Title: Board Skins?


Oilers Fans - July 23, 2004 03:34 PM (GMT)
I've been thinking, should we add a skin on this board to make it more...customized? The plain old skin we have now is sorta ugly after you look at some of the ones out there. Here is the InvisionFree Skin Zone. If anyone needs to log in, use 'Weens99' and the password 'password.'

I was looking into that last February. I wanted something that was either red and white (so it looked Canadian), or had a snow or hockey theme.

I came up empty in my search. All the red ones look awful and were hard to read. I couldn't find any other good themed skins, and then abandoned that project.

If you can find a good one though, I'd love to see something unique here.

Same here

I tried to change my personal skin to green but it didnt work :(

Carbanousa - July 24, 2004 12:51 AM (GMT)
There's one called Red 5 that's supposed to be bright red, but nothing Canadian themed. Perhaps some other sites may have some but I've not found many yet.

Here are a few skins for your consideration:

Red 5

Chrome: red

Touch of red

Amped red

Big Red

G-Pod Red

Red Bloom

Ice Blue

Winter breeze *Note the snowmen can be removed.

and a bonus skin. (WARNING: put on eye protection before viewing this skin.) B)


I like Red Bloom and Chrome:red best myself.

Red 5's nice.

What, no green choices?! :P

I like Touch of red.

It's calm on the eyes.

I agree. I like Big Red too.

Blackshear - July 25, 2004 02:37 AM (GMT)
If you decide to change the forum skin (and can agree which one to change it to ;) ), let me know and I can pass the corresponding codes on to an admin.

All wings report in...
Codes located on the InvisionFree site. :D

DrunkenHosers - July 25, 2004 03:09 AM (GMT)
I like Ice Blue. But if we're looking for a truely Canadian skin, we might want to consider creating one of our own. We must have some artists around here, somewhere.

Big red or Touch of red? :huh:

Checkers McDog - July 25, 2004 03:30 AM (GMT)
Oh I meant, I agree, I like Touch of Red. AND I like Big Red.

Ess - July 25, 2004 03:34 AM (GMT)
Ahhh!
Duh! (me) :P

But, you like Touch of red best, don't you?! :clap: :angel: :D

I like Amped Red, its funky. Red-5 is pretty neat. and G-Pod Red is pretty cool. The other ones are just too boring for me, but heyla, that's, well, me! :P

Touch of Red I could agree with.

Emus in denial - July 25, 2004 05:36 AM (GMT)
gotta go with the bonus skin on this one
*looks around sees no one buying it*

or maybe touch of red. this sort of thing seems to be begging for a poll thread
*wink wink nudge nudge*

Blackshear - July 25, 2004 03:32 PM (GMT)
Just for fun, I made up a sample board of what this forum could look like with the Touch of Red skin and a custom banner.

Take a look here.

bweezy - July 25, 2004 03:39 PM (GMT)
I want that skin for our forums, and I want it NOW!!! :)

Carbanousa - July 25, 2004 04:06 PM (GMT)
What's the Code Blackshear?

Blackshear - July 25, 2004 04:17 PM (GMT)
I'll PM it to you. The banner is a separate hosted image that will need to be discussed.

Micon - July 25, 2004 04:24 PM (GMT)
That looks great Black

Thanks so much.

Carbanousa - July 25, 2004 04:41 PM (GMT)
Done. A big thanks to Blackshear for the code and banner image.
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Leisine - July 25, 2004 04:55 PM (GMT)
Very, very, very nice whoever changed it. It looks great. I like it 10x more than the old one.

Checkers McDog - July 25, 2004 05:34 PM (GMT)

Nice board skin!

bweezy - July 25, 2004 07:40 PM (GMT)
This is outstanding.

Checkers McDog - July 25, 2004 07:49 PM (GMT)
Is it just me, or can you not see the banner anymore?

EDIT: Nevermind, there it is...

Carbanousa - July 25, 2004 09:19 PM (GMT)
Banner problem should be fixed now.

Ess - July 25, 2004 11:34 PM (GMT)
Very nice!!

Thanks for all the help, Blackshear!! ^_^

MrPopo - July 26, 2004 12:16 AM (GMT)
It's not green :( . But I guess it'll do ^_^

Blackshear - July 26, 2004 12:53 AM (GMT)
What if the Canadian forum was green? I wonder..?

I hope you like it Mr. Popo. ;)
