In the near future we will be upgrading the board software to the newest version. This will add a lot of new features. With this we might have a couple of days where the board may look different while a new board skin is being created.

Big thanks to stecube for taking on the task of making us a new skin!!!

i am playing around a bit too. i dont have access to photoshop but i can help with the CSS. I noticed that the old Anaheim Ducks 2.1 is close to the new one and if you use the CSS Easy Editor, you can plug and play some colors for the most part. The two skin sets are about 80% compatible.

right now i have a working skin that is about 70% done. This new software is throwing me for loops though and without my programs like Photoshop and Dreamweaver, this is interesting.... I am doing it by hand... :S

I am modifying stecube's code now tryign to speed things up as my documentation that I was using was wrong.


I will go to say that I do not like this new format that the software updated too. Its a pain in the ass and this could take a while folks seeing as I know some of the ideas that we are having to go with are not going to be fan favorites however the choices we are making as skinners are because of the stupid coding.

I will say that there will be a lot of orange...

hmm.gif This all does not sound promising.

Is there somewhere (some link) that I could go and study, and, perhaps, come up to speed on this IP, IB, whatever, software?
Just asking. No promises. wacko.gif

Oooh - thanks for the upgrade MT. I'm looking forward to the new skins (even if they do have a lot of orange in them). dribble.gif

Oh man, this is gettin' freaky.
First this all goes into some level of the ozone.
Then it comes back all wierd.
And now it returns with all the orange and black.
hmm.gif Just in time for Halloween? laugh.gif

So . . . I just finished the skin, but I haven't tested it at all. There sure will be some graphical glitches, but technically it should work 100%.

Please be so kind and tell me if sth doesn't work or if some graphic is totally out of place.

The buttons could remain as they are or they could be made new from scratch, but not today, since I'm awake since nearly 24h . . .

That said . . . G'night! laugh.gif

The reply box is still blue, which looks a little odd with all the rest of the black and orange, but other than that, it's great Stecube. Thanks for all your hard work!! worthy.gif

Skin looks awesome guys, the only thing I have to say is that in quotes, links don't show up well. I know you're still working on it though, and it looks great. smile.gif

Is there any way to change where the banner link takes you? As of now it takes me back to the Portal, and to be honest, that's not my favorite part of the board...

The credit goes to stecube on this one.


As for the fast reply box, we cant change that for some reason. I am not sure why but there isnt a place to change that....
