Default Skin reveiw

So I took this skin I found and I just started tweaking the hell out of it colors, icons, fonts, banner everything is pretty much tweaked. I am a fan of black so in my opinion this is turning out very nice. I still have a lot of tweaking to do to it but yeah any suggestions would be great. And yes that is my Tankadin sitting in the middle of that pile of bodies in rfk in that image.

Overall your skin is pretty good! You did a great job here!

However, I've got some suggestions to help you improve it a bit more:

1. Why did you choose those bright clash colors for the buttons on the header? ("Codes", "Arcade", etc.) They don't match with your theme. You should change their colors to match your forum's.


2. You need some vertical padding here (see the red areas):

Ikki that is not my skin.. that was a example link of the skin I downloaded. 3xGuilds - Free Webhosting for Guilds/Clans with cPanel + Fantastico! is the skin I was talking about it used to look like the one I downloaded.

Oh, sorry! My mistake! :omfg:

I just checked it and it looks great! The only thing I would improve is the header area.

Overall is a very good skin!

Whats up with the header area? I need to size the banner down this I know some people see it as sticking out of the skin a tad.. One of my friends said if I finished it I he would purchase it. But It would take me a week to code it as my own skin.

How does that work exactly though? Would I need to take a stock vbulletin skin and code it before I could release it? I designed it as a image free skin just css based for fast load time.

Thanks, I am going to recode it this week from scratch and make new post icons, Then I might release it for download.
