Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I never gave it any thought before, so I just used the default (spidweb_theme). Having been made aware of the option, I think I prefer the coffee theme better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I prefer to use a non-default skin on all forums that have the option (ubbthreads-dark in this case); mostly because it lets me easily see whether or not I'm logged in.

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Any skin but the default makes the logo at the top stick out horrendously. Therefore, I go with the default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Coffee and UBB Threads Dark are both hideous, so I stick with the default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I use the default skin on every forum I frequent, and never have to worry about checking if I'm logged in or not because I just never log out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I had no idea this existed. Looking at the alternatives, I wasn't missing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Lurking Eyebeast Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I prefer VBBÞreads-Dark, especially on the forum lists. I dunno, it just looks better. I would prefer it if the logo was transparent, but I rarely look at it. However, I am sometimes bothered by the avatars which are just something on a white background. I'm not going to name names. Not even if þuryliliþ and angered lizardman try to drag it out of me with wild horses. EDIT I just remembered that smilies donˇt show up on dark. I may consider going to coffee...

Originally Posted By: Terribly Ernest I use the default skin on every forum I frequent, and never have to worry about checking if I'm logged in or not because I just never log out. Pretty much all of this. Since the logo has a white and not transparent background, anything other than the default looks bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I like the lower contrast of coffee, the energy saving potential of dark, and the way the default blends with the logo. As such, I suppose I'll follow the crowd. Plus, as noted in another thread, it simplifies the forgery aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Mistb0rn Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Dark here. I just wish the smilies worked, but I suppose one can't have everything. Also, the "Avernum: Escape from the Pit" forum header is very funny-looking on non-white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It would be easy enough to switch to a logo with a transparent background: (Not perfect, but you get the idea. You'd need access to a high-res original to make it look better.) EDIT: Or just invert! EDIT: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your plan to turn us all into third person posting, pedestrian sniping, default using automatons will not succeed! -Actaeon, who did actually change back to coffee as an act of rebellion.

Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 In ubbthreads-dark, it cant differentiate global mods from us regular people. I feel happy now.

Not sure what you'd call the "default" skin to have unless you're racist, and I'm certainly not dark. Perhaps all the coffee I drank has seeped into my skin, though. In all seriousness, though, I just use the default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps all the coffee I drank has seeped into my skin, though. In all seriousness, though, I just use the default. Evolutionarily speaking, "default" skin color would be the skin color that our ancestors in East Africa had, so you've kind of repeated yourself there.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I just use the default (spidweb_theme) skin. The "coffee" one isn't exactly my style, and the "ubbthreads-dark" one hurts my eyes a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I vaguely remember taking a look at the skins. After that I don't think I bothered having anything other than the default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
