Forum Skins

Gday All

The sense I got from what I read and the underlying theme is like a Indiana Jones/TombRaider feel from the old earth days. Temple stonework with symbols with metallic inserts and technology sunk into these surfaces to blend the two materials... ancient vs futuristic

So colours might be earthy with a mix of technology thrown in.

Browns, Dusty Yellows, Soft Clay Reds with Steel, Grey and Graphite and even a hint of green (vegetation). Maybe some banding of gold, emerald or ruby to hint at treasure? I guess it depends on the amount of customisation these forum models allow.

Just watch stark contrasts as reading through heaps of posts per page will eventually burn out your retinas.

Makers of a planet requiring shitloads of artistic effort ascing for a color cheme of a forum? Should I be worried!?

j/k

I'd say skin is pretty much okay how as it is. Eventually your planet will do the talking.

However the type police in me yells "never use typeface used in logo in anything else!", meaning the word "forum" under logo should use any other typeface. Also the logo in the header picture kinda has to be scaled down to around 70% of the current; so called protected areas around brand related graphics like logos and trademarks are protected for a reason. Substance is built of air around, as you've prolly heard the saying.

Enough rambling but hey, you asked!

Your planet concept is really interesting and its most definately in top 2 of what I'm most looking forward to.

Cheers!

 

i agree with what most are saying the current colors are perfect i'd just maybe change the top image to something a little less depressing then gun turrets

 

Before someone suggests generic space theme I'm going to beat them to it and add a twist

A low orbit shot showing the wrecked ships of the natives and whatever the "other" side was would be pretty cool.

Personally I always find it interesting to see depitctions of scenes like this. I like to see if the image I had in my head is the same as what the design team/artists had in theirs. You know what they say, great minds think alike.

love this skin very easy on the eyes, but as others said options are nice

but keep this as default please

 

I'm using the default Arkadian Skies and..
- the "Welcome" on top, left of the username is almost impossible to see/blends in with the background
- links cant be discerned from normal text. maybe underline them?

that's all the negative things I could find

 

I really like the debris one.
