Hi!
I was wondering if I can post a request to have a skin made for my board? I am looking for something simple to match the colours of my chat room. If anyone can help, please let me know and I will leave the details here. Thanks!

I am just going to move this to the Skin Requests sub-board (don't worry, I just created it a minute ago. lol). Ok, well it sorta depends on what you want. I am not great with forum colors, but I can do some stuff. It just depends on what you want. Go ahead and post the details, and if I don't think I can do it, maybe our other graphic designers, Tammy or Ellie will be able to do it for you.

Very cool, thanks for responding... that is quick! Okay, my board is located here: www.ccsins.proboards61.com/As you can see it is very dark -- it is alright, but not what I want. You see, I want something that matches the colours to my Chat Room which is here: underground.chatropolis.com:1588/enter/crescentcitysins (copy and paste the link in a new window, please) I dig the blue and white stripe background and would like the text fonts and what not pretty much the same colours as I use on the chat room entrance page. I want it to be as simple as possible, but if anyone is feeling creative they can do a matching banner or something in glitter, I am totally open to new ideas and will check here regularly. I appreciate any help at all. The skin that I am using now in my forum is one I did not create but that was for public use. I don't want any black in the new creation -- if anyone can help out I would appreciate it. Also, I will give credit to the designer(s) as well on my affiliates board. Thanks in advance!!!!! *hugs*

Ok, two things.....
I'm not sure what blue and white stripped background you're talking about. All I see is gray and white. ?? Could I get the URL to it please?
Also, could you please give me the hex codes for the colors that you want? It would be a big help.
Hopefully I will be able to start working on this tomorrow. I have about half an hour to study for a s.s test that I have tomorrow.

color: #990C0B #FFFFFF #DFDFDF #E5E5E5
Using white and black are fine for any text. Please match up the red's and blues that are used on the entrance page to the chat room.
Hope this helps! Thanks in advance!

I'd be willing to give this a try. It might take me a day or two.
Ashley, I don't want to step on any toes. Are you already working on this one or am I okay to give it a try?

No, go ahead. I haven't started yet. I have been so busy with homework this week from trying to get caught up since I stayed home from school all last week with the chicken pox.

Okay, I'll start working on it then. Thanks! And I hope you're feeling better! The chicken pox is no fun.

Oh wow, Ellie! Thanks so much! Can you keep it up for a few days for me so I can copy everything and test it out. I will have time on the weekend to do that. Do you want me to post when I saved everything? Awesome... you do great work! I appreciate it so much!
*hugs*

Hey Ellie, Can you have a look at my forum to see if I have everything up and running properly like you designed it? The only thing I noticed is that the news fader is that the text is really bold, is it just me? Thanks again!!!

I just took a peek and everything looks like it's in place. I'm not sure about the font for the news fader. I checked at some of my other sites and it looks like bold text is the default for the fader. There might be a code to change that, but I don't know of any just off-hand. I'm really glad (and relieved!) that you like the skin. It was a fun project!
