 Posted: Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:00 pm Post subject: New Skin, and YWS Is Back Online; April 15, 2006 |
 |
|
I took the site down for two reasons:
1. I was really getting tired of people whining
2. I decided to keep YWS down until the dark skin was ready
The dark skin, known as YWS Inverted Blue and designed by Bobo, is now ready. It's a great looking skin, and best of all, since it's still YWS Standard, I don't have to worry about making changes to different templates anymore (although it took some trickery to get it to work)!
Thanks to Bobo, we now have a dark skin, and more are on the way (he's working on orange now). And if I hear one person complain that [insert color here] isn't available, I'm going to whack them over the head with a bowling pin 
Yay! |

Yay! The dark theme looks a lot more spiffy anyway, compared to the other dark theme. Still... *huggles standard*
Anyway, that click the red button thing was absolutely awesome, so pointers for you on finding that!  |

| If I hear you complain that a certain color isn't there, though, I'll direct you to this thread, where you can tell me what colors you want and I'll make them! |

The site is back ... my life resumes. Just kidding ... right?
Wow ... the dark skin ... is great. Well done Bobo and Nate! I don't know whether to be dark or light anymore, but I guess the choice is a good thing Really well done. Guess it will depend on my mood. Right now it's black. Clue to anybody?
Oh, PS - VIPs are still only bolded (might wanna make them purple again) and I'm not orange (I'm gonna bug you about this until you knock me out with something) |

Awh, Jack. : ( I didn't know what to do with myself when the site was down. It was pretty pathetic. Ha!
Much applause to the both Nate and Bobo. The new skin looks great! -Wags eyebrows-
(And I'm with Snoink -- loved the red button thing, and showed it to my family. Their facial expressions ranged from confusion and amusement, and a little in between. Hah!) |

Just added a lot more colors that Bobo designed!
Some quirky things going on though that I'm too tired to figure out right now... (1) YWS Lime is instead YWS Orange, (2) YWS Orange doesn't really show up as an option, (3) random little things.
I'll figure it all out tomorrow... |

I'm loving YWS Inverted. I'm currently the only person using Inverted Grey (I feel special).
I've come accross the red button thing before. But being the sad person I am, I ran through it all again (twice) instead of doing my coursework. |

| Everything should be working fine now. If you experience problems, let Bobo or myself know. Depending on what the problem is, it'll be one of us who will need to fix it, but Bobo and I can figure that part out. |
