Is there only one skin? Can there be more skins? Can I build my own skin? How do I switch skins? And who's wearing shirts?

We can have alot of skins.
Frankly Idont have the time to develop another one.
However if some wants to create one, and its approved I would be willing to slice it and implement it (credit would be given of course). There are still buttons hidden around this skin that I need to customize...
However as a forewarning for someone who might want to do this, I would like to kep the nav on the top text.

Are the only things you can change the images and CSS? Or can you create a new skin right in the pages. the showthread.php puts more room into avatars than a lot of messages, and it's hard to scan the page. That's what I'd like to change. Also, I find the white text on the blue a bit to hard to read. Looks good though. I have tried the other views, but they don't do it for me either.

In theory you can change everything, but to be quite honest this version is far more complex than the previous ones. There are alot of css classes you can modify then there are all the template pages, etc.
My suggestion to you guys is to screen shot the forum home and create a masthead, and the buttons from that. You can do that with other pages.
I am not going to change how the forum displays threads, at least not now. If there is a mod or skin that becomes available to do this for this version then I may.
I found it a little weird at first but I am getting used to the new layout for the threads.
If I have some (hahahahaha) I may make a slight mod to this skin and make a version with the same buttons and header but with different text and bg colors....

I like the new design, but the blue and white is a bit too bright... I think if it were darker, like the steel blue bg, it would be nicer for my eyes to look upon.

alda do you mean the blue and white where the messages are?
This seems to be a common complaint so I may just make a change to this skin.

yes, that is what I mean... I think it's light enough for black text to work.
