What should the message board's default forum skin be set to? Remember, you can always go into your board profile and change your skin; the default isn't necessarily what everyone will be using.
You can check out the forum skins by modifying your profile under 'Account Preferences'.

While I do like the "Realism" skin, I think it's nice - "Rise of Day" tends to set the mood a little better for me. More importantly, it will be what newcomers see. I don't know...if they find the MUCK through the forum and see all this gray, they might get the wrong impression. *shrug* Plus, I like the little lion buttons on "Rise of Day".  |

I think that Rise of Day presents a more cheerful look than the Realism or the overly dark and blue Endless Night pages do, myself! Give us more bright colors!

I don't think Realism has enough contrast in general, which can be a problem with some monitors (like the one I was using yesterday). Endless Night is hard for me to read. I think Rise of Day is far and away the best for a default skin.

I never liked the Endless Night/Rise of Day banner. It looked corny. XP
I did like the lions, though. So if we end up staying that route, keep the lions, but change the banner to something more along the lines of Realism's banner.
However, I do like Realism (w/ Lighter Text) best of all, and that's what I voted for.

I voted for Realism with lighter text, as that's my favorite. Although I was using Endless Night for a long, long time.

I voted Rise of Day. As Gwala said, it portrays the mood of the place best, I think (I've never liked Endless Night- too hard to read). But Realism's a close second.

It looks like 'Realism' came out on top, but Kiniro has just added a new skin called 'Glorious Sky' which is (in Kini's own words) "lighter than Realism, but not as garish as Rise of Day".
Would anyone prefer this to be the default skin? We can hold another poll.

Well, it's quite nice - to tell the truth, I kind of like Realism better, probably because I'm such a big fan of grey. *shrug*
I still think "Rise of Day" sets the mood better for newcomers, though.

I appreciate the idea of Glorious Sky, but I still can't stand it. Any dark background color is going to seem inappropriate to me, and I find cream-colored text difficult to read.

Oh yeah, by the way: what happened to the lion buttons? D: "Rise of Day" isn't as appealing without them.

I'm not sure, actually. I think my image host suddenly went kablooie. I'll see if I can get them back up sometime soon.
EDIT: All the cute little images should be up and working again.

Thanks, Kiniro! I was annoyed at that, too.

By the way- my 'idea' or 'intentions' for the new skin weren't intentions at all, good or bad. I didn't make it to please anyone, just threw it together on a whim. So nobody really has to like it. It's just a random thing, which I pointed out when I made it.
