Hi,

I recently created a new style for my forums and was just wondering if I could get some comments/suggestions on it.

I created it based on my home page.

Thanks!

I do not like the logo, the lettering is quite small and hard to read at my resolution (1280x1024). It also has an empty feel to the whole area, like there should be more there...a gradient or something so the items just do not look so lost.

The rest of the skin is dark, but well done. The thread icons do seem out of place against the darker background and other buttons (thread_hot.gif), darkening them a bit would help.

With dark skins I generally recommend also having a lighter alternative to cater to those who prefer them. I do not think that your skin is very hard on the eyes, so it is not necessary...it is a nice Quality of Life change though.

You have good traffic for the amount of forums you have. Keep an eye on the community and expand when it is ready.

In all it is a very nice skin. The logo is not to my liking, but other than that it is very well done

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
