Yep colours are definitely better. Re: that bar thing, I dunno - it just doesn't look right. I'm being picky but, they're not *deadly* centred
Try line-height: {height of image} if you can't get it to centre perfectly. I would just maybe say that those links need like a box around them, even if it is slightly transparent or something.
Also - very good of you to accept the critique! I know from experience that especially with forum skins (that take ages) you can spend ages looking at it while you build it and it ends up looking great but other people will spot heaps of flaws...
I've only ever made one *complete* IPB skin (
this), it's a horrible skinning engine really but you're doing a great job
Firstly, the text colours for those fields would of course still require to be some kind of blue, red and green. Secondly, I could remove the colour part from the markup and replace it with simply a class, but that means we'd need to add such a definition to each and every past and future skin to make sure it shows up correctly. In other words, it's much easier if you adjust the background colour in this one skin to fit those colours.
No. Just wrap the span in a class (or <div class="style etc.">) but leave the colour in the markup and just replace it for the T3A skin. And @2play, yeah classes would definitely be better. My bad.
And for the header, try a margin-top: -5px; on the header or something. Little hacky but will kill that problem (whatever it is).
