    I have gotten to the Point where I can say it is 95-98% done so I am opening it up for User Trial

    Please post any Suggestions, Comments, or areas you find that "dont look right"

    I am sure I forgot a few CSS changes and it will make it look "weird" in some spots


    Go to your Control Panel and Select the Skin titled "Empty Bottle" :p

    Well I think I am 99% there,


    I also think this one is going to be our new Defualt theme, I was not sure if I wanted to use it or not

    but the more like Look at it the more I like it


    any Objections???



    I thought not :p :p :p


    Anyway. Please post any other Bugs, and spelling mistakes

    I want to go place it as defualt today if possible

    I changed all of the images from the Blue to Grey or Red. and I updated some Items in the User Contorl Panel that did not show really well

    the Calender is the only thing I see left, and no one uses it anyway soo ;)

    ohh and that speeling mistake in the header B)

    anything else you guys spot?

    after I get this done I can progress with the PHOTO GALLERY :jawdrop: :yes:

    you mean you get the error when you click the "view new posts" link at the top?

    if not, where?

    this is not a skin issue that, that is seperate from the skin, but it is a bug that needs to be addressed

    No offense Mike, but this theme looks "devil" like. Waaaaay toooo gothic looking for a caraudio site.

    It may just be my tase, but Im not feeling it at all. ;)

    well Surprisingly your the only one that has had anything negitive to say....


    everyone I have talked to on PM, email, or IM have loved the new look,


    until the Final version of the Software comes out this is probally how iit will stay unless there is an overwelling Negitive Reponse till then


    the Defualt Blue IPB is still a Option, you can select that ;)

    as far as it being too Gothic or too "dark" that is what EVERYONE complained about, I was not making them "dark enough"


    What Changes do you think are needed?

    Graphics

    Colors

    Everything?

    I like the theme very much. It is just about perfect.

    The only problem I see is the "Mark this forum as read" and "Subscribe to this forum" buttons are black text on a black background. Kinda hard to read em like that :p .

    yes seth pointed that out too me

    I had to Recreate it due to a Bug Fix Pack that was released and it Broke the Skin

    so alot of the Bugs I worked out BEFORE I released it, were Cancelled

    I am in the process of fixing all the Minor Formatting Errors

    have to admit, I agree that it looks way to gothic for a car audio site. The previous colors were more appropriate I thought (even though I did not much care for them, I like them better than this).

    Come on Now Guys

    Maybe I should do like CAF and leave ti Defaulted and only Change the Logo???

    Personally I love this color Scheme. I dont say ANYTHING gothic about it at all


    but at the very Least explain in more detail why you think that, Give me Certin Items that could be Imporoved

    you understand how hard it is for me to Change, or Create a New Skin with only a Basic quote like that

    "Too Gothic" what I am suppose to Do with that Statment??????

    I work my ass of, and spend a Great deal of my own money to host and creat this site.

    I want to Make it Successful, I want to have a look that the member Enjoy.

    but I need a little more feedback than that

    Say stuff

    I like This .....................

    but this needs ....................................
