Came back after a year

So, having finished my AS exams and needing something to do over the summer, I decided to get back into theming and designing.

Came back to IF and realised I had a new frontier to cross; ZetaBoards. Hence, I decided to try and "theme" it, as a lot of people are putting it nowadays.

Skin 1
This skin was originally intended for personal use, but I decided upon not actually making this forum because I really didn't want to undergo the hassle. Decided to stay active at a friend's forum instead.

Skin 2
I pretty much just used a colour overlay to change the colour of this after it was completed as a grey (and rather dull) theme. I realise that tbe brightness of the bevel lines on the gradient are far too sharp and I need to change that prior to coding, but at the moment I've finished the graphical parts that I need to do.

Normally with my themes, I aim for usability over style, which I mostly aim to do. So if you could point me towards usability and graphical perfection, 'twould be much appretiated. ^_^

They're both great. The first one is a bit simple, but overall, very nice.

I really like them both. ^_^
I love the simplicity of the first one- nice and sleek.
The second one is pretty interesting! I like your choice of colours. =]

(Just noticed the "Ban Connor" bit. :P)

Nice job! :D

Welcome back, Kintesh. :) Long time no see. :P

Anyways, onto the designs. The first one I feel would be a more usable if you incorporated a bit more blue into it, maybe with some simple borders? It's very simple and looks pretty good otherwise, though.

As for the second one, this is my favorite of the two. I love the designs you added to the h2/maintitle. If I were to make a gaming board, I'd probably have a look at this. :D

Welcome back man, long time no see.

As for the skins, they are a bit wide. Quite nice though, the second one is really nice.

Welcome back Kintesh, its been a long time since the text Skype conversation we had with Mark and Connor. :P As said on Advertisement Utopia; Looks ok, a bit flat and a bit generic. Make it more exciting. :) Use different shapes, gloss and bevels.

Yeah, I thought of that too and I made a second version. :unsure: Clickietym. :P

Thanks for the feedback. Oh and Jago, I'm using a widescreen so my resolution is... bigger. :sigh:

Both are very nice. I like the simple design of the first one. The only comment I have would be on the second theme. I'm not fond of the yellow grunge/brush on the right side of the maintitle. :)

The first one needs to have it's light gray text and borders darkened a bit. :)

The second one seems too monotone, trying adding some teal tones in there.

I don't really have much to say about the first one. :P
