This forum needs a new skin.

I would make a real nice one if I had a template for the size and shape of all the stuff.

...how many times has this been mentioned?
Make a good one for phpBB and we might use it

I like it like this.

I'm sorry but almost every phpbb skin I've ever seen is nauseating or a pile of it. Especially the ones that try to regulate forum width. Ick.

You could probably port the phpbb skin of your choosing to a userstyle for Firefox.

Another reason not to install one: subsilver doesn't really heavily rely on images. Many phpbb skins do. Don't the forums eat up enough bandwidth as it is?

Why do people always ask this without ever once giving a good skin suggestion?! It looks fine the way it is, I think.

Yeah you kinda get use to this skin and its the best ive seen so far considering the phpbb forums.

It could have a black background with green text and borders. Retro.

It depends on how bright of a green you talking about.

Gotta love the old command prompts.

Some people here are colourblind you know, be wary of that....

Well that's why it wouldn't be default...

The only reason most colorblinds wouldn't be able to use it would be if regular text was green and links etc were red. If they actually couldn't see color (monochromacy), it'd look like a DOS prompt anyway, black and white.

To any of you who want to try to make a good looking skin. Ben once mentioned an idea of a Atari theme. It would have black, brushed aluminum and wood grain. If anyone wants to try to make one like that please.

If not, guess what make a suggestion as to a skin or make one yourself. It's really tiresome having people make demands for things when they don't even offer a little help or encouragement.

Im trying to figure out how to make my own skin, using Firefox userstyles.

Is there a better way to do make one? If not, Is there a way to make the userstyle showup only on this site?
