Dark vs. Light skin

[Snake]

Which type of skin do you prefer or use and is the best to you? Dark or light skin? Well I am interested more in dark skins since they're much better.

Light skins - more professional imo :P

[Snake]

No way! :O

Light, by a mile.

Dark skins are hard on the eyes.

Depends on the content of the forum... I would never be able to see my forum in a light skin.

My members prefer dark skins; they all seem to be up at 6 am and light ones give them eye pain.

It depends how the dark skin was created. For example the skin called "AfterDark" by vBStyles is very easy to read and good on the eyes in both night and day. But in general some dark skins can be hard to read because they are too dark and use the wrong font colour etc.

A lot depends of the design with dark skins. You either get it right or wrong.

I find light skins hurt my eyes more than darks skins after a while, it's the brightness that gets to my eyes.

Light Skins all the way. Dark skins seem depressing.

Depends really... but if I had to choose I would go with light.
