A skin is a theme for the board. We have a variety of different skins on the board. To change skins go into your member profile and select one from the drop down box next to "Select Skin." If you have any problems PM me.

The default skin has been changed for the month of October. The Halloween skin is now in full effect until November 1st.

So, I'm a noob when it comes to making skins, but I thought I'd give it a shot. If you go to the skin pull-down you will now see one titled 'Cheap Toy'. I figured it was about time we had one for the Toys.
Like I said, it's a first-stab, so I'd appreciate any feedback/advice/comments/etc.
THANKS!

The skin looks good. I like the darker colors more than the mock you made earlier. I like the colored toys on the b&w pics.

Yeah - I have been giving myself a migraine trying to get these colors straightened out. Pretty happy with it now so I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. Making skins is harder than I thought it would be!! (at least making ones that don't blind people :electric: ) Thx for the feedback. |

Making skins is harder than I thought it would be!! (at least making ones that don't blind people  ) Thx for the feedback. It's not too easy that's for sure. That's why I haven't gotten around to the ANS6 skin yet. Lot's of trial and error makes it time consuming. Not to mention making all the icons. |

I think the Cheap Toy skin looks very good considering its your first attempt.  |

Yes, there were 2 Christmas skins last year. But I deleted them because I wanted to do something completely new. Now I don't feel like it.  Maybe I'll get some motivation in a week or two, unless someone else wants to tackle it. They are very time consuming. I still need to update some of the older skins with better banners. |

Well...it had been a while since I created a new skin for the GPKUG, so I figured I was due. I have added ' GPKUG News' to my list of skins I've created (along with the Cheap Toys Skin and Boulevard of GPK). With each skin, I try to make the 'look' and 'feel' quite different from any other skin that's available to choose from. I will make some small tweaks here and there over the next few days - and if you see anything that is obviously a mistake, please let me know. I DO hope you enjoy it, as it was definitely the most time consuming skin I have created to date! Thanks! |

THE GPKUG NEWS SKIN as a MASTERCARD COMMERCIAL - Idea Creation = 2 hours - Photo Editing = 7.5 hours - Creating a .psd with over 71 layers = 11 hours - 4 .gif files totaling 313 frames = 4.25 hours
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Creating one of the most detailed and time-consuming 'who-cares' skins ever = PRICELESS Oh well - At least I enjoy it. Nico...This is my all time favorite UG skin!!! Very impressive! Very unique! me fuggin loves it...me likie!!! -TCT |

Thanks...I'm glad you like it  As for the files - it's not really that easy. There aren't any 'files' to send. If you're really interested in making one, I would suggest signing up for your own Proboards forum and playing around with the look/feel there. |

I know this is going to sound really, really stupid, but I do not understand what the fugg a "skin" is?
I cannot see what you guys are talking about? Nic's new avator?
Sorry (in advance) for being such an idiot.....

Sorry (in advance) for being such an idiot..... Not a dumb question at all... Just click on your profile, and then choose 'Modify Profile'. Towards the bottom is a pulldown titled 'Skin'...from there you can choose different looks for the board. PM me if you're having troubles. |

So I went ahead and created a quick ANS7 skin that you can use in anticipation of the new release. It's not fancy or detailed...rather just a quick skin to get the point across. Hope you like it! And comments/suggestions/etc are always welcome! Thanks |
