Patch may not want me to say this, but he's been trying to develop a second forum skin (:huh) that has a lighter background. Apparently someone around here has been whining about the default skin being too dark. :wxwax
It's nowhere near finished, but check it out anyway. Just scroll down to the bottom of your screen, to a drop-down box labeled "Quick Style Chooser." Select "Test Style." See what you think.
You can immediately change back by going to the same menu and selecting "Default Style."

layout would be better than something so fancy. In the end, nice as it
is, it takes away from the subject matter.
In many ways, that smugmug is not too fancy is a good thing. Just MHO.

I've been messing around with a white style for people who like it lame, uh, I mean light. Lots of broken things right now with it but you get the idea. Let me know what you think.
The white is good, now that it's been toned down. Not as sophisticated as the default, but practical.
The grey has the same issue - not as sophisticated.
The sample you posted in the link, Baldy, is beyond garish and overwhelms the content. The skin should complement the content, not be a distraction.
JMHO, of course. The HO of a man with two bad monitors.

Default Lookin' Good = 1
Default Lookin' Bad = 3
The only one that made it look good is the 15" plasma that's less than a year old. I can't help but think that there are many others with less then optimal monitors.
The expensive good news is that my four year old Micron-badged Trinitron now has tearing along the top of the screen... time to upgrade. I'm thinking about a terribly expensive 19" plasma. Good idea?

vBulletin just came out with a new "pro" style that's silver. Looks nice! Not as stark as the white, not as dark as default.
I just saw dgrin on an Apple Theater display... looks very elegant. So the score is now:
Lookin' Good = 2
Lookin' Dark = 3
