I love the default, modern green. its incredibly simple, easy to use, easy on the eyes and incredibly well laid out. my only complaint with the default skin is that maybe the banner across the top could be updated. but really that's a minor thing at best. add whatever you'd like Adam as im sure more choices will make more people happy, but as long as modern green doesn't change in any serious way I will remain a happy forum goer.

It sure won't- only improved slightly if anything!

Any chance you could add some Arizona heat, cause it's awfully cold up here in Wisconsin.

Some people do still use dial-up although not myself.
In my case, I often use my Pocket PC to access the forum and the Simple skin is best because, as you say, it is void of graphics and faster loading, besides the fact it shows better using google mobile.

I appear to be using the forum default - Modern Green. Looks fine to me.
Thanks for the info re skins, Adam.

I use the Modern green at home and when viewing on my iPhone. I use Simple at work becuase they have something that won't let me view Todays link in the drop down but in the simple it works. I gave up long ago trying to figure it out.

I view the site very often on the iphone I di it in the modern green and work pretty well. Any improved mobile viewing would be apreciated.

I use Modern Red. It goes with the Pentax logo better.

I had half a mind to install Stylish and make my own skin, but I don't think I have enough time to do that.

I'm thinkin' since glossy is all the rage nowadays, I'd try turning those simple gradients into faux gloss.

simple skin-easier on my eyes

Or... a Windows Mobile device on 3G...

Simple skin is easier on my eyes too.

borno · 01-13-2009, 06:05 PM

I like the classic, the colors make me nervous

Green Modern Skin, my preferred ...

PFFJazzMan · 01-28-2009, 11:17 AM

Skins? What are those? So I rummaged around and found that I can select a different color scheme, who knew I could do that? LOL!. So I fiddled around and decided that though green is good I like simple better because it's blue. Also, the little numbers that show what page of a multi-page topic I'm on is more contrasty, if that's a word, so it's easier for me to see.

And so I voted...

PrimeObjectif · 01-28-2009, 11:45 AM

I agree with ftpaddict that the modern red works with the Pentax logo. It does make the forum logo look pretty communist, though. :P

**Digitalis** · 03-07-2009, 09:51 PM

I like the red one...red being my favourite colour...

kjacks · 05-07-2009, 07:48 PM
