Cool SLU Lightens Up

After two years of having a dark theme as the default, SLU is lightening up. The newest skin, Fat Pack SLU, which features 9 color options, is the new default. Dark SLU and Blue SLU are still available as well and will continue to be updated.

A couple of things have been moved around on the Fat Pack skin - the New Posts link is its own tab at the top, iSpy, SLShopper and the Arcade are on the Quick Links menu, and Calendar is on the Community menu. I still have a few more minor adjustments to make but I think I have put back all the major options.

I hope you enjoy the new forum skin, and please provide feedback if you have any questions or issues with it.

To switch to the new skin, select it from the skin selection menu at the bottom of each page.

Well that freaked me out. I posted to the never ending countdown thread and when I hit reply it went to THIS SKIN. I thought I broke something!!

I like it in red...thanks for the lighter look.

I can only take credit for the modifications - the base skin, amazingly, was available for free, and it integrated beautifully with the current site. I am glad you like it I will work on adding a few more color options when I get a chance.

Does it drop the tag below the av?

Where mine used to say "Don't give up the Ship"?

or is that just me...

No worries mate. My mood also seems to be perma-stuck. That could really just be me. Is that a problem for anyone else?

(Cris, I just decided to change my profile up and sorry mate, but I thought you'd rather know...)

Pretty cool Cris. I will probably switch once you get it all fixed up. Thanks.

I finally moved my self from 'troll status sans picture' to actually figuring out how to fill the thing out. Mine is the link to my store I think, where it used to say "always in need of coffee"

Can't wait to see this all done. It's nice!

edit....duh...need more coffee...it's there just switched *slinks off*

I always used the blue option. I couldn't take the black. This is a much better default. I logged out to look at the new default look. There seems to be a problem with the login on the top right. I can't type into it. I had to quote someone and use that login screen.

Same for me with actually changing my status, but I am only posting this because I just noticed I am almost about to hit 3,000 posts. Anyhow, according to plurk, Cris rightfully went to bed.

Beta testers, the lot of yaz.

It's Firefox 3.5.3 on Windows. It might have something to do with me setting a minimum font size.

I am using the same version, so that must be it. I will play around with it when I get a chance - it works fine for you on the other skins right?

I just noticed something interesting in Firefox with this skin. You can switch colors from the View-->Page Style menu.
