I think the style itself is great. A lot of thought has been put into improving its usability, so I disagree with shelley completely in that regard. But she's so right about the buttons/icons. The default ones are horrific. I'd rather have a cat slowly scratch me to death, than willingly run a forum using the stock button set.

I wouldn't use this skin in a million years but it's just what they need.
I wasn't referring to navigation, fuctionabilty it's usability to an extent. I'm referring to the style, the design more importantly the re-colouring. I'd go as far as saying the default look but that's another thread. It's clear the vbulletin default look is here to stay (whether members like it or not) but the colouring hurts my eyes on the green, red and esp the purple. It's sloppy workmanship and I don't care what anyone says about it, it is.
For someone that cares about usability, the styles strain the eyes so that's not having consideration for members and I'm sick of being stuck with this terrible blue style. And magnumutz, the staff don't care about graphics? Where are you getting this information? you may be right but where is the source you got that from?
