Cool Style Feedback Sought!

I am considering...only considering...changing the default style of this site. I designed the color scheme of the current style and would prefer to keep a blue theme for the default. Nonetheless, I am open to possibly changing the style with that criteria in mind. I found a couple on the Internet. There are several more if you search for "vBulletin styles". I would appreciate your input and if you find one you like to let me know and post a link. Thanks!

Candidate 1
Candidate 2

I don't like No. 1. No. 2 I like.

I prefer the one we're already using.

Re: Style Feedback Sought!

I would preffer the first one of the two, the second one is just nasty to look at.

Of the choices already availale i like the black and red one which is plasma i think (though i could be wrong) but i doubt that sort of thing would be too popular with most users tbh. I preffer the sharper/brighter colors.

Re: Style Feedback Sought!

Btw with the black and red one already available most of the grahpics don't show for me, it'll have the "x" mark for most images and even things like the arrow at the end of posts and threads on the forum main page, they don't show at all.

Re: Style Feedback Sought!

If I did change the default the current one would still be available for everyone.

Some of the other ones (e.g. Plasma) has not been updated in a while and thus may not be working perfectly. If people like those other styles (e.g. Trenz) then I can pay to have them updated for the current vBulletin version.

I kind of like the darker blue colors of the first one myself.

Thanks!

Re: Style Feedback Sought!

If you have to pay for any of these two new candidates, I'm fine with what is available already.

Re: Style Feedback Sought!

Yeah if you could update the Trenz/Plasma ones then i'll put that as a default. I have Liquid (grey) as mine right now.

I don't mind the blue stuff, its just the faster the colors make you go blind the more i seem to preffer the skin for some strange reason.

I like the darker colors one too.

Comes to a vote I'd vote for that one

Re: Style Feedback Sought!

I would encourage the more adventurous out there to go out and find other styles they think would be good for this site. Again, I would prefer a blue theme, clean, professional, not corny, etc.

Thanks!

Re: Style Feedback Sought!

I must admit that I prefer the current one also, but that could just be because I'm used to it. Of the two new options, I prefer #2.
