Need suggestions about a new skin
Hello guys,
I'm changing my skin because i have upgraded to vb 3.5.4 .
I recently saw a thread of Adam asking for opinions in his new skin and there were some great replies.
I have just finished a skin for my forum so i though it would be a good idea to share it with you and see if i can change something to improve it before coding it.

Here is a preview.
Please let me know about anything you like dislike or you think that can be improved.

I'm not very happy with the logo.

Feedback is really appreciated.
Thanks.
Gaston

Well I think it's really nice, the only thing that bothers me is the font. What are you using, Arial? The font seems to be a little bit choppy and unsmooth, though it may just be the screenshot causing that.

Lookin good, Gaston. I like the second footer the best. The links under it, though, don't look right - they are off centered and the text for "Referral Statistics" is just so long...it kind of throws everything off.

The navigation aligned to the right seems strange to me...I'm not sure if it would look better at the left or centered, but it does look strange over there. The logo could use some work, yes, but a skin can be coded without a logo.

I do want to say that your forum bits look a LOT like the Element skin at vBStyles - http://www.vbstyles.com/forum/?styleid=135 ...the forum icons are even identical. I just want to be sure that you're aware of this so you don't get in any trouble with it.

I'm using Verdana, it looks ok here, maybe you'r not viewing the screnshot at 100%?.
Thanks for the comments

I'll center the links in the bottom in the coding phase, what do you suggest to replace the "referral statistics" text?

I know, i'm using them for the screenshots of this "beta" version, i'm going to make my own ones.

Any other suggestions are welcome!

Thanks, thanks so much.
I was using post fusion before the update i need to install it again.
Will do it soon, i haven't got a lot of time to post in other people forums right now, that's the main problem.
