NEW SKIN UPDATE! (1/30/08)

[Cheesemaster IV]

So, as of today, January 30th, 2008, thirteen new skins have been added! Several skins from the old Administration For All (AFA) forum have been added, as well as four new skins. A preview of all the new skins, as well as a review and rating for each one by Cheesemaster himself are available below. *Note* Many of the skins had names that were incredibly long which made them rape the layout on the profile edit page, so they were given shorter names. Each skin below is listed by their full name, and then their shorter one in brackets (if they have one).

AFA Skins

The following skins were skins originally made for AFA that were remade here on XF.

blue

So this skin, the first of the AFA skins, is basically just plain blue. It is completely one shade of blue, including all of the text and all of the background. Now, it's not a bad shade of blue, but it's the same colour text on the same colour background, so it's impossible to read. I suppose if you were seriously planning to use this, you could press ctrl+A on every page to select all the text.

plain and simple

This was originally a skin that I made that would look somewhat all right, and be readable, so that I would have a skin to use instead of all these other ones on AFA. It's basically just black text on a white background. While rather boring, it's nice and simple.

I'm just picking random colours here off the colour chart, we'll see how it turns out (Random Colours)

While creating skins for AFA, I had this brilliant idea to just click on random colours in the colour chart, and see what I get. Upon creating this and changing to it, I notice my profile page actually looks decent. However, when accessing the main page, I noticed that this skin just looks completely horrible. It's amazing what just one colour can do to a skin.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. (You are likely to be eaten by a grue.)

Does this look familiar to anyone? Well it should! Re-live all those years of playing Zork with this nice classic looking skin! (This skin may be more liked by others, though I really don't like light text on dark background colour schemes.)

Random shades of green

Ok, this is just awful. Like the random colours one, I just clicked on random colours, however, I made sure they were all shades of green. This turned out really bad, and I would never recommend ever using it. Seriously, even using "blue" is better. I mean, it might look decent if you like green and if it was changed around a little and wasn't just random shades, but it's not, so it's awful.

Just picking random colours II (Random Colours II)

I had so much fun while creating "I'm just picking random colours here off the colour chart, we'll see how it turns out", that I decided to make another! However, this one didn't turn out quite as good (not that the first one was any good). But hey, at least it's readable, right?

I'm filling in all these boxes by alternating between red, green, and blue (Alternating between red, green, and blue)

Just read the title of this skin for an explanation. The green text on green background doesn't work well, so this is just awful.

Just picking random colours III (Random Colours III)

Once again, I really liked picking random colours, so this skin was made. It doesn't look too bad, except for that shade of purple. Much like the first random colours skin, it's just one colour that silks the whole skin.
Rating: 3/10

Spider-Man

Ok, this skin is just awesome! It's red with blue, and has black lines and black text, just like Spider-Man's outfit! Well, his outfit doesn't have text, but the spider picture is black. For whatever reason, this skin has a picture of Forest being cool in the background. However, -6 points for having blue text on a red background.
Rating: 4/10

New Skins

These skins were not originally found on AFA, and were instead made while the others were being remade here.

Random Colours IV

Once again I decided to make another random skin. I wanted to see how bad (or good) of a skin could be made without actually having to make an entire skin. This one turned out pretty awful.

flower

So, I actually rather liked the first random colours skin, except for the brown backgrounds. I experimented with some colours, and eventually a light blue looked decent. Despite being random colours, the rest of the colours seemed to go together surprisingly well. The skin reminded me of flowers, so I titled the skin "flower".
Rating: 8/10

Random Colours V

This is just disgusting and is truly what picking random colours is about. It doesn't get a 0, however, because it's readable (somewhat).

Colours on the colour chart in order

I had this amazing idea that I would choose each of the colours on the colour chart in order. Of course, it turned out awful.

That last one isn't too bad.

[Cheesemaster V]

Most of these are retarded and should probably be deleted (with the exception of blue, plain and simple, the grue one, and flower) because we have like a billion skins that no one uses and they're all terrible. Maybe keep one terrible one because it's funny (I think Random Colours V is pretty good).

This will be the next thing addressed after the board rearrangement.

[Saxy Steph]

nice.

Don't forget my other request, the one I posted in the staff board.
