Primed Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Actually I've seen a pretty even response... The general opinion of the skin seems split down the middle. And I'm part of that half prefers this skin to Classic Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis P Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm looking to delete skins from my board, have put up a poll and the IP.Board Pro is the one they want to keep! Ahead of my custom skins and the other ones I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm tempted to rename the skin 'Marmite' :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...paul Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 :lol: It does seem to be attracting 'love it' or 'hate it' comments with very little in between -- 'Marmite' would be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason L Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I didn't quite understand what you meant by 'Marmite', *dumb American*, until I found a Love It/Hate It site for Marmite, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I didn't quite understand what you meant by 'Marmite', *dumb American*, until I found a Love It/Hate It site for Marmite, lol.Yeah, it's a brand of spread in the UK that is iconic for being 'love it or hate it'. I hate it, it's disgusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Dopey~ Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I actually like the skin, I've stuck with it. On here I (as do we all) have a choice of the old default or this new 'IP.Board Pro' ... and I'm using IP.Board Pro. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends on what you want in a skin.Will you be writing a script or something like i choose a colour - it will automaticly change the colours for buttons, layout, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_ Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The most members of my forum doesn't like the new skin. It's sure, more professional than the old one but I think they are right about the colors, there are too dark and sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the previous default skin was too bright and obnoxious to look at all day! Which is worse? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike X Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Blue was the colour that garnered the best user response.. learn HCI from uni :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watty Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Since there are, at a minimum, 2 skins available - and if all/most of your members dislike the "Pro" skin, then why not make it NOT available to them? To take it a bit further, why not download some of the free skins available out there and offer them to your members?Also, the skin was just publicly released - so give it a few days (or weeks) as I'm sure someone will code a "color changer" for it and make it available. :)As has been mentioned many times, this skin was designed with "changing it" in mind, hence a LOT of CSS and basic colors. I haven't looked at the CSS yet, but I'm sure if you look at it, you should be able to figure it out. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest YoY0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 People who dislike something tend to complain vocally.People who like something tend to not say anything unless specifically asked.That is so true, most people will not comment on the skin when they like it.I agree they're darker colours, but that's why I like it!, see... I run a gaming community and most users of my board like those sort of skins which tend to be darker than normal. So as said here a few times, it all comes down to personal preference.By the way... Has anyone customised the header with their own?, I'd like to see others using this skin with a different header/logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
