This is Graphite Dist skin set that would be applied to GFXTrap.com Forum only.

One interesting thing about this skin is that the usual Navigation Bar is now set as "COLLAPSE MENU" and "EXPAND MENU." The default navigation bar menu will be shown to the left of the forum. It will have the basic jump links, unlike the main board's detailed dropdown menus.

Please comment on look and feel of this skin. Again, this will be applied only to Graphics sections.

Also PM or report any bugs.

Things to do:

• show Similar Topics and Latest Activity posts
• change logo
• work on shoutbox visibility

That's cool that you can have different skins for different sections. But i personally am not fond of dark layouts like these—they're too.. dark. The hosted member's user names in the shout box are hard on the eyes. Are we allowed to suggest skins? This skin does seem a bit fitting for a GFX forum, though.

The insignias stand out quite well in this skin.

Unless OpaQue sees that it's unnecessary, you may suggest skins that fits GFX section.

CrazyRob was developing some graphics skin themes. I installed this skin to show how each section can have different skins. This was available from v2.1.x but I was told to wait until the forum's next major upgrade.

As long as skin can be loaded fast I will take all suggestions. As you can see, even this Graphite loads slow compare to what the author claimed.

Since I'm not even sure if this skin would serve as the final skin for GFX section I will not modify it much further. Just wanted to give you an idea. But the dark background does suit better for graphics feeling and easy insignia identification.

You are working on the banner and stuff so it's okay but I personally didn't like this theme, I am for dark themes, but this one, for some weird reason, no. And this skin is WAY SLOW when it comes to loading on dial-up connections. And the text is white, and there is TOO much white upon this dark theme which for me makes it looks somewhat messy. The graphics stand out well but I think you should give a try to some more themes.

This one looks nice—good color scheme—and doesn't take long to load up on my side.

I like it too, and it takes lesser time to load than the current theme. Especially the color scheme, and I guess graphics and insignias will suit on that one too. But I have found this one thing that our signatures looks better with the old theme.

I love this theme, although, as has been addressed before, it does take some time to load initially.

Although I don't like the look of the theme that truefusion suggested as much, I prefer that one because it loads so much more quickly.

I also like this one but there is no demo link:

And the smilies look borked on this skin. They need to be clean up around the edges and borders made transparent, or something.

You might be able to have different smilies with different skins. If you can, then I've found two smiley sets designed for dark backgrounds.

Set 1: Link <-- Test

Set 2: Link <-- Test

Look any better?
