    GateWorld 2.0 Forum Skin

    Hi all,

    The GateWorld 2.0 forum reskin is now available in beta mode! For those of you who want to switch now and offer some feedback, you can change your forum skin on the Options page:

    http://forum.gateworld.net/profile.php?do=editoptions

    Scroll to the bottom and look for the "Forum Skin" option.

    Please post comments here, and let us know if you see anything that needs repairing. Note that what we're looking for is notes specific to the reskin templates, NOT the forum in general.

    Once we're sure we have any bugs worked out and everything looks like it's supposed to, the GateWorld 2.0 skin will become the forum default. (We may leave the old "GateWorld Classic" skin available as an option as well.)

    Thanks!

    Are the columns in the 2.0 skin narrower than the old one or is it a trick of perspective?

    Will new banners be added once you work all the bugs out?

    Seems slick so far. Will keep you posted.

      I'd love to do a bunch of new headers, but of course that will rely almost entirely on our skilled designer's free time.

      The main body is 8 pixels narrower. Good eye!

        i'm in love having the main body smaller is nice. i'm fine with the header as it is.

        if i had one problem the section that says Mark Forums Read View Forum Leaders

        should be as dark as the whats going on section. the light blue makes the words hard to read.

          I'm really liking it. It's really slick and pretty. What I really like about it is that it keeps the best parts of the old forum style. It still looks exactly like GW, it just does in a much better manner.

          I gotta agree with Pharaoh Atem though, and say that there is a couple of text colouring issues. But that is nothing for me, as I never use those links. I didn't even knew they existed until Mal pointed them out.

          So yeah, looks great!

              The little text coloring issues are part of what I'm wanting to fix now, so please post away!

              The home page's "Mark Forums Read" and "View Forum Leaders" links have been fixed.

                    The "Mark forums read" and "view forum moderators" links are darker, yes but I think the background needs to be tinted a little darker, too, in order to distinguish it from the vertical columns.

                    Maybe give the same treatment (darkening) to the links/background for the items Adria mentioned, too.

                    EDIT: Or at least the backgrounds, since the links on the Classic skin are also white.

                        Personally, I like the 'Classic'. Please, please leave it as an option.

                            Is there any way to get the ad to go above the TV Schedule/FAQ/Blogs/etc stuff? It makes it look a little weird, otherwise; like the ad is embedded in the forum table itself rather than as a separate entity.
