New "Skins" Available

[Okiewan]

Want to help test some new "skins" ?
While these are not 100% complete, they are available...

Take a look at "ekko" and "ekko light" and let me know what you think.
Go to your cp, then options, bottom of the screen you'll see the drop-down list of skins.

These are only available to Subscribers and STM's.

Enjoy.

The "ekko" skin is awesome. :yeehaw:

 

[Hondaxrguy]

A nice "high tech" look to them. I didn't like the fact that the page was actually quite a bit narrower than the bright skin I'm using now.

Thanks TT.... :thumb:

There will be another version of the same skin that will expand to browser width, will be few days though.

I use easy eyes and the ekko is easier on the eyes than ekko lite.

If you are taking requests for Xmas :)  I always thought a forum jump option at the bottom of pages would be a great addition. :thumb:

 

 

[Okiewan]

like that?

And it's Netscrape compatible. :moon:

 

[KWJams]

Whoaz!   Uzza fast Okiewan  (in Jar-Jar speaks) :yeehaw:

That makes it a lot quicker to surf around not having to crawl up to the top of the page all the time. :)

 

[Okiewan]

Did you notice the "top" link at the bottom of the page? :cool:

 

[KWJams]

you mentioned it.

The font color doesn't stand out very bold.

Same with the Home & Forums at the top

Everything else seems pretty easy to read with the exception of Forum Rules black against gray.

edit- still have that Post Subject bug

 

 

[Okiewan]

Test Subject

?
There is no optional post subject in this skin.
Not sure I know what you mean. :think:

How 'bout something in a Lager. :yeehaw:

I like them alot. I especially like the fade effect on the background. Only one thing though in my humble opinion... The "DRN" logo in the upper left corner looks a little too plain. It definately doesn't do this place justice considering the rest of the graphics here are top notch. :)

 

[Okiewan]

Try "ekko expanded"

 

[biglou]

I like it.  Where will the sponsors go in the expanded version?

 

PS-The comic font didn't work in the original post here.  Had to edit it, then it started working.

I didn't see the difference. It looks just like the full calorie ekko. :) Maybe it's just me though. I like the (on.gif)'s on the main forums page. :thumb:

lol...
ekko does not stretch/contract to fit the browser window, expanded does.

Well of course I noticed THAT! I just didn't mention that because it was so obvious to me. :confused: :rolleyes: (what ever happen to <-- that .gif anyways.) :)

Still waitin' on the Lager...

When I reply to a message the Post subject right now has--

Re: Test Subject.

It will&nbsp; not appear with my posted comments.

 

[slo' mo]

I like the ekko expanded.&nbsp; Doesn't seem to have all the links like "updated threads in last 24hrs" though.&nbsp; Will we get the use of those links back?

 

[Okiewan]

These are not complete ... more will be added.

How the sponsors will be worked in is top secret!!

Whew, I thought I was the only one getting my joke. :)

Okie, is it me or is the homepage MIA. All I see is a blank page. Are you working on that too?

 

[Okiewan]

Ugg...

Yes, it's being updated to work with "expanded" as it works with ekko and ekko light.

Again...
Please just let me know if what IS here works. :thumb:

 

[Green Horn]

Oops, sorry to point that out. :eek: Shutting up now!

PS The IS here is all good. Nice work once again.
