Not to mention offending our designer who she made the entire style in photoshop, picture, background image, forum icons, header, footer. The entire Catherin theme.
This skin also requires php coding for the header and notification system. Live version of the header is on the forum but different style.
Avatars are avatars some users will use rendered versions, others won't - it is not part of the skin. But yes my avatar is not perfectly rendered.
What I've done before I used vb is I would clean up any avatars the members uploaded. Although I've never had so many members that I could not keep up. I'm just a stickler for details. As my soldiers used to say about me, "I'm ate up with it". That's mostly a guy saying, especially in the military.
Actually I coded this by hand from scratch (not the screenshots above see the ones below) then was asked to use the vB Socialize Skin since she had already acquired it respectively.
No offense Mike, i have a lot of respect for you & i really do.
See the final result, it almost looks identical to the pure vb skin, except the header & footer. You did what you were asked to.
My point is this ain't a 100% custom coded skin & it has inspiration from socialize skin.

Peace out.
Well the way I was going about it in my initial screenshots, it would have been 100% custom as I used nothing from the socialize skin that was from scratch but you're right I'm doing as instructed so the person gets what they want .
So far so good, little more adjustment and such:
Also you two try not to "egg" each other on, you're both entitled to your own opinions but no need to post little comments and rile someone up, know what I mean?
The whole "100% custom" thing is a myth anyway. If a style were 100% custom, we would have designed our own forum script first. All skins are built off of, and limited by, the original vB default. If you happen to use one of the seven base colors in the spectrum, even if you haven't incorporated or built off of another style, odds are it's going to look like somebody's. I personally prefer when a skin makes it hard to tell what forum script you're using. Regular Socialize is pretty obviously vB 4. Superman's, you can't tell. Which is as it should be.
