First of all, I think you should put the codes for the skin between QUOTE tags: (you will find the code for it below )Spoiler: click to toggle Now let's talk about your skin! It doesn't look bad for a second skin, however, there's still a lot of room for improvement. If you don't mind, I will comment on some aspects on this skin so you will be able to improve them next time you make a skin. When I first looked at the skin, I noticed that blue background that repeats all over the skin. Those repeatable backgrounds generally don't look nice in skins. You should try using a constant background that does not repeat, might sound dumb but they look much much better and they don't make the skin look clumsy! Let's move to the maintitle! You got a nice effect on it and it seems to match the feeling of the skin. I suggest darkening the maintitle text since it's literally impossible to read it at the moment. A darker shade of blue or maybe a black colour would do the job just fine. The titlemedium, the userlinks, pformstrip and darkrow2 seems to not match the skin at all. That gray-ish gradient you've used seems really out of place in the middle of all those aquatic blues. I suggest using a shade of blue similar to those in the maintitle. Moving to the row4 and row2. Those are in a very dark blue, compared to the other blues. They really stick out from the rest of the forum. While sticking out is good sometimes, this is not the case. A lighter shad eof blue would look much much better. Well, I guess that's all. I hope that helps you at least a little bit! Remembe,r the skin is not bad, eh?! Keep it up! |

^^ I had to fight wit hthe bars for a while. >> I don't like the grey bars either... << the person I made the skin for loved them. >> ... so i couldn't take them out... and photobucket sizes down the pictures i upload for the background. Is there a way to put a 3000 by 2101 pixel picture on photobucket without it turning it into a 800 by 400 pixel pic? |

Try changing the blue bar ( or maintitle ) to a gradient. Also try changing the main background. In the submenu, try getting a darker color. Not bad for your second.

What he's trying to say is that he would recommend you change the .maintitle background image to a gradient. He's also suggesting that you should change the main background image/color to something else. In my opinion I would recommend removing the background image all together, as it's very repetitive and it makes it so you can't really find the maintitle unless you look hard for it. |
