiting smoking cigs cold turkey without any patches or gum. This is making me a bit testy and I really want to kill something.

Please forgive my non-diplomatic critisim above.

Just leave us the ability to select the skin we want to use and I will be very happy indeed. I know the software has the ability to do that. So... remember that I am having serious withdraws and get really dangerous when I atempt to read yellow, green or cyan text.

Black text on a white background FTW!

 

Good luck with that ES. I smoked for 10 years and quit cold turkey. It was the only way really - everything else was too much of a tease. My worst moments were driving in the car and when drinking beer. Those were the worst. I had withdrawl symptoms for 8 days...then after that it was all in my head.

You've made it past the tough part! Think positive!

Since I quit 4 years ago I've had maybe 3 cigarettes and half a dozen cigars.

I didn't touch a cigarette until my quit day anniversary (which so happens to be dingus day! The day after Easter)

I'm so glad I quit, no more coughing, I don't have trouble breathing and I don't stink (well like cigarettes anyway ) The occasional cigarette, although tasty, truly reminds me why I quit.

 

If the goal is to make it tie in with the main site, I would go with primarily Yellow and White text. Pull the yellow color off the main site, I'm sure Hamma can hook you up with the CSS if you can't find it in the source.

But to me, that skin doesn't fit with the main site any more than this one does. Sure it a black background but that's about it. There's no pastal green or blue or orange on the main site.

I realize the main site is rather limited in it's color selection, but it's clean and easy to read.

I'm trying to be constructive here, unfortunately I'm not graphically inclined at all, so I can't tell you how to fix it, I can just tell you what seems wrong to me. I know that's kinda shitty, but it's the best I can do.

 

I like the blue text a lot. That's a really nice color to use with the grey and black.

I like the slightly darker orange you used for the top links in one of the earlier iterations a little better than the more pastel orange you have now. It's not a bad color now, it's just not as strong as the other colors, so it seems a little too light.

It might also look cool if the logo at the top was orange on black rather than white on black. That does diverge from the main site a little, though.

 

I like it!

 

lol Hynch spells color colour.

oh wait.
