we need to have a few choices obviously, black white and some other color as the default because some people just dont like dark skins period… I dont mind it, i dont love it either, the problem is these skins are all crap IMO if i had the right time to tweak the css files for all the skins and the xml file then maybe they would be easier to read, but on alot of these skins its like the authors are idiots making the fonts colors that you cant even read… wtf ?? When we get 2 or 3 skins that everyone can agree on then I think we will be ok ---

The black isnt that bad. Was confusing at first, but once you move around alot… gets pretty easy. The onlything i like SMF better is the bottom of the page where it shows the last 5 or so newest posts. ---

I prefer better color differentiation between read/unread posts or topics under the main groups but that’s just me. The damn colored letter image doesn’t do justice. Black looks cool, but blows when your eyes need to adjust from a bright display such as solidworks back to a tabbed version of the black hole here It’ll get sorted out I know, I’ll just wait till that’s done. Sometimes plain old black or blue text on white is great. The old non VB color scheme was perfect IMO. ---

Well adam we gonna have white black and another skin to choose from, because I understand the black is hard to get used to after you been staring at the screen like solidworks for my case adobe programs… but like jeff said, it actually gets better the more you use it, the easier it is to get used to it. Dont forget you can change the skin to something like the default at the bottom of the forum easily, and anytime you want to. The latest post thing really needed to get sorted asap because i miss it too ---
