Why am I not blinded by this skin? ;D

But I like the background. A lot. Sometimes the text can be hard to read... But meh. :P

Also your screenshot has a silly white box on top.

Yeah, I noticed that >>

Yeah, the text is hard to read part on the screenie is supposed to be the blinding part :P But the main reason is that it's so bright.

I think it's good, so I might make a topic in news for the "Completed" version. Anything I should improve first?

Also, what other skins would you like to see? No more images for backgrounds please though, they make loading slow it seems...

Like what? Maybe make a mockup in paint?

No, I meant you o that so I can tell what you'd like XD

But let's start with this; what colour scheme would you like to see? And if we had a default, we could get rid of the Vista mimic as a default, which kinda slows down loading.

Possibly... It seems to go good now, but how would I do it, I mean unless I figure out what's what, the black'll basically disappear unless I add the certain colour that's the banner box...

Make the backround white, headers blue, text black, and leave the whole banner like it is. Just put blue around it, not behind it.

... That's the problem though... The banner's transparent, so the only true black is the black that the Matrix backgrounds give, but I can easily fix that by having the background black, and one black(Hold the banner if it overflows), one blue(One of the normal post boxes), and one another shade of blue(The sub-forum link box on the main forum page) with white text. Of course, I may totally wrong and this could have a separate option for that banner spot, and I'm just overreacting of course...

Yeah I made the banner transparent so that I wouldn't have to mimic the gradient at the top.

Is it possible to have different banners for different skins?  If so I could change the colors to match the non-Matrix skins.

I've been thinking of having something like that, I think it'd be possible if we set it to no image and put something in the top. I'm not fully sure though *Shrugs*

Heh, you used Gimp's supernova script, didn't you? :P The only bad thing about this new skin is that the sorta bronze colored headers don't match the rest of the skin as well, especially in the forum banner's gradient.

I still think a direct copy of MLN's theme would be possible. I'll make a prototype soon.

Yeah I did actually :P

Yeah, there's no yellow header, so I had to use the brown one >> Well, at least it looks like one of the golds in Bionicle :P

Color scheme...color scheme...

Would blue, white, and black go well together? So that it goes well with the forum banner.
Yea, I like that.
