More Skins

I would like to suggest adding more skins to the forum. Out of the five that are now available, I can't find one that does not hurt my eyes, is easy to read, and has easily recognizable new post icons. How about something light, with darker letters and bright icons?? I know few that I would like from phpBB, but I'm not too familiar with vbulletin skins.

If you can find a few that you'd like added, we can probably give them a test drive.

I find that Hardwired is easy on the eyes, and the icons are pretty straightforward. On the index, a dot means a forum has no new posts, and arrow means new posts. In each forum, a small triangle and bold title mean a thread has new posts, a regular title means it doesn't.

He's tried the dark ones, they don't work for him, and I agree with him. Sandstorm is the lightest skin, and in my opinion still isn't that great, but I use it. Are there any repositories of free skins out there? I'll spend time searching through them if you can point me in the right direction.

I've tried to find some good free skins...so far no luck. It seems like most of them you have to purchase in a bundle. I remember when hal was messin with the newest skins and asked for help finding some more.. I looked for hours and came up with nothing. Alas, I'm not an obsessive librarian who is also a vibrantly colored fruit so that may have been my error

Heh, my card catalog is mostly stuff that other people linked me to, not stuff I've found myself.

I wonder how much work goes into designing a theme. Is there a free skin editor? I suppose I'd probably need vBulletin itself running on my system in order to make it happen.

Am I too vibrant? I switched my avatar once, but Nancy made me switch back.

I am currently using this skin, and I like everything except for the icons. They don't really jump out and say "Hey, come over here!! There's a new post."

I'll start searching for some more skins. What's your policy on the legality of the skins???

Sandstorm is the only one that doesn't hurt my eyes. Last summer I was using a different one that also worked well until it was taken away. I can't remember the name, but I seem to remember it having blue colors.

I use hardwired as it looks good, is clear regarding icons and I feel a darker background is best. Otherwise I feel like I'm staring at a lightbulb all day long. Not that that's particularly relevant to this thread...

Alright, I've done some surfing and I found five skins that I personally like (my favorite is Cobalt):

Ambience (have it)
Cobalt (still looking for it)
Applied (still looking)
Synapse (have it)
Mecka (have it)

The whole list of skins is available here and here. I still need to find Cobalt and Applied. I have the rest, so if you want to I can send them over.
