I think it does go well together. I like it.

I see it as no worse than Red on Red. Besides, the title bars with the gradients should stand out in some way. I could make both bars the same color but then we'd be back to the whole 'non-original' thing, which is what we wanted to get away from. The only problem is I may be seeing this quite differently than some of you depending on monitor setup etc. So...this could be very tricky.

I think we're already being original by not having a back background covered by white text, but the red/orange thing is like if you put on an orange shirt, gray pants, and red sneakers. It just doesn't work.

That's pretty damn good - besides the blinding white newsfader/buttons. And if the colors would altered a tiny bit to make it original, we could pass it off as our own. =]

I think it would be kinda cool to have the actual chat on the front page.

The whole thing is blinding. I could go round and round about how it looks like every other proboard's skin (huge and square with bright colors whether they be green, red, yellow, or whatever, and with black thrown in) but I won't. I could alter the gradient if it truly is that glaring, however I don't think we'll get anywhere. Let's just say if the avatar script was too much to implement, this will never happen.

I don't think we really need a chat box as it does clutter things up. I've also found that feds with them seem to lose the look of OOC activity (I know it happened in ECF). As far as that skin I believe it's a good version similar to the Black n Blue one we have at present.

We'd just put stupid things in the Chat Box. I know I would.

I absolutely hate that background thing, I think it needs to be a solid color. I feel that feels very cheesy and amateurish while Red Zone is sleek, good looking, and very nice. not like some loser who just made a forum <_<. I dunno. It feels more "inclusive" it feels more of a community <_< That feels more like an impersonal weird forum. I feel sucked up into the ACW world under Red Zone. Its perfect

I would rather have a graphic as the background than a solid colour. A solid colour is just so boring. Also for what it's worth, I actually really hate Red Zone as a skin. I reckon it's well crap.

You can make it scrollable. You'd either have to make it much bigger than anyone will see to avoid it repeating (however this could increase the time it takes to see the page which would be a bad thing) or you could try and make it a repeatable picture (without obvious lines where it repeats to avoid it looking horrible). Anyway, since the two most liked skins on here seem to be Red Zone and Aqua Jet, I figured I would try to combine them in some way, along with some other changes I hadn't seen other places. After adding the Red, I do agree that my other one was way too gray Freeman =D.
