    I will be Adding a Logo to the Top before long but that is all

    Take a Look and tell me what you think

    To change the Skin simply select it from the very bottom of the Screen

    Can you make your own skin? If so, would you accept submissions?

    Both are nice. Not sure which I like more. Since my current windows scheme is light though I think I will use Ambience.

    On the Tren though the "slogan" is a bit difficult to read. Might want a slight change in color.

    I can make my own, but I dont want to.......

    and what do you mean by "submissions" the question seems to be Phrased Wrong or I am just stupid this morning :p

    I really like the look of Ambience. One small thing I noticed on Tren_Z besides the Audiio is that there are funny white spaces around smilies and such. Ambience is great though.

    Wow, It looks like I am the only one that is using Tren_Z. I think that it is better looking, it will be MUCH better once the smilies don't have those white spaces..

    well the only problem will be the Tren_z will not have as many... it only comes with a color matched versions of the Invision Defualt Smilies,

    and I sm sure there will be others that like the Tren_z, I dont "dislike" it but I like lighter skins, vers darker skins

    however I know ALOT of people like the darker ones, just forsome reason they dissappeared...

    with that, if any one wants to finish the "Empty Bottle" skin I can export it and give it to you

    I just dont have the time to mess with skins right now

    well Skins are very indepth and you really have to have a good grip on HTML

    it is not something you can do in Frontpage


    Skin Sets are Imported and exported in XML

    if you want Sign up for a new account at coeus.caraudiotalk.com and I will give you limited admin access to the backend so you can take a look at the skin management area

    everything is sliced in to differan template bits, numbering in the 100's

    however believe it or not Empty bottle went from the defualt Blue to what it is not with just CSS changes

    it is not easy, but it is not hard either.
