Title: New Skins
Iota - April 15, 2007 05:48 AM (GMT)
Me and Mew added about 9 or 10 new skins to the skin chooser. Fairly good ones, too, though, some of them are slightly missing graphics.
Like SZ Recreation, the one I wanted to use *Sniff*
Comments? Any favorites?

I like the Tangerine.FLAVA one, but it seems to be one of the ones missing some images. Otherwise I think that they are quite good. A good deal of them remind me of the old TFS V2.0 skin we used to have.
You know what? Forget Tangerine.FLAVA. Blorange Vitrox is made of win and sex.

They're all nice, but none of them can actually beat eye sore, in my opinion.
Edit: HOLD IT. Never mind, Blorange Vitrox (Which I missed before) is now my new fave.

Yes, Blorange is very cool.
Though some of these are really harsh on the eyes, or you can't read the text properly.
I'm sticking with Midnight Blue ATM. It's not as pretty as Blorange, but it's easy on the eyes.

I'm liking 180, Dark Black, DeviantART, and SZ Recreation so far.
Although I'm... kinda addicted to Eye Sore right now. GIVE ME SOME TIME, I CAN PART WITH IT. ;_;

Ill just stick with Invision blue for now.
Proper choice demands more time.

Dragon goes right along with my WXP toolbar style and other things on my computer, so that's made of win.
But so is Blorange Vitrox. Win and sex there.

OK first I liked the Aqua Flux then I just fell in love with the Blorange
Dark blues, ornages and crash test dummy symbols FTW

Some of the skins look fairly well, but others either need to be tweaked in a major way or removed entirely.
Midnight Blue | Looks decent enough, except for that "Image hosted by Angelfire" business strewn everywhere. Plus, the text could be a bit lighter in certain areas.
*Eye Sore | A perhaps ironic name, as the colors mix rather well.
Super Saiyan Legends | The title bars, among others, need some darker colors, badly. Yellow text on light blue, red and/or white is not the way to go.
*Green/Black | Looking good, except for that small-caps font. Tahoma, Helvetica or plain old Arial will do here.
Grey Smoke | Drop-down menus are the best part.
Blue Matrix | Same light text + light bg problem.
Red and Black Remix | Looks great, but that bar near the bottom of the page (just above the posting buttons) still has that "white text on light-blue area" deal.
Orange Wave | Main bg is still white. Perhaps it could use a shade of orange?
Green Alias | Horrendous color scheme in several places. Plus, there's already Green/Black, which it seems to be a clone of. No need for the redundancy.
Blue Alias | Same issue as Blue Matrix and SSLegends.
Purple Phenomenon | Bars around tables are still in "Invision Blue" land.
Green Matrix | Same here.
*Blorange Vitrox | I'm guessing this is one of the new ones. Kick-ass.
Bluish Smudge | Not bad, though some bars should be a bit darker for this theme; guess which ones.
*Aqua Flux | Once again, great customization with the drop-down menus, including the (somewhat overlooked) Skin Selector. Hint hint.
SZ Recreation | Bars again.
tangerine.FLAVA | Some of the text is obscured by the backgrounds in some areas, such as the topic title.
Any others I didn't mention seemed alright on their own. My personal favorites are marked in bold with a nifty little asterisk next to them in case their boldness doesn't stand out so well.

Have invision blue now, will keep it. So used to it everything else looks so weird. But we should bring back the dark blue thing we had. Now THAT, skin I liked.
Prismaya - April 17, 2007 02:52 AM (GMT)
Ooh, Aqua Flux is niiiice.

DoAx Volleyball is the only one my eyes can adjust to, so I'm sticking with that one.

Argh, I'm trying to switch skins to see the new stuff, but it refuses to change over to what I select.
Any way to make it listen?

Pick it and refresh?

And make sure you have cookies enabled.

Did that, and cookies are enabled because it remembers the "Green and black" color scheme.
When it finally changes, it will I guess...
-Hey, subtract ten years and it will be.

Okay, old bump is old but I have a suggestion.
If there's a way to change the new/old posts buttons for a certain skin, I'd like these to replace the current ones in the Blorange Vitrox skin.

This is a new post marker...

This is an old post marker.
I think these would blend in better with the Blorange Vitrox skin: Its' new/old post markers are too green and contrast (in a bad way) with the skin itself.

I don't know the language that well, but if you run greasemonkey scripts in firefox click right
here and make sure it runs to z1.invisionfree.com/forums/The_Fallout_Shelter/*

Ah, thank goodness for Greasemonkey.
That works, Mewchu. :D

Just a little note, the 'Invision blue' skin's a little weird. The topic title on the page has white text, and it's on a white background. As well as other missing colors. The only way to use Invision Blue when you've used another skin seems to be to clear your Internet files/cookies. :/

If you want true blue back, just bring the scroll up to the "choose your skin" option at the top of the box

I swear that didn't work for me the other times I've tried it.
WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN?
Coraxus - May 10, 2007 04:11 PM (GMT)
I still miss that one skin that PoM made for us just prior to TFS crashing. :(

Am I the only one that only sees the language in the 'Skin and Languages' tab?
