    Default Is there a way to change the forum skin?

    Is there a way to change the forum skin?
    This black-green thingie is hurting my eyes

    I've searched through all the options in the UserCP, but found nothing. I think it should be mandatory for any forum to have a normal white-gray skin.


    Please help me

    We can change it, sure.

    Does anyone else not like the look?

    I don't want to be a pain in the butt, but this is really painfull for me. Just a normal black letters on a white background skin would do, or any similar (kinda like dvinfo has). You don't have to change it for everyone, just include an option to switch between the skins.

    Okay, made an alternative style available; keep in mind that it needs tweaking....it's out-of-the-box right now, until I get a minute to make some adjustments......

    Aaaaaaaaaaah, that's way better! Just finish off the green buttons and we're all set.

    Thanx for this!

    The look is the whole reason I'm here. Ha. Just kidding. Mal I find the color scheme to be very comfortable on the eyes. I can't stand black on white. It's like in your face and very harsh. Just my opinion. I wish I could have my guestbook with this color scheme. Actually I was going to look into the vendor on this forum to see what it would take to use it as a forum/guestbook on my site. It's very friendly. Has anyone else found the "New Posts" to be really cool for finding the latest. Since it know who I am, it's right on the money and saves me time. It even knows from work to home what the "New Posts" are. Very nice.

    Cool!

    Well, I like the look too, but I appreciate Numbox asking here, especially as it was so easy to implement another option (selectable through one's profile setting).

    I'll be glad to add/remove or do anything (within reason! ) that will continue to make this a cool place.

    I liked the look right from the start, not hard on my eyes at all, but very nice that you have given those people who do find it hard on their eyes a choice.

    As this computer is out in my camper, which is in front of my shop, stumbling out of it at night can be a bit of a trial, so the colour scheme helps my night vision immensely.

    I'm using the new skin as well. I didn't hate the original one, but there were some things that didn't work well for my eyes either. Not enough for me to complain but I'm happy numbox said something.
