New Skin

[GrandOldTeam]

First impressions?

The idea was to speed things up a bit, make the forums a bit fresher and easier on the eye and make better use of the homepage.

I know the header isn't the best, i'll improve that though.

Thanks to the lads who helped test it.

Cheers, I think the new one will look good once they're playing in it. I wasn't too keen on last seasons but it grew on me by September.

Just spotted a piece of the original background in between Cahill's left arm in the header.

letting you know just in case you didn't realise it was there.

Ah good man Zero. It has to be white on the right hand side though so will opt for the second one.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

hey wheres the yellow and white option ?
what about an everton mint on the left where you have the laurels ? wrapped and unwrapped.

sorry cant find an uwrapped one, you'll have to buy some and take a pic maybe a wrapped and a sucked down to a pip size one.

I don't like the way its not fixed width, it messes up when you make a window bigger. You must have it at a specific window size for it to work. The old one was better IMO.

I like the width but abit to much going on for my liking, prefer the old one.

close the vote danny before they catch-up, this isnt some kind of democracy here.

Cheers Dom, but when I copy and paste them on PSP they are on a black background so i would have to cut them out anyway

How about using a decent paint program!

The snow will be back with a flick of a switch when its 1st December

Whoop! Can't wait... only 5 months and 5 days to go!

Imo this is the best version of the new skin. Still prefer the old one. Then again i preferred the skin before that, but kinda forgot about it after a while.

Couple of notes: Can you stop avatars breaking the height of the name banner? Think that would help make it look neater/less roomy.
Can you make the Grand Old Team logo/text bigger?
I think yellow would probably be best used sparingly - trim and highlights etc, not big splashes off it everywhere.

Will see what I can do Phil.

Is it just me or is the new username colour swish bit make the usernames a bit difficult to read? - the Coventry colour might have to come back!

 

[Dylan]

What happened to the width?? It's gone all narrow again!

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Any chance of a screenshot? Set a fixed width to see how it would be.

It was 90% of the browser, which means it can go a bit pear shaped for some so set it as 900 width, so set.

If its bad though can easily change back/
