    Default New look

    I've added a "Light" & a "Dark" template.

    You can choose your favorite by scrolling all the way down to the lower left corner and choose form the drop down menu. Or...

    You can go to SETTINGS at the top right corner, then on your left side menu click on GENERAL SETTINGS, then scroll down to Miscellaneous Options, and then FORUM SKIN to permanently change it.

    Like both... but the dark one is AWESOME.... much better to read white on black than black on white IMHO..

    out of interest have you ever thought of having the banner at the top show any images from any of Bay's movies? maybe have it rotated between movies each time you refresh/move between pages?

    It's something you have to adjust permanently in your settings.

    I like some of the new styles, although I don't generally prefer dark backgrounds; I feel they are harder on my eyes, but it's nice that it can be changed for everyone's preference. The color in many of the avatars really pop out on the black backgrounds, which I really like.

    The lightBlack, Blue, and Red styles are okay, but I don't like the way the "Shoot for the Edit" text looks. I think the white outline reduces the "clean" and minimalist look of the rest of the forum and site, so right now I'm sticking with the simple "light" style.

    Fixed.

    Since the "light" themes share the same "Shoot for the Edit" graphic, the black text became invisible with a black or dark header, so I added the 2 pixel stroke. Upon further consideration, I decided to eliminate the stroke and just lighten the black text into a light grey.

    Now I think the light-colored themes look really good.

    Just a small update. All skin colors have been renamed so you might have to re-choose your fav color.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    I'm trying to do it but by the time I finish my session keeps on timing out, causing me to lose all of my saved changes.
