@ Stevie:  Oh, I don't know how I guessed... I just had a feeling ;)  Plus, as a bit of a web guru myself, its how i would do it.

Oh, and kudos on trying to make AS XHTML/CSS2 compliant... Are you looking at transitional standards or strict?  I'm guessing the table structure could be awkward...

Real men validate strict, or not at all -_-

Be patient, Grim, we're working on it as fast as we can...

Don't forget that we have work and things to worry about.

Do you really want your aqua back so badly that you'd be willing for us to release a badly made skin that we'd not put effort into? :P

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

just joking with ya buddy. the :P was ment to imply that.

take your time and make it pritty ;)

Perfect. I like the AS logo in the corner and the search function.

Also, how about a brushed skin? That would look cool.

#184238

I updated, what do you think now? Look in my first post. (Read the line above the image too.)

Looking nicer Lou as Magbi always has some nice 'tight ideas' which gives a lot of his work that 'Euro style' which I greatly admire...

;):lol:

It would kill Aqua-soft's 56k modem users bandwidth (or close to it). The brushed metal skin that AquaXP has (it's a choose-able skin now) done works but is even slow on a 256k connection.

@Lou. Add a black (1px) border around the collapse button (that's how it is in Mac OS X).

yeaah, I know. don't worry, the skin will be made with real ss's and resources from mac os x tiger, so don't worry. im just giving you guys a mockup of what it could/will look like. i think im done doing that too, its about time we start to make it, haha.

[edit] I changed it a bit for you, and also a few more little fixes. What do you think Fer, creator of the AS logo? [/edit]

#184426

Well this could/will look most excellent. :own: (even with those glyphs ;) )

#184463

What is the current date for release?

#184529

Lou, if you can make all the images, I'll do the (X)HTML and CSS for the site...

We'll sort it out on MSN, though :)

The current release date estimate is on the WheneverWeGetItDone'th of Soon.

#184530

Nothing is final on which skin we'll be using here at aqua-soft. Just letting you guys know.

#184585

take ur time, but plz not to long. i can´t acclimate to this default ipb-theme. lol ;)

ya, ya, i know. i don´t have to surf aqua-soft. lol

#184589

This default theme is killing me. My eyes..... :canadian:

#184869

I actually quitre like it :D please dont hit me

#184872

If you guys can live with the current skin for a week or two, then I might be able to get a new design together for a new skin, but if not I guess an updated version of the old skin will do?

#184904

My question is, "Why does everybody care about the skin?" Does the skin affect the ability for members to function within normal parameters? No!

Timan: Take your time. The skin shouldn't be as high of a priority as actually administering and moderating the forums.

I personally would say just concentrate on the new skin. People can lump it if they can't handle a couple of weeks with out an aqua skin... The main reason I visit here is because of the community, the skin is just the icing on the cake (that sounds a bit horrible >.< )

As DoubleD said, take as much time as you need, if people puke at the IPB skin or get a rash, i couldnt care less :P

You, of all members, should not be rushed to do ANYTHING here, you are doing a great job (being a lazy asss at times :P)

Yes, I am having problems...

#184933

You'll have to remake it all for RC1 as it will have big changes. I recommend you waiting for RC1, if not you'll have to remake it... or enjoy the problems/bugs the old skin will cause on RC1. ;)

Then go to AquaXP, print out a screenshot of the aqua skin, cut a hole in it. and tape it to your monitor. You'll never know the difference. :6
