The new skin is a welcome change from the one that's been here forever. As Bigode said, however, the dark red in the PS3 tags section is too dark.

I think the ps3 tags look cool, but are hard to read. But still awesome new skin all the colors match well and present great contrast (black and blue= awesomeness).

The post, post reply, quote, QR buttons are still Sol-red though.

And hmm, I think I'd prefer a more grey-ish approach. Black is so... extreme. We'll see if it's intuitive in the long run.

Also, it's a bit hard to differentiate between Unread and Read threads.

That's my critique. Otherwise, yay blue~

Everything I have is blue. My laptop is blue. My sticks are blue. My flashlight is blue. My drinking glasses are blue. Shit. I just noticed I'm like the 'I'm blue' song. Oh well.

But yeah.

- I'll change the ps3 tab label later if i can find hte right settings

- I prefer the user cp up near where it says Welcome ____ since it makes more sense to put all account-related links together. I'll probably change the size and color of it to be more visible later.

- Those buttons are still red because they're all images and i would need to make new ones (or have someone else make them for me), whereas all the other changes are essentially css and php. I'll be changing the buttons eventually, though if someone can make an acceptable button set, it'd save me some time.

Derp, nevermind, it *is* greyish. I was looking at the Reply page. But general text content has a grey background, which is good.

[A.X.I.S.]

i love where the CP is at too, good stuff man.

[RinHara5aki]

I like it. The general look and CP placement is great.

Just some .gif files/smilies have a visible white border around them now since its on a black background. But it doesn't kill anybody.

Hey, shtkn!! XD

I really like the new forum style. I was getting pretty sick of the old one.

If I may make a suggestion, you might want to try going a shade lighter on the background. Instead of pitch black (000000, I assume), maybe try 111111 and see how that looks.

For the forum posts themselves, it might be worth trying a grey that's one step lighter than what it's using now. Can't really tell how good it'd look with a slightly lighter background until you actually change it, though.

Anyway, just a thought. ;D

Possibly consider changing some of the icons such as , looks a bit off on the black bg because of artifacts around the edges, if possible.

Like the dark skin though.

EDIT: Sorry if already mentioned.

[shtkn]

if someone wants to redraw those sprites, then let me know. Personally, i don't think it's worth the trouble

Just putting my vote in for a Mobile skin. I often check dustloop from my phone and while it does work, it's a little awkward.

[CakeWasBannedd]

A mobile layout would be cool. Basically just make buttons bigger and remove some unnecessary stuff and DL will run dandy on mobile. At the moment it's really slow and you have to zoom in tons in order to hit some buttons.

[TaoFTW]

As one who updates tournaments and post ranbat dates on my cellphone, I would - greatly - appreciate it.

[Skye]

The new skin is pretty cool.

I'd like to suggest a few custom buttons and designs, so it can look more like a new skin than a basic recoloring.

I'd like to contribute to that if at all possible.

It would also be a cute touch to change the banner for this skin to Ragna's jd loop.

Attached is the iconset that we use for forum buttons. I know we don't use all of them, but *shrug* that's what's in the folder. There's obviously more icons that we use than the ones attached, but consider these the start. If you'd like to re-do them, I have the following conditions:

1. make sure they look good in both light and dark skins (so we don't have 5 sets of icons floating around)

2. try to keep the images small (filesize-wise) so we don't burn up the server. These icons would be used for a mobile skin too if we can get away with it

if you're still interested, let me know

Sure, man! I'll do what I can.

[Sephi_hatu]

Easy suggestion for the new bb skin: make the black lighter, or make the white font grayer. White on black kills the eyes.

[Skye]

Oh yeah, I can use transparency, right?

[Circuitous]

24-bit PIIIIIIIING.

Filesize would prolly be too big.

[Skye]

Well, I'm not asking for any real leeway, just for the small areas in the background since I'm thinking shapes with radius and circumferences for the new buttons.

[Circuitous]

Worth a shot really, if the filesize isn't much different.

Could you make it so when a thread you're subscribed to gets a new post, you get a notification? Like in the same way you get notified if you get a Visitor Message.

[Dr.Faust]

I think that there should be a way to identify mods because every one on this site has the some red "Name"

[Spirit Juice]

Huh? Red name?

[Dr.Faust]

I was saying that its hard to find mods beacuse all the Members names are in red but now I see that the mods are in bold.
