The T Bar finally has the new skins! Woohoo!!!

Sorry to hear that guys... perhaps there can be a compromise whereby we can do another skin that uses an image that is either less intricate, uses less colours or only appears at the top or bottom of the page only?

In the mean time I've changed the colours of the forum statistics on all skins so they should be more readable and I've also added Psymon's fab statusicons to the homepage so no more silly green speech bubbles... just press CTRL + F5 to view changes. :thumbsup:

I like mine :yesnod:

The only readability issue, I think, is with the green background. I think it's more to do with the actual picture than anything else. The speed-blur type photos are great but not necessarily good as a background.

Could you try the yellow theme. Is that generally better for reading?.

Perhaps we could some sort of competiton , Best shot of your car gets to be the default background, Something along those line's anyway

As I say, all the other backgrounds are fine. It's the speed blur effect that's causing the issue on green.

Nice work Kara, looking fantastic

Great work by you two... looks fantastic, but I'm sfraid I agree with the readability issue...

I have gone back to the silver/Green skin to save my aging eyes!

I thought I'd gone back to the 60's, when LSD did not mean Limited Slip Differential!

That's a nice one mate! Good Find!

I'm also loving the competitions idea! A monthly one would be fantastic but are you sure it's not too much work for yourself? I don't know how difficult it is making a skin? :dunno:

Now i've done the base theme, A new one is simples.
I'll knock up silver/grey theme, then all that would need doing is upload a new background image as and when

Ooh ok! Well if it's alright with you we'll make it a monthly competition. If we call it the "prize winners skin" or something then each month you could just change the background.

I've uploaded the new background to the T Bar Green skin and have to say it's much more readable now! In fact it looks pretty damn awesome so well found mate! :thumbsup:
