Rather than keep posting messages in the CBox, I'll just make a thread on this (if it's alright?).
I like to play around with Graphics and stuff. I'm the only one that does it on my own board (H:TEC), as my fellow admins there are all afraid they're going to break something
if they mess around in the Headers/Footers and stuff.
However, as such, in boredom and what not, I decided to play around with making a layout/skin for here. I made one version, which I then changed again a few days ago as the old style I started to dislike. I tend to make the layouts after first initial one in the same style until I discover something new; so, the one on my testing board is very much like the one on TEC.
I don't know if the admins ever want to try this layout on here, or not, but since I was playing with the information in regards to HAND, I feel I should at least show it and offer it if they want to use it or not. It doesn't matter to me if it gets used or not. As I said, I just like doing this stuff, especially when I get bored. If anything, I might regurgitate the skin and make it another extra skin on H:TEC later (the color scheme).
I gave D'rorah the password to the adminized Guest account on the Testing Board, but if any of the other admins want it, just send me a PM or ask her (if she remembers it), if you want to poke about in the headers and footers -- though I ask that you don't change anything on the board itself, as I don't have the stuff backed up, like how it appears on the Testing Board, so if you screw something up, I might not be able to fix it and what not. If you do want to play around with it, I suggest creating your own testing board and copying the information from mine and paste it into your own. This way you can play around and see how things works, but if you screw up you still have the original to look back at.
Lately, I haven't felt I've been able to make banners very well, so as you can see the banner on the testing board, is the lovely one Wysteria made. I only altered it slightly by taking away the border she made and adding a new border that is the same color of the title and category bars. I did this as it pulled the skin together more in my opinion. As I don't like to use too bright colors (as that can hurt the eyes after a while), which the banner uses, so it helped to pull it all together with her lovely banner.
