Hey everybody!
To celebrate Botcon coming this week, the Allspark Forums have been rebranded with a Botcon-themed skin! Watch out for all our Botcon coverage in the coming days. A BUNCH of staff are going to be there, including me! I had a lot of fun working this up, and I hope it gets everyone in the Botcon mood. For those who have never changed your skin, it should have changed automatically. For those who have, you will probably have to reset manually. --Daytonus P.S. If you prefer to go back to the tried-and-true, the skin selector is at the bottom of the forums. This post has been edited by Daytonus: May 30 2011, 11:10 PM -------------------- |

Gave me a bit of a shock at first, it's so different that the normal skin. But I like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

Do we get to keep this after Botcon? There's parts of this I rather like.

I do not care for how the textured elements interact with the flat colored cells. the yellow/black stripes are fine though.
And that light purple really pops out - which is something text should do, not only slightly important bonus data. --------------------        |

Honestly though, this is a great skin and quite a surprise when I was looking through the forums. Always great to see the effort that the staff puts into the site and forum. -------------------- Knowledge combined with experience are the building blocks to enlightenment.

Oh, huh, this is rather nice. Close enough to the purple to seem familiar, thankfully not as much of a contrast as Classic Gears.
Didn't switch automatically for me though, odd. This post has been edited by Enbee: May 30 2011, 11:08 PM -------------------- |

Nice! I think I'll stick with the regular skin for now, though.

I don't understand what these...unusual colors and accents have to do with Botcon.

Plus, everytime I see the caution stripes next to the fuschia, I go "Thrust, overdrive!" QUOTE(ExVee @ May 31 2011, 12:03 AM) Do we get to keep this after Botcon? There's parts of this I rather like. We'll keep it as long as we are using this iteration of the forum software. After that, I plan on making a skin that would use some of these elements.

Some of them I don't agree with, but others are worth considering. Thanks for checking it out! QUOTE(DropCAT @ May 31 2011, 12:09 AM) Thanks! QUOTE(The Doctor Who @ May 31 2011, 12:12 AM) Nice!

 More than a little ridiculous! Group: Supporter Posts: 6,664 Joined: 29-November 08 Member No.: 12,138 Faction: Cannonball's Pirate Crew |
I can't say that I like it that much. But hey, people like their options!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif) Then I scrolled up and saw the Botcon coverage banner and understood, and I'm getting used to it.

Wow. Heh, not for me -- I like my board colours a little more subdued. But, fun for a few minutes.

Yeah, for those folks who need some more chilled-out colors, don't worry, I'm not offended. I basically designed the site that I would want to go to, which I assumed would be an audience of me and a dozen other blind people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif)
