Title: New Skin Critique

This is my first time at editing a board, so I know I've missed stuff. I was pleased with the coloring, but as I was falling asleep last night, I realized it may look pretty...but it is really practical for a board?

I like the image background, and basically worked around it. So, here is what I have. If this is ugly, seriously, tell me. I don't care. I will fix it. If it's nice, thank you, but I need to know why it's nice so I can fix it. I am one of those users who like pretty boards, and I know other users are the same way. So please, let me know if this would be rp user quality =) Thanks!

Testing.

Edit: Oh, and the very bottom, where the stats are, it is a different color on purpose as I'm still experimenting with whether I want the light blue or not.

i like the skin overall, but the #033649 color for the forum background is too heavy for me. try making it lighter, or use a pale purple?

the #B0BCBF color (titlemedium) is also questionable... is that from the default invisionfree skin? because i don't see it anywhere in the background and it doesn't really fit in with the color scheme. i would suggest #58786B or a few shades darker than row4 for titlemedium.

darkrow1 is still the default color. my suggestion is to try to find every page on the forum (from topics to the pm menu to the search, etc. etc.) to figure out what elements you've missed.

i also suggest adding some space between the top/bottom of the page and the top/bottom of the board.

i really do like it, though. it's suitable for a board, in my opinion. it's not too hard on the eyes, but it does stand out against the gray-on-gray skins.

Yeah, I thought the blue was very dark too. So I either thought of going purple, or with a light brown.

The forum's table color was from the original skin. I thought it looked okay, but I'm can fix it if it doesn't fit.

The Guide! Use that. It'll help. A little bird told me to show you. >.>

Oh wow, thank you very much.

I've updated the skin color, just ignore the font color and the light blue. Please let me know what you think.

I really like the color scheme. :)

I would remove the white borders around the tables though.
