I caught an earlier reference to my name causing weird behavior but now it makes sense. I agree that the gray highlight sections in "Black and Blue" are kinda funky, but mostly because they make the blue text harder to read. I don't have a problem with the gray other than that. Maybe make the gray darker or the font color something that contrasts better?

Okay, here's a shot at some adjustments. See how this looks.
(This is for 'mudder') A bit of life, with green links:
Link Color: #C2D02F Active Link Color: #46C83B Visited Link Color:#C2D02F
And now two-toned background: Window Background 1: #FFF5D7 Window Background 2: #F4EDD2
I'm kind of wondering how it would look with the original highlight color, since I don't quite get what parts correspond to which. For now, just use the opposites:
Board Highlight Color: #FFF5D7 Thread Highlight Color: #F4EDD2

Board Highlight Color is the gray that Roosh and Cookies are talking about when one is using Black and Blue. Or, in other words.....when you're on the main index of forums and you move your mousey over the parts, you notice how the color changes? It changes from one color to another (unless the skin has both the colors as the same).
In the Black and Blue skin case, it changes from black to gray. This also happens with the THREADS when you move your mouse over them. It changes it from black to gray. This is called the Thread Highlight Color.

I've changed the Mudder skin to your new ones and for the Black and Blue skin, I've made the Board and Thread Highlight Colors a darkish purple. How's that? Be honest because I have no life so I don't mind making more changes if you don't like it. I don't have anything else better to do other than play the game. But any other changes and stuff will have to wait until later on in the evening. Time to catch up in the game now.

panama and Idle: thanks! I love the mudder skin... much more themey than the sterile blue and white.

I like the Mudder skin mostly, but the greenish background color gives me a little twinge of a headache when I'm at the top or bottom of a page, where more of it shows.
I have fallen in love with Space Anime, though.

I very much like the changes to "Black and Blue". But...
Now I realize that I can't really distinguish between bold and unbolded text. Can you make the bold text something like California Poppy Orange? That would definitely pop I think, though maybe too much.

Here's some changes to 'Mudder'. I wasn't too fond of the background color. I liked my old highlight color, so I'm switching to it for the background. It makes things more red-brown.
(One thing I do like about the Mudder theme is that blue (votes) stick out well.)
Also, the links are changed again. Sorry, that yellow-green was terrible. (Curiously, I stole this color partly from the Google ads - is that their normal color or do they derive from the link color?)
Idle, just wondering, is there a color for 'link hover'?
Also, I just saw "this is the online text" next to someone's name. Another hack?
Changes to 'mudder' theme:
Background Color: #EFE1C4
Link Color: #829430 Active Link Color: #46C83B Visited Link Color:#B0B46E
Title Background Color: #E9C390

Can you make the bold text something like California Poppy Orange? That would definitely pop I think, though maybe too much. There isn't a way to change the color of bolded font alone. Not unless someone manually makes it a different color. : / panama, yeah that was another one, but one I didn't know how to work, actually. It was one that was supposed to let you type a message where it says "blah is online" like "blah is reading a book" or something, but it didn't put anything in the profile to change it. Seems I'd have to change it myself for everyone whenever they wanted a new one...something even I wasn't willing to do. And no color for link hover, I don't THINK. Although it may be whatever the text color is. The other changes were just made to Mudder, though. And yes, Kat, I passed. Time to look over more hacks I will possibly install. Feel free to give your feedback and opinions over in that topic too. Oh, and I better catch up on the game again...although I've noticed it's been slow these days.

New Halloween skin is the default until Halloween is over. However if you like the old default skin and would like to use it, just use your profile edit to set it to the one named "default" again. However, anyone who does this is a commie and against the spirit of Halloween. I kid, I kid. ;D

Oh, and obviously if you're using another skin other than the default, you won't notice...but for kicks (and also, like I say above, if you want to get into the spirit of Halloween) you could change it to the Halloween skin if you want.

Idle Thoughts - for the Halloween skin, can you change the general font colour to Yellow, as the dark grey is not that readable.

Definitely a better colour than the dark grey. Would have preferred yellow, but the blue is a good choice.

That was nice. I really liked the Halloween theme. But it's kinda nice to come back to default. Like coming back home after a vacation....
I think i just like the Black background w/ light (blues and greens) font look. It's a trend that should continue onwards.

Is there anyway to fix the daylight savings on these boards? In your profile there is a box to check if you are currently observing daylight savings time. Uncheck said box.
