I dont know if it suits, but I figured, what the hey, lets give it a go. I won't release it to the main forum until everyone is happy that it suits the board. I know it looks a little tacky at the moment but I am working towards cleaning it up.

Suggestions welcome.

To view the new skin click:

http://hostingbay.net/~oztiv/forums/index.php?styleid=5 which is the new template design.

or go back to the http://hostingbay.net/~oztiv/forums/index.php?styleid=1 which is the default template.

Cheers

I don't really want to sound negative, but I think that skin is too dark. It's much nicer to read dark on light than the other way around.

I agree, It makes reading the forums quite difficult when the background is dark.

Ok, I'll work on another skin. Thanks for the feedback!

How about: http://forums.oztivo.net/?styleid=6 ???

Edit: for some reason the domain name doesn't want to resolve for me this morning (8:15am) Don't know why. So I'm adding this link for good measure:

I would agree, however I don't like the blue and green together...

Looks quite irish.. but, a splash of colour is always good.

The idea came from looking at the "TiVo Central" Screen which is green. So I decided that I was going to create something which was light, but using the "TiVo Colour Scheme"... I'm not fond of it and im still going to change it, but im still looking for suggestions on the colour scheme.

Using the 'OzTiVo' style from the 'Quick Style Chooser', I've just noticed that the word Forum is misspelt in the graphic title. :)

Ahh.. didn't notice that. I'll fix that when I get home from work tonight. Otherwise, would it be ok to use as a "forum default"? Or is there any other settings people would like to change?
