Syrius Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Uh. Yeah. I'm complaining about it. What happened to the other ones? This one seems a bit tacky, and the avatars on the right seem a bit odd. (We read from left to right, remember? )Will the other skins be uploaded soon? Or what's the reason for the change?

mercury_in_flames Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 the only thing i like about this one is that the avatars are a bit bigger lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzray Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 this skin does not bother me; no complaints; white is good, should it change; could be worst; keep this first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielbb90 Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) Changes are a part of live, get used to them...Well I guess any skin is better than this one! lol Edited May 1, 2006 by danielbb90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 come on guys... this clearly is not about change (well, it isn't mainly for me at least) it is aout preference:- I too like the avatars on the left as I see immediately who posted what, while now I have to look twice- things are more spread out, which makes navigating with a touchpad a tad more work- my PC and powerbook are both 'greyed out' (I have a very nice overall grey/silver look going (through selected skins for most apps, a personalised desktop pic in greyscale, etc) and the basicX just fit the picture these are things that won't 'grow' on me... so yes, I can live with the refault for now, but I'll be glad once there's (a skin like) basicX againBTW: there is also a part that is related to change... I can blindly find all I need in b-x, and that is very pleasant... while I now am looking for stuff all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzray Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 yours haven't lived "Change" yet; yous don't know what "Change" is!basically , if you didn't have change; the world would go nowheres.i'm the only one here that UNDERSTANDS "change"; change can be good ;; and it can be tragic; if tragic; it can be mended; if not fu*k it; take it!i (rayzray) find change "Good" most of the time and exciting; bring it on; give me any change; i don't care; a choice is also good sometimes.

Mr_Bass_Man Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 No, I don't think the problem is change, it's the poor "man (person?) machine interface".Since the latest change in skin I find myself bringing up the profile page of the latest poster, rather than the latest post ...OK so some of it is down to pure incompetence on the part of myself, but I wasn't forever doing that with the previous versions ...

atrain Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 i'm using basic x anyway. what's the biggie? can't you guys just change skins in the bottom corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 ehm, no atrain... I guess kurisu has taken them off temporarily as they didn't play nice with the latest board updates... so no probs, they will returnkinda weird that basicX still shows for you as I didn't switch manually, all of a sudden it just showed as refault2 and the other options are gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Thank you for your patience, folks..I can't restore basicx ever again, unfortunately (I've pursued every available option).There will be new skins soon with different color options; why don't we use this topic to brainstorm on what colors we'd like to see with future skins? I know for sure I have a darker skin coming (a favor I owe mr. greenmachine), but what else would you guys like to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuge Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) How about this type of skin -->http://www.extremepixels.net/ipb/index.php...in=1&skinid=145or this type http://www.nsitlounge.in/bb/index.php?sets...inid=37&cal_id=Clean & neat Edited May 1, 2006 by stuge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Good idea Stuge:I like:cobalt_xplasma_xand to a lesser extentscarlet_xA black skin would also be fine somewhere much like we had with the Halloween skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 i like the first one you posted stuge... but still, way too flashy icons i love something in greytones (not much contrasting shades needed, very clean, simple and easy to read) for me the text/content is most important, so distracting 'buttons', banners, icons/symbols are definitely ot neededbut anyways... even though i have participated in the discussion, I'll probably find one in the final selection I will be able to get used to I trust your choice kurisu... it has been quite good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 i'm fond of basicx but anything fairly 'dull' low contrast. darker colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayzray Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) someone mentioned a "Black" one; i recently joined a "Local" forum that NEEDS a boost i think. there are 39 members and they post about once a month!!!!but i like the "Black" color (or should i say "Lack of color"; yes; black is the "lack of Color".(http://s14.invisionfree.com/rockin_rebels/index.php?)

The Low Volta Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 well, I assume there will be a couple of skins (otherwise it wouldn't be a skin, but just one standard 'look' ) and as you 'color-loving' ppl already have a shiny white/blue one with refault2... I just dared to suggest a grey(ish) one I think the ppl here are colorful enough by themselves and I personally like to focus on what is said, not what color the text is on a completely unrelated note: a grey one with the avatars on the left is easily 'disguised' as something 'serious' at work by simply enlarging the window and sliding the avatar-column out of the screen to the left (this leaves the scrollbar on the right available)... but then again I wouldn't dare to read MDCF during work hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 on a completely unrelated note: a grey one with the avatars on the left is easily 'disguised' as something 'serious' at workHaha, I tried grey skins at school/work for both MDCF and T-Board, too. But, what really gives it away for me are some people's avatars and signatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Could be, but I just find it very dull to read.. if you ever get light sensitive headaches or migranes, you'll switch forever. sadly all my screens are lcds so they are very bright.

greenmachine Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have set my laptop's screen to minimum brightness, so that i can stand even the brightest skins like this one. If you can't change the world, change yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Black on white is fine for me, but white on black is dire. Please don't go that route unless there's an option to turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzray Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) this is exactly like DJ'ing a wedding! no matter how good the song you play is; or the request is; a lot of the ppl ain't gonna like it!you can't please most of the ppl most of the time; and only a few; few of the times?!unles you have options; concider yourself a disgruntled DJ!
