I don't know about others, but generally I like darker (ie, black) color bases - easier on the eyes.

If it was replaced I reckon people should be able to choose from several.

I totally agree. Darker colors are easier on the eyes. No white or yellow backgrounds. I actually saw a site with a yellow back ground with green text. It was horrible. I don't think the site is even around anymore though.

I think the brown has a nice classical

feel to it. Like a nice room with wooden

floors and nice classic wood dressers.

My skin is olive. Because I have italian in me baby!

You can delete this if you want........

I voted for how it is now, why change a good thing?

anything a little more interesting.... even slightly so would be nice. other then this cappucino brown colour....

I agree with bob_stole_my_cookie. I recently discovered the alternative themes at the bottom, and though not ideal, I think they are much better than the brown and cream. I voted blue. It's more lively and fun. Maybe not as professional, though, which is a necessary trait of a forum such as this.

Anyway, hope this helps.

the popOrange skin is funky but not very.... appropriate

I would like to second the darker choice! Its much easier and more elegant in my view. A Blue, Black, or nice Mahogony would be a nice touch

I think the popOrange skin (my, i love that capitalized O in the middle of the word) is very appropriate, well, at least for my own musical philosophy. :innocent:

Indeed, a darker skin would also be nice.

The popOrange skin uses non-standard HTML compared to the default skin so using it would be a right pain when doing upgrades and stuff. And although it does look quite nice, I agree with the comments about it not being entirely appropriate for this forum. We want something professional and serious looking (for the default skin at least).

I like dark colours too because they contribute to a feel of calmness. We will bear in mind the expressed preferences for darker shades.

I like the skin, but I think any of the colors will do. So my vote is any color. :innocent: :wacko:

i think a nice deep, rich purple could be nice, kinda like the music history forum but a little darker with more blue attributes

Just as long as the text is black on a light background. Light text on a dark background is bad. A nice, darker background may be nice, but I'd have to see to be sure.

so when can we expect a verdict?

I can't give an exact date but the answer is "some time in the future". We certainly won't be altering the skin currently in use because it would be a waste of effort in light of the fact that we are changing forum software at some point. So we will probably make any changes once we switch software.

That said, I'm not sure chopin is altogether keen on changing the theme. He wants us to remain looking as unique as possible. We'll see.
