Administrators Alex Posted May 28, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 28, 2015 The old skin we were using (Xbox Skin) had some pretty funky issues. It was a cheap, unreliable skin that while I thought looked good on my 1920x1080p monitor, did not fare well on low resolution monitors, and also was a little wonky with blogs. I've purchased and installed a new skin that I've been fighting with for hours to try and get the colors right. At the end of the day, you can use the "Edit Style" button near the top right to customize them however you'd like. This skin is different, and it's going to take some getting used to, I understand, but I think it's overall a much better skin. If you really hate it, you're welcome to use the "Change Theme" button at the very bottom left hand corner of the page, and there's quite a few options you have to pick from, including the old default Xbox Skin. Hope you don't hate me too much for this 6 Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Arthur James Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Is there a option to change the format of the forum like the space btw words can be more packed, cozy etc? Edited May 28, 2015 by Arthur James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you much for leaving this available. While I appreciate you changing the theme to fix issues and make it better, I like the older one better (and never had issues). Too often web designers just update skin and leave you no choice but to accept it, so this is very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigInZen Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hey Sheepy, thanks! This will allow all Mensa HQ nutjobs devotees to make the background the color of the sands of Pakistan and the main forum highlights a near-Paki green. I would like it more if you made a true sand color available and darkened the green to match that of the Pakistani national flag. But beggars cannot be choosers. 3 Priest of Dio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reagan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Nice selection on the theme. Until now, I've always used the default IPB theme here because I never cared for any of the custom themes. This one is modern and easy on the eyes. For what it's worth, there should be an option to disable the text logo and insert your Politics & War Forums image banner if you prefer it. Great theme, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
