How about starting with the look itself. While there are some amazing changes the beta appears the same as 2.1 really.

Perhaps start with subtle changes, I was thinking a darker blue? I actually thought 2.2 was going this route when staff images here turned up and looked really good.

Dang, I just forgot a bunch of ideas I had! Oh well.

Oh, I liked that bar under the smilie table for formatting and now it is gone.

Edit: There was one thing, I'd like to see next to the total amount of members "active members" or "active" total, which you can turn off/on and pick which groups to use and which to ignore in the tally.

I would have to agree its time for a change in default color. Altho That would be a good thing for IPB 3.0 ^_^

I think the default skin is fine. Overall its nice and you can always get a new skin more to your liking. I think what should be work on are the parts that are not so much part of the skin but more default stuff.

Well sure but even a slight change to differentiate it. Like I said keep it how it is but maybe make the blue darker, or dark blue.

Also I'd like to see the "topic starter" closer to the left, maybe not like vB where it's under but over near it more.

This would put Views and Replies next to each other again, which I'm not sure how I feel about.

I would like to see a darker default. Not like it'd be hard to do.
