Insignia gets my vote. Nice, pleasant, my only quibble is that the quick reply box icons are grey on a lighter grey. But I don't use them, so it's alright

I prefer darker backgrounds as well, but frombasics dark hurts my eyes and seems a bit boring to me. I like insignia and eid Muburak the best, and the forest one for a light one.

I-Bulletin green has grown on me already. Sometimes its a liitle hard to make out sigs. THe dark one that a lot of people seem to like is my least favorite.

Here's one more vote for the old forest (?) color scheme. Dark. Beautiful. TFP was my refuge from video migraines.

For now I'm using Insignia but it doesn't hold a candle.

I like the I-Bulletin myself. Much quicker then the old version.

Insignia gets my vote. I used the old Dark Blue before and this is the closest. fromBasics dark is just too dark. The perfect color for me would be somewhere between Insignia and fromBasics Dark.

One thing I don't like about insignia is background color on the tables with the Date and Post number (hex #9DB0C4) is almost identical to the text color(hex #B8C5D4.) It kinda draws your eyes away from the text and I just keep seeing that Blue bar.

fromBasics Dark is my favorite of the bunch. Although Insignia is nice too.

I really like the lighter styles (Kirch & I-Bulletin), but understand that many others like dark. I hope that both light and dark themes will be available, even if all of the top vote getters are dark.

And I know it isn't on the list, but the standard V-Bulletin 3 is nice as well.

CaliLivChick

Purple!!! A little darker, perhaps, but PURPLE!!! =)

the fromBasics Dark would be OK, but the margins are entirely too wide and there's no discernible difference between read threads and unread threads...

vbulletin 3 has nice small margins and you can tell what's been read and what hasn't easily... yeah it's a little bright but it's been so damn gloomy lately a little bright is needed... Just less purple...

The voting results seem to be age-specific so far. Some of us older users should still be able to use the simpler formats such as Kirsch and Eid Mubarek. Just something to consider. Thanks for all your work Hal. I really like the vbulletin3.

More dark-colored themes please They're easier on the eyes.

any of I-Bulletin is nice, and I try to forum troll in higher res, so the wider styles are preferred.....

Insignia does it best for me so far. looks the best on 1200x1024 and I like the darker colors, much easier on the eyes.

theguyondacouch

My favorite is 2evolve forest, but the basic dark is quite nice as well.

I've minimally revived the old TFPv4 style.. ya know.. the green one. However a lot is broken, so just be aware. I'll probably reconstruct it under a different style ID, so just be aware that if you use it now, you may have to reconfigure it later.

Insignia is by far the coolest one here. I like it a lot! reminds me the most of the old green.

Yea Halx I am still a fan of the old v4 style, but that might be because I was used to it and no one likes change..... right?

Elphaba

Hal, I seem to be stuck with the experimental skins. Is there a means to get back to the skin that came up automatically with your upgrade. There were great features there.

Thank you again for all your work.

Pen

Halx

At the bottom of every page is a pulldown menu for you to select your favorite style.

I'm deleting Candy, Kirsch and I-Bulletin Green/Purple to just clean things up on my end.

I'm getting used to Insignia. I liked the contrast better with the old style but this could grow on me.
Thank god. Candy was Satan in wonderland.

I like the insignia and I just started using gant style and I'm kinda liking that too except there are some things I cant read.

fresnelly

A few days in now, I've gone back to good ol' green. In the end, frombasics dark just didn't do it for me. As much as I liked its title graphic and border, I missed having the boundries extend to the width of the browser window, and I didn't like the text styles on the index pages.

You can call me dull if want, but I likes what I like.

ShaniFaye

I dont like any of the new ones....I'll be sticking with the green one I've always used

Yeah, I went back to the old style.

It just isn't TFP otherwise.

I like the new colors. I voted for eidmubarak, but changed to Insignia. I'm a sucker for anything bluish or grayish or something....

It's so funny....I've always been a fan of the original (TFP Green), but I didn't read all of this thread and didn't realize that was what it was called. I changed the style just to see what the others looked like, then got frantic when I couldn't figure out how to get back to TFP Green (again, not knowing what it was called, and it doesn't look green to me, anyway). I really got physically uncomfortable until I found it again. Then it was like a weight lifted from my shoulders. This is pathetic.

Pu-LEASE can you bring back the purple?!? I won't ask for any changes to it either, I just loved having purple! Pu-LEASE?!?

I went thru all the styles, but ended up with the good ole green. Like snowy said, it just isn't TFP otherwise.

Tried the "fromBasics Dark" for a few days and it was OK but since you made the ol' "TFP Green" available again I'm back on it and prefer it over all the others.

theguyondacouch

Now that I've given them all a more thorough run through, I'm diggin bo20 quite a bit, but the flashing icons on the main forum page drive me nuts, so it's still got to be 2evolve forest for me.

I also prefer the lighter styles, however I don't like the really bright ones.


My favorite theme was the desert/tan as it was light, but not too bright. Hopefully it will return?

Of all the styles currently available, I like I-Bulletin best. I wish I had the chance to try the purple, though, since I discovered the available styles a little late...

I prefer warmer colours but nothing too bright. I'm sort of an in-between guy, I guess...

I also like styles that don't artificially narrow the content (they have wide margins, I guess?) . It's just a waste of screen real estate and I prefer the larger font...

bobby

to old to change now.....TFP green....the old style suits my old eyes!!!


...THANKS !!! XOXOXOO BOBBY
