Skins

[mx]

Which skins do you guys use? These are going to get an overhaul, and I'm thinking of reducing things to a dark and a light skin. I don't want to axe something enormously popular however.

[Already_Taken]

wow this topic's never been done before :rolleyes:

i use light, but i voted orange cause that's what it said in my chooser at the bottom, but i definitely use light

[gaslightanthem]

I only use the dark skin because I find the others unsightly.

[Huxton]

orange is just offensive please kill it no matter how many people use it

[JohnXDoe]

i use dark or orange. although i really don't favor the orange, its just my default somehow

i never use blue. i would say that can go

i like dark and am using it now

a light / dark scheme would be fine. like the reviews site, kinda. maybe you can create one that is "reviews site centric?"

i dunno

[Dave de Sylvia]

I will more or less die if the orange skin is ever removed.

[mx]

Yeah, light is going to be the default, and will be integrated into the review site. The other skin will be based on popular opinion.

[Chaindrive]

Not that my opinion matters, but orange for me.

[rasputin]

Light is pretty much the only good one.

[Huxton]

can we also ban the people who vote orange

[Gnarmageddon]

Dark skin. Easy on the eyes.

e: Yay, blue is gone.

[808]

Dark is the best. The other skins hurt my eyes.

[gaslightanthem]

dark is best for sure

[FattyKnee]

dark for sure. it looks so much cooler

[Meatplow]

light

[FattyKnee]

i don't like how i need to change it every time i log in though. oh well, i'll get over it

[Pariah]

I liked blue.

[adb]

[bradc1988]

Poll is skewed.

i don't like how i need to change it every time i log in though. oh well, i'll get over it

If only there was an option in your UserCP (in the Edit Options page) that could change your default skin.

[Skyler]

orange and blue are pretty much worthless

[FattyKnee]

Poll is skewed.

damn i feel stupid :( i'm kinda new but still...

gah

[honourosis]

light

[imperialblackness]

I use dark. I think the orange is really ugly

[FattyKnee]

everything other than dark is too harsh on the eyes

[Jawaharal]

light is the best. easier to read ****

[Chaindrive]

Orange is cheery. :D

I <3 orange.

[g°®†]

as a professional graphic designer and web designer, I have to say that the Orange skin is the most aesthetically pleasing as well easiest to navigate with.

[Moseph]

I use orange. I think it's the easiest to read because it's relatively high contrast without causing strain.

Blue doesn't have enough contrast for me. My eyes get tired looking at something so monotone.

Dark has sort of the opposite effect. Most of it has too little contrast: text/background are relatively dark. However, all the functional fields in the "default" colors are "Windows Gray" for me, and when I try the dark settings they have huge contrast for me. It strains my eyes very quickly using Dark.

Light is okay, but I don't like the color scheme quite as much, and there isn't as strong a contrast between the text fields and the framing/functional fields.

you dont even have a degree how professional are you

[808]

Orange is the most nauseating skin.

[g°®†]

you dont even have a degree how professional are you



Well, I make more money than the other graphic designer at my company who has a 4 year degree and has been with this company a year longer than I have.


How's that for starters?

[TimJim]

orange plz

[horseypie]

that doesnt make you more professional though

[g°®†]

yah it does. It totally does!

[Reaganista]

im only using dark until they come up with something darker

[adb]

I think everyone who uses orange already voted

axe it

[TimJim]

hush you

[malaise]

Dark skin is where it's at.

Orange skin is for peasants.

[Murdererer]

orange is the best

dark skin is for negros

[808]

Please ban Murdererer.

[Already_Taken]

orange skin reminds me of the bumper car ride at the fiar i dunno why tho

[Anglachel]

orange attracts the gays

[Reaganista]

**** you

[Tillius]

Orange. Dark on occasion.

[Angmar]

dark, what is the point in getting rid of a skin anyway?

[mx]

For closer integration with the review site, having a ton of skins creates maintenance problems.

[Angmar]

ahh ok, makes sense

[CatfishJew]

aesthetically orange is the most pleasing to me. the banner looks best in orange skin. i would use dark if dark looks like orange except the orange parts are the dark green/blue color. you guys get what i mean.

[Reaganista]

anything brighter than dark hurts my eyes
dark is almost too bright

[Pop music sucks]

Dark is the way to go. It's almost as old school as tan.

[hismajestythepope]

orange is just offensive please kill it no matter how many people use it

this

i was pissed when they got rid of slate tbh

[Against Miik!]

Light is my default for some reason so I use that a lot but I like dark too.

[Reaganista]

get rid of something other than dark because the ppl voting for light and orange have rly flimsy reasons like 'Light is my default for some reason' 'aesthetically orange is the most pleasing to me' 'Orange is cheery' 'Orange skin is the most aesthetically pleasing'

ppl who use dark need it because the others are all completely blindingly bright

ps also make dark even darker

[Crapdragoon]

wtf mx dont get rid of blue ive used that ever since i started, im nothing without it!!!

[Against Miik!]

We need to keep dark so we can be politically correct obviously

[Pariah]

The darker colors are easier on the eyes.

[Tillius]

I actually haven't used dark in a long time but I just switched over and really like it.

[Alf™]

Blue and light can go.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

you know a skin is awful when gort likes it

[Already_Taken]

get rid of something other than dark because the ppl voting for light and orange have rly flimsy reasons like 'Light is my default for some reason' 'aesthetically orange is the most pleasing to me' 'Orange is cheery' 'Orange skin is the most aesthetically pleasing'

ps also make dark even darker

lower the brightness on your monitor retard

[semi]

and I'm thinking of reducing things to a dark and a light skin. I think this is the best idea really but i only use dark personally. They are very similar apart from the colours and orange sometimes does different things and it gets confusing for everyone. Only keeping two also seems like a good idea to me.
ps also make dark even darkerthis if possible really.
more towards monochrome and shades of grey like light has but darker shades instead of shades of green. Should just be light and its inverse.

but yeah just keep dark and light because orange is always slightly different

[Alf™]

tell us what you really think moderator semi

don't hold back

[pixiesfanyo]

please bring back the aqua marine one.

[semi]

hi there user alfy how are you i missed you

[Alf™]

i am well, moderator semi ty for asking

how are you? i hope the last few drama weeks of sputniks haven't taken there toll on you!

[semi]

their* and no i am very well thanks for asking
though the redecoration efforts have been tough i feel it was all worth it just to see you happy
but let us use the community thread for such discussions user alfyy this is for discussing which skin colour we should paint the walls

[sweboy]

What the hell is wrong with you people, blue is the one and only true MX skin, everything else is blasphemy. OH GOD MY EYES!!!!

[<3<3<3]

I usually use orange or light. Mostly orange.

But I actually really miss the old school black/gray before it was "dark".

[Huxton]

as a professional graphic designer and web designer, I have to say that the Orange skin is the most aesthetically pleasing as well easiest to navigate with.you're terrible though so no

[Huxton]

i think everyone who cant take light only browses http://vampirefreaks.com/

[<3<3<3]

and the orange matches my fox.

[Huxton]

your fox is washed-out brown

[sweboy]

Time has taken its toll on your once youthful fox.

[Tripp_chaos]

Dark because light/blue is all you can find on other forums and I don't mind orange it just burns my retinas to ****...

[overturned]

default

[jaklyons]

Dark skin owns your soul.

[Klown]

dark skin best skin~

[Iskandar]

I have always used the blue. I had no idea so many people liked orange. I don't see its appeal because it's really ugly.

[808]

Blue isn't much better, IMO.

[Iskandar]

Blue is the best looking skin to me. Wasn't it the default at one point?

[niobium]

i use dark because its easiest on the eyes
please do not get rid of blue, ever
i have no attachment to light or orange

[niobium]

i see blue is already gone
why is orange so cool?

[CatfishJew]

i see blue is already gone
why is orange so cool?

i think it's because back in the repping days, you can see how much red or green bars you have. reminds people of a better time, pre-recession.

[niobium]

i guess there's always that even if we don't have good new people join

[Reaganista]

my monitor is on the lowest possible brightness at all times

[CatfishJew]

so it's black?

[Ceminon]

I always use the light skin. I've had the dark one for a week or two, but I found it somewhat annoying.

[808]

Why does Orange have so many votes? It's terrible!

[FattyKnee]

maybe b/c people like it
idk though....

[FattyKnee]

food for thought

[sweboy]

personally i think it's a conspiracy against devious g's

[christsimpson]

I don't care as long as you gimme contrasts. black on white/white on black is obviously the easiest and best.

[niobium]

i need forum personality with the site itself
orange is fine but its a whiny hue

[808]

We need a purple skin to match my desktop background.

[mx]

I'm surprised orange is winning

[808]

It's probably people voting with alternate accounts.

[FattyKnee]

you bitter?

[Dave de Sylvia]

It's probably people voting with alternate accounts.
It's probably people voting with the correct answer.

[808]

Say that to my face.

[<3<3<3]

We need a purple skin to match my desktop background.

I'm down with this.

[Anglachel]

It's probably people voting with alternate accounts.
either this or a portion of mx doesnt know this thread exists

hopefully anyways

[sweboy]

If we loose the blue skin, I'm going to have to completely change the way I browse mx: I'm going to have to print-screen the page I want the view, paste it into Paint and color everything so that it looks like the blue skin - I then open the image with my web browser and can proceed to read the page. This is gonna be a bitch.

[Chaindrive]

I'm surprised orange is winning

:mad:

It's a good skin.

[<3<3<3]

I'm make you some blue lensed glasses. okay okay okay?

[jaklyons]

Me too, the orange skin is lame.

[niobium]

my avatar fits in well with the blue background along with the majority of the educated here

[malaise]

It's probably people voting with the correct answer.

How can that be right if the correct answer is dark?

[hismajestythepope]

:mad:

It's a good skin.

False.

[sweboy]

Even Jeremy thinks it sucks, then you know it's bad LOL!

[808]

If you think it's so bad, Jeremy, just take it out. Who cares what these people think!

[malaise]

do it jeremy...

[Already_Taken]

i voted orange because that's what the bar said, even though i actually use light. the ballot was confusing recount

p.s. orange is hideous

[FattyKnee]

wtf

[Justin]

The blue skin is gone, dammit :(

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

dark is the coolest for the cool kids


but i dont want blue to leave

[Tripp_chaos]

This thread is totally de ja vu from the last time they did the reformation... I see a pattern
1: someone gets perma-banned
2: site gets hacked
3: site goes down
4: site comes back
5: almost everyone bitches that everythings changed and things are missing
6: we all get used to it
Did I miss a step?

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

this is actually the biggest change in years

[adb]

(*The Noonward Race*) losing his edge

is the biggest change in years

[Tripp_chaos]

the original 50 cent pieces those were the biggest change in years...

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

(*The Noonward Race*) losing his edge

is the biggest change in years
oh i had an edge? thank you

[Wish]

Blue is the the skin I use at home, but it's Dark at work. If Blue had all the same options as the Dark skin I'd use it all the time.

[adb]

oh i had an edge? thank you

yeah but it seems merely dust and echoes atm

when GD died as you did your soul, admit it

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

yeah but it seems merely dust and echoes atm

when GD died as you did your soul, admit it
I agree it did, I am dust and echoes. I remember.

[dankhead]

of course blue loses in the poll and thats the only one i choose to use, i might just stop posting here if it doesnt come back.

[FingersOfStone]

if killing the blue skin gets rid of nbf then it is a worthy sacrifice

[dankhead]

because my posts really affect this forum so horribly

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

dont take it so personally bro

[dankhead]

oh itake it personally when my favorite skin is destroyed in an attempt to do my epersona in, why, if every girl on earth had skin the same color as the forum they might be worth pursuing in

[Iskandar]

oh itake it personally when my favorite skin is destroyed in an attempt to do my epersona in, why, if every girl on earth had skin the same color as the forum they might be worth pursuing inDidn't I just ban you?

[dankhead]

for what this time?

[Iskandar]

I don't remember but I think I did or some other account with a similar name which may or may not have been yours. What's your main?

[DBoons Ghost]

I use light at work so people think it's an application of some sort.

At home it's blue, but I rarely browse from home anymore.

Blue reminds me of the olden days.

[dankhead]

I don't remember but I think I did or some other account with a similar name which may or may not have been yours. What's your main?

was nbf, now i use either this or fatkidzonmopedz seeing as nbf is gone forever

[Iskandar]

was nbf, now i use either this or fatkidzonmopedz seeing as nbf is gone foreverYeah you see you keep posting badly and spamming so we keep banning you.

[Huxton]

Iskandar you have a lot to learn as a mod you should stop being a dick to people just because you can ban them

thats so 2003

[Iskandar]

Huxton you have a lot to learn as a user you should stop trolling people just because you can that was so 2008.

[Huxton]

but it works too well i cant

[sweboy]

the flava of 2009 is: *~love~*

[dankhead]

Yeah you see you keep posting badly and spamming so we keep banning you.

im so sorry that i dont capitalize my damn posts or use frequent punctuation marks but i think just the fact that i have a small avatar my usernames arent creative like you guys and i have low post count and late join date just annoys you guys and you cant stand to glance at it so you just ban me thinking im a tronn based user.

[Huxton]

hey whats wrong with not using capital letters

[Iskandar]

im so sorry that i dont capitalize my damn posts or use frequent punctuation marks but i think just the fact that i have a small avatar my usernames arent creative like you guys and i have low post count and late join date just annoys you guys and you cant stand to glance at it so you just ban me thinking im a tronn based user.

If you didn't get banned so much you could be a productive member of this online community!

[sweboy]

while some superficial similarities can be detected, i don't think any knowledgable user would say that you are based on the tronn architecture

[Huxton]

im glad you edited iskandar that was too friendly of you

[kitsch]

while some superficial similarities can be detected, i don't think any knowledgable user would say that you are based on the tronn architecture

lolollo

[Mister_Che]

I use Orange, but if it were axed, I could easily switch to light. Only reason I use it is because the background I set in CAD is black so the lightness alleviates my eyes.

[Black Ink]

Dark because it's closest to the old grey.

[Interstate]

I want the blue skin back!

[hXcPLISIT]

light is the best.

i tried to use dark but i ended up switching back in less than an hour

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

thats racist sir read the rules

[Crapdragoon]

i like this blueness to it now =D

[Nadinus]

I only use orange because it has multi-quote. I only just tolerate it.

[Chaindrive]

It's cheery.

I <3 orange.

:)
