Rob38: creator of skin
Dark Lord of the Sith: answering my questions and providing support
TheDeadPlayer: images and color palette from the main site
Hostile: creator of ring images
I now realize why no one wanted to make a new skin. While it had very time-consuming and tedious to create, I hope all the T3A members enjoy the new atmosphere. With acitivity increasing rapidly in the past month and a leadership change, what better way to celebrate than with our very own T3A skin!
Just one last quick note. The skin is still in development and some things still need to be worked on. If you have any suggestions for the skin or notice something wrong, let me know here.

First of all, thanks for the effort. The idea is good, and I kinda miss the old skin. However:
- This is not the old skin, but rather a new one somewhat similar to the old skin.
- This is more red and brownish, whilst the old one was more of red and orange-ish.
- The old/previous version was more easy on the eyes. This one looks good per se, but it's a bit of a strain on the eyes. The fonts tend to get a bit "swallowed"
and certain colors, like strong blue and red (like Project icons, blue and red text, etc) bleed into the background. The GIF smileys have white borders that makes them look a bit "pasted" on these colors...
- CRT monitors like mine, have serious problems mixing colors for small items like this, and the blurring and bleeding gets worse...
I dunno, but I for one will swap locally to the default skin. Not cause this doesn't look good, but cause the default one is easier on the eyes, in the long run.
Again, great effort though!
EDIT: Uhm... I can't switch skin???

Yeah, some colors are definitely hard to read, and readability has suffered a bit. Nothing that can't be fixed, right?

I get the same problem, it won't let me change back to Rev It 2.2. How can I change it? The drop-down at the bottom doesn't work.Uhm, but why can't I change back? Or change to any skin fo that matter?

Silly Naz... did you not read the part where I said post all suggestions here. Anyways, sine you posted here, I mind as well respond to it.
Some views, if that's ok...
- This is not the old skin, but rather a new one somewhat similar to the old skin.
- I know it's not the old one.
- This is more red and brownish, whilst the old one was more of red and orange-ish.
- I changed the color palette a bit to match the one used on the main site.
- The old/previous version was more easy on the eyes. This one looks good per se, but it's a bit of a strain on the eyes. The fonts tend to get a bit "swallowed"
and certain colors, like strong blue and red (like Project icons, blue and red text, etc) bleed into the background. The GIF smileys have white borders that makes them look a bit "pasted" on these colors...
- You really need to read my first post. . The skin is still in development and I'm addressing the things you said.
- CRT monitors like mine, have serious problems mixing colors for small items like this, and the blurring and bleeding gets worse...
- Not much I can do there. I'm not having any problems reading it.
Exactly!Sweet, what i've been waiting for for quite some time... finally.
Yeah, some colors are definitely hard to read, and readability has suffered a bit. Nothing that can't be fixed, right?
Please, everyone post your suggestions in the link I gave.

EDIT: The blue text is hard to see, but I love postcount, and emoticons have no white borders anymore.
