It's live, you can choose it from the style chooser (look down near the bottom of your screen) :thumb

Do you like it? If you do, is there anything you think needs adjusting?

    I like it.

    For some reason the default font size is at #3 verdana in the reply box. headscratch.gif

    The links to navigate the site at the top in the folder heirarchy might be better in white as to highlight them. ne_nau.gif

    In the user info box to the left of a post my location is showing up as 300 f/2.8.

    Well, now, that's my favorite yet!

    Great job, Andy. Thanks for doing all this! It's nice to be able to customize the site to my own tastes (and not be forced to live with Waxy's choices! :D)

    Oooh - stickies are black, regular posts are gray... so they actually stand out a little bit more! clap.gif

    but what's up with the little ipods?

    Reading is hard, Truth already reported that.
    And, it's probably due to the same stupid reason that if you look on this page, the location doesn't show:

    Vbulletin sw is a pita to work with, I should be able to fix it but I'm not sure how many espressos it will take.

    Midnight is interesting.

    Andy, I see you like styles that are easy on the eyes.

    So this probably appeals to you.

    I didn't make midnight, it comes from a company called xtreme pixels. We hope to have many styles, all varying. I'd bought the skin a while ago, just glad to have it out there in case some folks want to use it. Choice is nice, isn't it :D

    This one is great for putting Dgrin in a smaller window, as the fonts are more compact.

    The ipods icon thing is odd, i prefer the 'Black' theme's buttons to the ipods.

    Also, the editor for replying looks really odd, well the buttons for editting do anyway...a and the default font in the editor is HUGE, but it appears this is just when editting, it does not post that way.

    Oh one other thing: the hotlink toolbar (You, FAQ, Shooters, etc) is above the breadcrumb, unlike the other themes, where it is below.

    Thanks - I think we'll leave it grey w/ white on-hover for now.

    In the user info box to the left of a post my location is showing up as 300 f/2.8.

    Workin on it, could be a long time.

    New one Andy...the "Location" under the Avatar seems to be pulling from the "dream goodies" in our profile, rather than location. Kinda funny for some, puzzling for others eek7.gif

    I like the 'user is online' that is nice...

    Very nice!!! I like it, especially after boosting the contrast on my work monitor. I'll probably go blind after I switch back to my other programs. :oogle It did say that I was "invisible" which was not cool, so I had to change my settings!

    Al, shift-refresh, The logo's fine in FF.
