Alright, so I've gone through 66 of them and written my reaction and a score for each one.

If any of the members here want to visit the experiment board to see which ones they like, and then request them here, that would make it a lot easier than installing every single style ;)


Thanks much to Holby :love: - his PM made me stop looking at all of these. It was sort of driving me nuts, so that's probably a good thing. ( :roll: @ self )

Anywho, here we go:

The Scale is from 1 to 10, 1 being bad, 5 being average, 10 being wonderful.



BBPurple - Hells No! --> 1

Cobalt 2.0 - It's ok. Others might really like it. --> 6

DarkSky - Very Dark, but I like it. --> 7

FIBlack3DBlue - Dark and modern. It grows on you. --> 6/7

Helius - Yuck! --> 1

Igloo - Very close to what we have now. Not necessary. --> 1

Iris - :sick: we hates this one precious. --> 1

Jenova - nice looking, and perfect for those who post from work. --> 10

Legend - So very very kitch and cheesy. Hate to say it, but I love it. --> 9

Clanz2k - errr, no. --> 1

digiTech - Very techy, but a pretty green colour. --> 8

FIBlue3D - same as FIBlack3DBlue but a much prettier colour. --> 8

FISubice - Almost exactly what we have now. Not necessary. --> 2

Icicle - Like what we have now, but warmer. Good for people posting from work. --> 7

nfsu - Not only dark, but boring. --> 2

Silver_Xire - Very pale & good for posting from work, but there is something about it I really don't like. --> 3

SmoothBlue - Boring. End of story. --> 1

Alexis - Puke Green. Yuck! --> 1

Aliens - Errr, no? --> 4

Aqua - Not bad. Not good either. --> 5

_____________________________________________________________

Alright - that's about half of them. I'll do a report on the rest some other time when I have another 4-5 hours spare. :)

Estel, I urge you to rethink FIApplePink.

I looked at it and...I just couldn't look away! :Q I think it's what we need. Give it another shot.

No, really.

















:cool: Just wear sunglasses. :halo:

I'm content with whatever you choose to add, so long I still have a nice pale boring one to select. I know - I'm so unhelpful. :P:mrgreen: To be honest, when I flicked through a load yesterday I was consistently underwhelmed.

Are we going to leave subsilver as the default style for now and then look to create our own when we move?

Somewhere to indulge your power-trippy wannabe admin tendencies: http://www.phpbber.com/phpbb/index.php? ... experiment

:mrgreen:

Or rather, somewhere to mess around with what the Admin panel can do, without screwing this board up.

Imp - take another look at it? :Q Are you trying to kill me? Make me go blind? The mere suggestion makes me think you don't like me... Don't like me at all :(

;)

Leoba - yeah, I'm not a fan of most of them either. That Jenova I suggested I liked mostly because it looks like any program you would pull up at work (least at jobs I've had), but it manages to be pretty at the same time. Pretty boredom - a very hard style to pull off ;) But yeah, we'll keep subsilver as our default. I just wanted to add a few other options for those who post from work as well - turns out, there's more options for them than anyone else :LMAO:

Would it be possible for one of the Rangers to add these styles:


Bluetabs

Classic

DAJ_Glass

Rainy Day


I've had a relook at them, and I really like these styles and think others might as well. Especially Rainy Day - tis very pretty :P


:cheers:

Yeah - it's the one I have as the default on my family board, but I like it so much I want to use it all the time, not just the once or twice a week I visit that board ;)

Is purdy :Wooper:

Thanks for getting it added and to Holby for adding it.

I definately am keeping it...may use Classical from time to time as it's also nice.

It goes well with your avatar too Eru - looks like it's almost supposed to be part of the style - all mischief disguised in elegance - just like a cat ;)

I like Rainy Day, too!

And it's got variable-width avatar boxes—a necessity as far as I;m concerned.

There's something about the added color compared to Aeolus that makes all the other colors seem brighter. It makes the board look more cheerful. :)

Thanks, Estel, for finding it, and Holby for adding it.
