I'm sure most of you have noticed that the new Anaheim Ducks skin is up. First I would like to thank Marshy for setting up. I finished up the graphics last night. Just like the new jerseys I'm sure not everyone will like it. If you would like to change to one of the older skins you can. There is a skin drop down menu on the bottom left of the board. If you have any comments or problems with the new skin please post them here.

Thanks,

M T

It's great and it's my default. I was wondering if you could center the name, avatar, info like before... if not no biggie.

I just switched over and I'm loving it! Thanks to you and Marshy for providing this to us so quickly.

For the new skin it is just "REPLY" instead of "ADD REPLY". I'm might change it back.

I don't see that one either or the edit button. I see the outline of where the quote button is.

On new skin, lost "view new post button", no add new post or reply post buttons, and posts with multiple pages, the page numbers are black on black. Running latest firefox.

edit: actually, i've had this same problem with the allducks white skin too. Must be something in the templates...

Just took a look at the new skin and I don't see any buttons at all for anything. ohmy.gif Also, the boxes where the avatars go all seem to be different sizes, which kind of throws the look off.

Other then that, it looks quite nice. smile.gif

Can you change the colour of the cursur in the fast reply box? As of now it's black like the back ground, so you can't see it. Other than that, I like the new skin; I've moved to it from the classic one.

There must have been some tweaking done between the time this thread was first put up and now. I'm liking the new skin much better since there is more differentiation between the shades of gray from box to box, which makes reading AD that much easier on the eyes! banana.gif

blink.gif Nope. The grays were much darker and largely undifferentiated earlier. Maybe there's no difference on your browser, but there is on mine.

I see what my problem was, my Nortans Internet Security was blocking the buttons. blink.gif I turned it off and suddenly the buttons appeared. The only thing with the buttons is (now that I can see them) maybe the text on them should be a different color, something darker. Right now they are kind of hard to read.

I do like this better then even the old classic skin. Much better contrast, which as GS35 said, makes it easier to read and easier on the eyes. smile.gif

Baltic, you are a genius! wink.gif

Had to whitelist your entire site MT (adblock extension for firefox had blocked a bunch of your buttons for some reason...)

Page numbers on threads with multipages are still a bitch to read though. Looks like purple text on black boxes...

I just noticed that the wallpaper link, and SC's blog etc are also missing from the link. I'm not having any of the issues in reading at all.

The page numbers thing ... i have to crank up brightness on my monitor to 100% to see it, so i think it's a monitor thing. I'm sure if i had an LCD and not this crappy 10 year CRT at work, it probably wouldn't look so bad. tongue.gif

List so far:
  • Centre the user's name, avatar and such in the column.
  • Links at the top of the page aren't there.
  • The buttons are getting block by Norton (but that's not your problem I'd have thought).
  • Can't see the curser in text boxes (black on black) meaning it's hard to type.
  • The buttons on users posts are hard to read (Black boarder around the words to fix that?)
  • The Ducks under people's names are the old logo, with a egg plant background on them.
  • The 'AD' logojust under the banner is the purple one still.
  • Can't read the page numbers, too dark of a gray with the black text.
  • Staff badges are the new ones all in other skins too
Maybe take the orange out of the template, it seems a little out of place to me (despite the fact it's a team colour). It's under used I think. hmm.gif

You've now got a list to go and fix tongue.gif No reason to put your feet up laugh.gif.

The top 2 aren't problems for me at all wink.gif It must be your monitor settings. My cursor is white.

I disagree with taking the orange out. As a matter of fact, I'd like to see more orange on the template maybe as highlights. Whether people like it or not it is a team color.
