I haven't heard back from Alcar in a while so I'm not sure if he forgot or if he got busy or what, but I figure I should at least show the fruits of my labour rather than let my announcement fall apart like another false promise. Here's some "previews" of the skin I said I had wanted to make. Based on the current Native and Industrial themes. If this ever gets implemented, I have a Sekto Springs theme in mind for the other vbull skin.
These were all compiled in a very messy HTML file I, for the most part, reverse engineered from the index.
I wanted to make the birthday icon a BIG SURPRISE after implementing the theme, but some things were just never meant to be.
Here's the whole skin, minus the background image I intend to hand paint for it, since that's not as vital as some of the other things that went into making this theme. Also minus the broken images. This screenshot was taken before I fixed all the links.
I'd like input on how to improve the text, but this is how I got it to stand out best against this background colour. Also, I thought using the spirit locks to indicate an open/closed thread was genius, thank you very much.
Rep icons. Little skulls. Teehee.
Over all, I just wanted something that was easier on my eyes, because the current themes all give me a headache looking at them for any longer than 15 minutes at a time. The eye strain is real.
