Forum Skin\Theme

[Corey]

I'm thinking about changing our current forum skin... anyone want to look up some good ones and post them here? I think we can work out a prize if we end up picking one of the ones posted

Free skin, or is a paid one fine?

Either would do; I don't think he is worried about the money. Just post your idea's though.

How about a custom one that matches the website exactly, so it looks like just another 'tab' from the top menu bar?

Personally, I don't think that's a bad idea but it is quite basic when I look at it. I mean, it's not got many colours to it, it's just white. Also, haven't we changed the theme for this web site before? The current one isn't too bad, I can live with it.

If there had to be a change, what about these?

That's it for now. I'm looking at other web sites but they don't seem to load right now. I'll post later or edit this post. ;)

I also like this theme, I think it gives a pretty consistent overall theme for x10Hosting.

Although this could be a good idea, I actually think that if we set our own custom theme, we should brand the x10Hosting Forums name with that theme. It's always good to have a visual correlation with a company name.

Although dark/bright color themes are usually personal preferences, I think that dark themes are a bit harder on the eyes to read. I prefer white- or extremely light-gray-based themes, as it's more comforting to the eyes.
