Skins!

[static anonymity]

Here's your chance to see Smerkers the way you want to! We're giving you the opportunity to submit ideas for skin colourschemes. Those that impress us enough or that we think will work effectively will get made, and that means you're able to select them as a means through which to view the site!

It can be anything as vague as "I think an army or icecream colour scheme would work well" to something like "I think the links would look great lime green, the forum back ground a deep red and the posts themsevles navy blue" type thing! [If you're going to opt for the latter of these methods, then you might find this area colour guide useful when specifying which parts you'd like which colours. However, you needn't worry about assinging every area acolour - we can fill in the blanks. And don't feel you have to be this specific in your designing at all! ]

This is your chance to have an even greater influence on the shaping of the Smerkers forum, so why not give us some input?

Feel free to use this thread as a means of giving feedback on any existing skins as well as ones we'll be testing out and creating in the near future.

Happy creating!

Ok, cool, I'l try to get on it as soon as my pooter's working again (when my net's not spazzing, that is). The only thing I'm hesitant about is there not being very much between all the yellow/orange/red shades. In other words, a skin made up completely of these colours might be trickier to create in a way whereby you are able to differentiate between the text, background and lines all the time. I will look into it for ye, though. That's a promise.

I have an idea for that, which i'll speak to ye about soon
