[RastaLulz]

I whipped up something real quick. I'm at work or I could had done better. What do you think?

Personally, I dislike it. It feels exactly like the default skin for xenForo.

Sorry for the delay in progress reports. I just graduated from University with a First class degree so I've been celebrating a bit! Will try to get back to work on this next week .

see this .... a very simple touch that I make for the forum I have ...

A bit late to the party here, but my preference is for image #3.

I prefer the distinct border between the dark header & the light main forum, with the tab being the only thing popping up into the dark. The skin that uses all dark for the BG (#2) makes the tab look like an odd appendage to me. The skin that extends the dark header further down (#1), over emphasizes the curve on the lower portion of the tab and the corresponding rounded corner of the forum bit. Additionally, there is a bit more space between the search box and the user controls on #3. The others feel scrunched up to me.

This one gets my vote.

Sounds good. I am returning home from London tomorrow and I'll try to get this skin released then. At the very least I'll put a public preview and you can all make comments before I release a final version .

That sounds wonderful.

Can't wait Graeme. I check everyday for it.

Hey Graeme,
is there a release date for this skin? I really like it.

 

[Graeme]

I'm hoping by the end of this week.

 

[nodle]

It's the end of the week now.

 

[Graeme]

It's the end of the week now.

Haha, sorry, I got caught up doing two custom skins. I'll get back to work now!

 

[Graeme]

Getting there. This is what the header is like now. The submenu is now in a dropdown (the arrows go white when you hover over the menu item). Also, you'll notice the little arrow on the right (placeholder) that allows you to minimize and maximize the sidebar.

We're getting there

 

[Vicros]

Yes we are..what a great skin this is.

 

[PoisonedPoetry]

Now we're cookin' with gas.

 

[Vicros]

Lol i thought it was fish grease but gas is fine too lol.

 

[CrazyProgrammer]

when is the expected release?

 

[RastaLulz]

Hopefully this gets finished soon - can't make the switch from vBulletin to XenForo without this skin.

Also, I think that the skin looked much better with a wrapper.

Graeme's currently moving to London, so he'll be mostly offline until he's settled in. I'm sure he's working on it as much as possible though.
