Jacob Foster11 said:We could just add a menu with about 10 different skins (including this one as the default), and everyone can pick what they actually like. Save the preference in a cookie and call it a day in the USA.

So, why hasn't this been implemented yet? 😁

I have no idea... What about fixing the text color menu in the editor? 🀷

BTW, adding a skin selector like that is a trivial task. The real issue is designing new skins. I have absolutely zero talent for that. 😁

BTW, adding a dropdown menu for selecting skins is actually a trivial task. The real headache is designing the actual skins from scratch. I have zero talent for that kind of thing. 😁

I think I actually used to have some little program for designing skinsβ€”you know, specifically for Windows, not just forums 😁
And a quick tutorial for it too, but honestly, I have no clue where it went anymore. ^^

tossing in some skins takes like 10 mins max

The thing is, they aren't looking for just any random free stuff since this site is one of the top forums in the country. They want original, custom skins that actually need to be designed from scratch. πŸ™‚

I’m really digging this setup (honestly, I usually vote just like John Smith) image

I’ve always been a huge fan of dark mode skins. They just look better. πŸ‘

This white one here is way too brightβ€”it actually hurts my eyes a bit. πŸ‘Ž
But honestly, you can pretty much fix that issue if you use a Firefox addon to apply those skins across all your web apps and sites at once. πŸ˜‰

That wasn't actually my own skin; I was just using it as an example of what a dark theme looks like. Besides, it’s just a direct link to the image anyway.
Honestly, if you guys want to go ahead and delete this one along with my previous post, I really don't mind.

not really the vibe for dark themes here
could use some more pop with the colors though

Honestly, leave the colors alone... these are easy on the eyes just the way they areβ€”no need to mess with perfection.

I mean, sure, change is fine sometimes, but this? This feels totally unnecessary.
Period. β˜•

You really won't know what it's like until you give it a shot, though I suppose if you end up hating it, you can always just switch back to the original skin.

I’ve messed around with a few different skins, but honestly, none of them really click for me. Part of it is just pure muscle memoryβ€”I spend more time on this site than almost anyone else, so I’ve basically become hardwired to this specific layout.
As far as those vBulletin themes go, there's a massive visual jump between version 3.8 and vB 4; they look nothing alike.

Honestly, this layout is miles ahead of anything else I’ve come across. Most other forums I stumble upon feel clunky or just plain off, though I guess those using the exact same 😁 template are doing alright. Most others are just an absolute eyesore.

And don't even get me started on dark mode. It’s a total disaster. I have no idea what people are thinking when they design these things; it’s like they want to punish your vision. Personally, my eyes start feeling strained after maybe ten minutes of looking at them.🀷
