LiquidFractal Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sorry if this is a repeat post (which it is almost sure to be)....but I was wondering what the deal will be for skins? My situation is this: my forums are really simple....and I happen to REALLY REALLY like the default blue colour scheme that you get up to 2.3.6. I've taken a look at 3.0 and it's definitely sweet....however, the default skin colour scheme just doesn't do it for me like the steely blue default you've used in the past. My question, then, is: will you be including this scheme as a selectable default? And if not...PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE? :unsure: And remember.....a good pun is its own reword.

IBTheme Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 While I'm unsure if IPS will offer the traditional default blue skin in the new upcoming IPB 3.0, I'm certain that if they do not, that someone will. It is a good possibility that I could offer this if it's not already in the works. Hopefully Rikki can shed some light on this subject for us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakEyez02 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 As mentioned by IPS before, all discussion related to the IPB 3 release is over at the preview forums and since you are a customer you have access: Your answer is here:http://ipb3preview.ipslink.com/topic/626/o...rch/1#entry2109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CynicalFrost Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I would assume that you could, *if you really wanted to*, recreate the "classic" member bar in skins, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDFR Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Here my first IPB 3.0 skin, it's not finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Garcia Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 And why are we skinning in beta versions aye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertimber2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well there is the angle of practice, learning the new skinning system, Then figuring out where to put the changes you want to create the effect you want, Trying out a new look Being able to have a complete skin for the final release (even if you do have to create the skin anew with the 3.0 final build). Etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc, etc. Ah I understand now thanks. I'm sure there is gonna be more changes in which you have to relearn what you just learned? So there is no point of doing a full skin, you can learn just poking through. Then when final comes out you have to go around looking for parts of the skin that needs to be fixed. Could be a pain in the long run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chanced of the beta skin working on the final release is 99.98% Learn before you comment. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of other places he's said it too. :thumbsup: (Edit: The post directly after this one in this very thread, also.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very likely skins made on beta releases will not be completely compatible with the final release. CSS will change and templates will change.

LiquidFractal Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thank you so much to you both! :) (that made me smile for the first time today!) Hugs, Sherri Anytime. :) I've seen your other skins and they look excellent...my Forums are just too small to warrant fancy stuff right now. Having said that, that skin looks so sweet (especially without the "IPB" icons) that, for the first time, I might be coerced into purchasing a skin. Keep up the good work!

sullywully Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 That skin looks Great :D My forum at http://www.sullyworld.co.uk is a version 2.3.6, i skinned it, I will upgrade when 3.0 comes out, does it have many new features? Sully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should learn before you comment. :thumbsup: I am going to get a few skins designed, and wait until the final comes out to have my coder code them so I can produce more skins faster. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
