New skin update!

[Lamont]

Heyo! I noticed that, in the Messages area, if you select one using the check box that pops up when hovering over it in your inbox all of the default colored links change their color to match the background. So they effectively 'disappear'. If you hover over the selected thread title the hover link color overrides this so you can see it again, and colored links such as Administrators or Moderators are not affected as I assume their assigned color overrides whatever is making the default link color change to grey. No normal text appears to be affected; just links.

The list most likely needs updating, so I will get to that rather than deleting it. We have so many little threads I forget what we have and what we don't! xP

Shadowwing

Thanks! I mainly used zap but also like the ORAS/Spring skin, so it's nice to know that the new one is good enough to swap to. But at the same time, those skins will always be there, so atleast there is a choice to switch back to them if we ever need a change.

Megan

Aww, thank you very much! We really did try to stick as close as we could to the original, zap, but our next few will be different colours entirely.

Lamont

Thanks for pointing this out. I just gave it a go too and can see exactly what you mean. I'll play around with it later and try to get it fixed!

Also updating Ana and Megan with their coins.

Good find Lamont, i've looked it over and got the text colours to behave themselves now. I've deposited 50 game coins as a thank you for spotting that.

[Lamont]

Huzzah! Glad I could help, will keep an eye out for any other stuff but this thing looks pretty solid. Thank you for the bonus

Just in case my message on the cbox gets missed I am posting it here as well. The egg tier table is no longer centered when using the new skin. It is not a huge deal but it went from being nice and centered to left aligned. I can try and change to tables size however as different skins have different sizes anyone using an older skin might be effected. Does anyone know if there is a way to size it to be centered on all the skins or is thing just a minor thing we will have to deal with? It is not too annoying but it is something I noticed when I went to look at what tier Larvesta was in.

[Morrigan]

I think I would rather have it small on this skin, so that those who choose to use one of the thinner skins still have tables that fit, rather than having it fit this one and have a huge scroll bar on the thinner skins. I do agree and like things to be uniform and such, so I'll have a word with Joey and see if we can sort something out. As long as all the images work and can be seen clearly on both skins, I don't mind too much. It's the same sort of thing with certain colours in the guides, particularly the green, just not looking right. We need to decide if we're going back to edit the colours, which would end up effecting all the skins, or just using a simple template of solid colour to hold it together.

Thanks for pointing it out though! If you see anything else that needs fixing, be sure to let us know.
I'll go and check over Ilex to see if that looks okay.

[The REAL Joey]

I'll check this out but it may very well be a case of the width from previous being so small it didn't need to have any alignment as it sat snuggly in the space it had whereas now, there's no alignment tag on it, the table just defaults to the left.

The green being off is true. I think altering that slightly should be ok.

So visually pleasing! Morri and Joey you should definitely be proud of yourselves for putting together such an awesome skin, it definitely makes the place appear alot more modern! Very glad that my new pc's monitor gets to display such a fine piece of art!

[The REAL Joey]

Haha, you're too kind.

Updating you with some coins for your comments.

Just a warning as well, this thread is de-announcing automatically tomorrow so get in whilst you can if you haven't commented to receive some coins.

I really like the new look! Looks so modern in comparison to the old one.

My only gripes are that with the lighter text boxes now, the white is less contrasting and harder on my eyes. (Though maybe my eyes are just bad, aha.)

That and there's no page navigation at the bottom of threads, so if I want to go through one, I have to scroll all the way back to the top.
Or my browser is just acting up because after posting this the nav-bar started scrolling like the old one.

[The REAL Joey]

Thanks Salem! I've deposited some coins into your account for your thoughts.

As for the text boxes, that is a fair point. I'm sure we could play around and see what sort of improvements can be done to that. Don't want to make you go blind or anything.

Hmmm not too sure about the nav bar issue. Out of interest, what browser are you using? I know Hunter mentioned something was up with his. He's using Chrome.

[Salem]

Thanks!

For the text boxes and such, I think even just a couple shades darker may do the trick. Though I've found just angling my screen back a little makes the grey contrast enough for me to be fine reading everything. So it's probably not that big of an issue and just my eyes being a little weird to the change.

I'm using Pale Moon, which is a fork of Firefox. I've been trying to keep an eye on the nav-bar and it hasn't vanished again on me, so it may have just been a one-off problem with loading something new.
