I use the industrial style. I like it a lot more. The color scheme is really cool, and I like the industrialists in Oddworld.

I use Native...Industrial looks mighty cool, but I have a really slow connection, and Native loads in about half the time of Industrial for some reason.

Really? I was switched from industrial to native a while back, and then back to industrial. I'll have to try the load time thing. Much like with old, poorly done animation or internet streaming video, the choppiness and slowness is getting annoying.

I would use Industrial but it slows down my comp, and thus i use native. Both quite purty though...

I've always used Industrial. I've seen the Native scheme and Industrial fits me best. The blacks and blues are more appealing to me.

The industrial style is more fancy, so it would take more time to load than the native one generally. It was designed for looks rather than faster loading. So if you want a faster loading one, go with Native.

I also heard Peter mention that Sydney gave us permission to use his old styles again ... maybe we should impliment a couple to give people another choice.

I use industrial. I was really happy with how the design came out. Plus I used to hate the native style for personal reasons. Although it doesn't bug me anymore.

I use Industrial, because I love darkness, but upon learning of Native being faster, I may change back.

Go to 'user cp'.............then to 'edit options' and there you will find the 'style set' where you can change from Industrial to Native or vice versa.

Josh is talking about the style I posted as a preview in Employee Lounge. But, rightly so, it wasn't Oddworld-ish enough.

Industrial. I prefer the black background. And my banner looks better on it than on green background.

Sydney's styles would probably be the fastest loading, as they have no BG images at all. They are just a simple logo in the top left corner and some custom buttons.

I actually think the native style clashes too much color wise now days. I got a lot of criticisim about it at the time ... that the green and blue were a bad idea. It would be better if it had a darker green in there instead of the blue.

I agree, i think we should change native style's color to yellow and purple. Those color are the most interesting i think.

Hello TheNative2003. I do currently use the industrial view. But sometimes I use the native view as I do like the colours and header a lot more than industrial. I think I will change again soon.
