Preview I tentatively named the skin "Grey Rush" but nothing's really official with this one. What I'd like is to see if anyone can give me a few tips regarding the design I choose, This is my very first attempt at a skin and I have almost zero experience in CSS and HTML editing so I do ask that you all go easy to an extent but don't feel restrained to give me criticism that you think may be helpful. I did this for the most part based on Nicola's tutorial ![]() And all things considered I wouldn't been able to do a thing without it. I used Dreamwear as a catalyst tool for filtering out a few cosmetic errors, and it lets me see what I am editing directly as I change it. This skin I understand need TONS of reworking, I've spotted a number of issues within the posts and other areas which I'm certain more experienced skinners will notice on the fly. Like I said though as a first I'd like some first impressions if possible. |

This is very nice for a first theme - good job! ![]() My first impressions are mixed, though. Your graphics are fairly nice, though the bland grayscale color scheme seems somewhat boring - a dash of color in some areas such as links, h2, etc. would be nice. Other than the defaults though, this theme is pretty nice. ![]() If you need help with anything specifically, feel free to ask in this topic, or create a topic in Theme Support and we'll definitely help you out however we can!

Much appreciated... Graphics is more or less my niche, I could make the images it's just the CSS and sorting through it, and what parts I'm editing which are difficult for me because I can't really see what I'm doing in real time. So it's difficult at the moment for me to really match up all the design colors and such, in this case I stuck with the monotone look to keep it easy on the eyes. I actually want to a bit more of a complex theme which uses a very specific design type but I haven't figured out how to properly implement it based on Nicolas tutorial. This was from an earlier attempt on one of the category headers: |
