Kei Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 [font="Tahoma"][color="#000080"]The blue made me think something was wrong with my browser, not gonna lie. I kinda preferred the red with the scheme (though blue is my favorite color), but I suppose I'll get used to it, eventually. [/color][/font]
James Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 [font="Palatino Linotype"]We'll see how it goes - it can be changed to any colour. Possibly we can have different versions of XL Basic with different colours.[/font]

That or the ability to pick our own color. Anyway, I certainly do like the Blue better. Red was okay but just not my thing. ^^[/font][/color]
James Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 [font="Palatino Linotype"]I personally didn't mind the red, but it was a very strong colour - very hard on the eyes, especially with such a minimal theme.[/font]
Korey Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 [font=Garamond]I just loaded the site and the blue for Basic works rather nicely actually. I dig this a lot.[/font]
Gavin Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Hmm Blue Basic isn't too bad, although I still think I'm going to stick with Wet Paint, it's still the cheeriest one available. I also swear that if Des or anyone else tries to bring back Carameldansen I will track you down and drown you in your own latrine.[/size][/font]
Desbreko Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 [color=#4B0082]Do or do not. There is no try. And the only reason I'm not doing it right now is because I'm busy with other things.[/color]

Wet paint works for me now... but until i get a bright pink skin with a dancing gif i doubt i will ever be truly happy.

James Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 [font="Palatino Linotype"]Yep, you are right about that. Orange and blue are complimentary colours, which is why they are used so regularly. From a design perspective, they "work" together extremely well. Then again, I think white and blue is used just as regularly - but perhaps for different reasons. The difficulty we had with OB XL is that we did not have time to design our own custom skins (and historically, OB has nearly always had a custom skin design). That is partly why this version of OB has a bit of an alien feel for a lot of people. So with that said, the choice was either a) just leave the default IPB skin or b) invest in some designer skins. I chose the latter. Once we've done our next upgrade - which itself will be quite large - we'll be in a position to go back to producing full custom skins again. [/font]
PiroMunkie Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) [color="#A0522D"][font="Arial"]Yeah, yeah. I know they're complimentary colors and all that, lol. Red and green are probably too strongly associated with Christmas to be used. Purple and yellow has a pretty strong contrast that wouldn't be too pleasing to the eyes. I get it. I like orange. Not too fond of blue, though. [/font][/color] Edited July 26, 2010 by PiroMunkie
Nathan Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 [font="Arial"]I'm using basic. Orange is nice but the shade of blue to go with it is rather blah. I find the lack of banner more odd though. Looks rather sterile without one.[/font]
Selene Shri Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 [font="Tahoma"]I wish Wet Paint was Pink instead of Orange. XD So I'm using Basic for now. ^^[/font]
CaNz Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) I switched to basic just for fun. but i would definitely switch back if i hear Wet Paint changes to pink. changing the skin is just so easy; i love it! Edited August 9, 2010 by CaNz
