What's with the new skin? It looks nice, but it's missign the "show new posts since last visit" link, and it's hard to tell what's what sometimes... On the plus side it looks great (if a little macish...) |

Yeah, just logged on today at school, and all I'm seeing is Mac colors. Oh well, it's pretty nice looking anyways. Just when did we implanted this skin? |

No. I will also implement a script that will not let you access the forums unless your system is detected to be OS X. In two weeks. This way everybody will have a chance to order and recieve their new systems

Apple has always had a program where if you order a computer shortly before a new OS ships (and ships on every new Mac), they'll send you a free copy of the new OS. I think the time period is something like 10-20 days. |

Hey, I get Linux updates for free for an infinite timespan after I install it.
But yeah, I'm trying to stop the Mac bashing... |

Sorry, we just have to leave it like this at least until Dan sees it. I think it looks pretty slick actually. Minus the bar at the top, which is kinda stupid. |

I welcome and encourage other people's views and opinions. As long as they are the same as my own. Therefor Dan has been delt with. Welcome to my world |

I've got nothing against Apple, but are we trying to turn ourselves into Mac fanboys? Great that we've finally got a non blue theme, but c'mon now... EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm going to need some new sections for Sega Genesis hardware, and Sega Genesis games. But not the 32X, and not the slimmer version either. And it has to be about the Sega Genesis in use with the big old standard 3 button + dpad + start controllers (non of this x y z + turbo crap). |

Honestly, I do not like the new look. Its really hard on the eyes. |

I like the whites and greys, but it is still hard on the eyes. Maybe a little less contrast. Then again, perhaps the problem is that it's getting dark and I haven't turned my lamp on yet. 
In any case, the stuff needs to extend to the edges of the page. Perhaps it would look fine on 800x600, but not on anything higher. |

What a drag. The bitch never showed up. I'm beginning to think martin hcked my computer and put that message on it to trick me. Anyways (ah damn, I'm gone for 7 hours and the old theme is back), I liked the colours of the background stuff but I didn't care for the buttons/icons. Especially the ones at the top (far too big). |

I didn't even get to see it  ...
Any chance of adding a "themes" option - maybe for v3?  |

It's already there, actually. It just, y'know, doesn't do anything. |

It just, y'know, doesn't do anything. Reason for it being is that we have mods that require additional files (and editing to the existing files) than what themes have. Such as when I dropped the theme in last night, a lot of things have gotten broken. I had to make some adjustments to make it work, but mod features were still missing. Point is -- you get a choice of theme, but they get overwriten by our config |

Green? Sure, it's a nice colour, but terrible for a theme. Have you ever tried using the Windows XP Olive Green colour scheme? And left it like that? The green at on the taskbar and the title of each window attract far too much attention, making it hard to look at what you actually WANT to look at. Heck, even Windows XP's blue scheme is a bit too much like that. I think the blue XP scheme would be a lot better if the blue were toned down a bit, much like the blue's on this site. |

Blue is, in general, a horrible user interface color. It's harsh, cold, and uninviting. It just makes you feel uncomfortable to sit in front of a computer with a heavily blue interface. A little bit of blue as an accent is acceptable, but making it a dominant color in a UI is unacceptable. |
