Habboxed has arrived!

As we are all feeling the Christmas spirit we have decided to give you another forum skin that you can use throughout the year! We have named this skin "Habboxed" - We aren't very good with names but it some what suits the style of the skin.

Just go to the skin chooser at the bottom of the forum and then select "Habboxed".


If you are wondering why we have this skin then here's a little story being told by Morgan Freeman:



So yeah, we do not take credit for the creation of the skin apart from any changes we have made and obviously Mr. Elliot for buying it. We do hope you like the Non-Habbo skin - It can be made to be fixed/fluid like all the other skins via the User CP setting.




Due to the customisations, plugins and what ever else HabboxForum has then there may be some bugs here and there. Please do post them in the bug reports forum and hopefully we can get them resolved Asap. You can view the bug forum by visiting here (http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=7).

You can let us know what you think of the skin in Habbox Feedback.

Note: This isn't the second skin we promised. The next one should be based of V7 and that will be coming in 2013 hopefully.

I likey! I likey! Very well designed by whoever made it and I will be using this skin! :)

[FlyingJesus]

It's quite nice but it's no Site Skin 2010

[Rozi]

I like it! but I'm too stuck in my non-habbo light ways
glad to see habbox are moderning though xox

[David]

im not a fan, i'll stick with the dojo

[Martin]

I like it!! :D Will never stop using site skin 2010 though haha

The only bit I personally dislike is the title bit where it says habboxforum, but only because the font used is too posh for me lol

[Kasabian]

**** you guys, classic skin beats everything.

[HotelUser]

It reminds me of the old Ubuntu Forum skin which got Metro UI'd by Microsoft wherein they removed all the border radius.

That's not a bad thing though, I think it looks nice. I might use this on the iPad, but nothing beats the classic skin on my desktop :)

[Absently]

i really hate it :P

[Alex3213]

i really hate it :P

I was wondering if I was the only one. :P

I think it looks horrible but it's just because I prefer the complete opposite. Each to their own though and if others like it then it can't have been a bad thing to buy it :)

[Sloths]

I don't even know what it is that I don't like about it but it's just ew... Might suit others but I'm sticking to non habbo light

[David]

out of interest how much did it cost

[Samantha]

I find it a little plain I guess, really don't like how the 12 Viewing is in italics as you can hardly read it :(.

[xxMATTGxx]

I find it a little plain I guess, really don't like how the 12 Viewing is in italics as you can hardly read it :(.

Can read that just fine :P

[Jordan]

Not a fan of it sorry. The top bit is really messy imo :(

[mrwoooooooo]

i like it :D

can the what's new button go to activity stream instead of a forum search though

[Grig]

A bit tacky, but each to their own taste.

[xxMATTGxx]

Not a fan of it sorry. The top bit is really messy imo :(

When someone says messy, I think of loads of things all over the place and not organised. Not sure what you mean by messy though :P


i like it :D

It used to link to that, although we thought people would use "New Ports" more over the Activity Stream. We could always add both or add a link to that under quick links.

[David]

When someone says messy, I think of loads of things all over the place and not organised. Not sure what you mean by messy though :P

I wouldn't say messy, I'd say backwards. It's a bit weird when you first look at it cause most options are gone and what's left is at the other side of the page.

[sex]

oh my god i love it!! just one small thing, could the info the left post bit be centered like other skins! :P

[xxMATTGxx]

I wouldn't say messy, I'd say backwards. It's a bit weird when you first look at it cause most options are gone and what's left is at the other side of the page.

What you mean by options, you mean links to places such as Habbox Wiki, Habbox.com, Comps etc?

[Chris]

I love it, I think I'll be using it after Christmas!

Replace "Forum" with "Activity" because pressing forum takes you to index as does clicking the 3x larger logo :)

[David]

I guess so yeah lol. I don't use them and I'm not complaining I just thought "BUT WHERE ARE ALL THE BUTTONS?"
Imo it's a bit out of place having the logo at the left and all of the other relevant stuff at the right, If it were up to me I'd swap them.


Replace "Forum" with "Activity" because pressing forum takes you to index as does clicking the 3x larger logo :)

surprised you didnt ask for a sidebar

[Catchy]

The skins nice and clean but the banner is just horrific. Doesn't fit in with the skin, sorry to whoever created it.

[Kyle]

I'd use it if it wasn't so bright, it's really well laid out. Recoloured options plz?

[j0rd]

Been looking forward to this for days, can't wait to use it!

[xxMATTGxx]

They don't use the forum, they won't be offended.

There is other colours but it would mean the skin chooser menu would get even longer. So If people don't mind that, then we don't mind giving you the additional colours.

[David]

spoilers look a bit stupid tbh

Oh don't change the entire layout just for me, I'm perfectly content with non-habbo dark! The grey/orange parts are fine, I just can't handle the white background. :( Do you have previews of the other colours? Or are there too many to show

[David]

lol legit thought about that


[21:11:30] David: didnt there used to be an option to add a custom background?
[21:11:50] mattGARNER //: was removed
[21:11:56] David: why :(
[21:12:16] mattGARNER //: all user customizations were removed :P

Blue, Teal, Green, Lime, Golden, Orange, Red, Violet Red, Purple and Black & White

[geo]

i quite like it tbh, i'll probably use the dojo, but this isn't bad :P

[Kyle]

Blue, Teal, Green, Lime, Golden, Orange, Red, Violet Red, Purple and Black & White
Indigo, Scarlet, Maroon, Cyan, Burgundy, Aqua... I can name a bunch of colours too but without actually seeing them I can't judge what it'll look like!

Can't you just enable it so I can customise my background :( It's not like I want to put naked ladies on it or anything, I just want a tone that won't slowly erode my retinas :'(

---------- Post added 09-12-2012 at 10:12 PM ----------

Oh and since idk where to put this, I've found that on profiles the ABOUT ME section is about 28 miles down the page and the active colour of the buttons is blue as opposed to the black it seems should be there... idk tho.

[dbgtz]

Looks good, but I'll stick with classic :P

Imagine all of the orange bits changed to one of the colours I've mentioned. We could always bring the "do your own background" setting again I guess.

---------- Post added 09-12-2012 at 10:24 PM ----------

Wait hold on, when you say white background? Do you mean the background of the posts or the actual background image of the forum?
Kyle; David;

[Martin]

Ah, I remember the customised backgrounds haha. I remember changing Mikes background to "I love comps" or something LOL, was quite a nifty feature! some people did have pretty disturbing ones though, although if nobody else can see I don't know what the harm is really? Apart from some people making Habbox look like a porn site haha

actual background

[xxMATTGxx]

actual background

The actual background isn't white then. It's a very light grey - #F6F6F6. If it's showing up for white to people then I suggest looking at your monitor settings. Can you see the different between the background colour of this post to the background image? :P

[Lee]

OMG theres an option to close a thread on quick reply is that new?!

[xxMATTGxx]

Been there for a very long time. By the way, you closed the thread - Congrats.

[Lee]

I've never ever noticed that before :P

[David]

close the thread then lee its fine

http://icap.me/i/gM2Q4v0h1h.png


are you enabling the backgorund changer mett

[LiquidLuck.]

I guess it looks good, but like Tom said, site skin 2010 ftw. Although now I'm getting into the Christmas spirit with Christmas 2011. xD

[Red]

O I thought this was closed.
I really like it. I would probably prefer it in a different colour as I don't really like orange and make my background darker if it was enabled. Some things bugging me though. The fact my g's are being cut off. The fact the links are over to the right and activity stream is missing. And that your name and user title ain't centered above people's avs.

this.

There is a "New Posts" button on the second/lower navigation bar.

[Red]

New posts should link to new posts. Keep the link on the bar too though and add activity stream there.

[xxMATTGxx]

New posts should link to new posts. Keep the link on the bar too though and add activity stream there.

"What's New?" links to Activity Stream

New posts links to new posts.

[Red]

"What's New?" links to Activity Stream

New posts links to new posts.

But it should go to new posts as its used more than activity stream!!

[Kardan]

What a lovely skin! Finally a Habbox coloured skin without Habbo pictures all over the place!

[wixard]

i'm using it but it feels weird
i miss my non habbo dark

[Calvin]

Can we have the colour changer? I wouldn't mind using the blue one!

[Succubus]

I love it, the only bit I don't like is the orange, but it's fab otherwise :P
Will be using it from now on.

[mrwoooooooo]

No it isn't sthu!

Activity stream ftw

I'll talk to Mr Garner about providing a blue edition for people who hate orange and everything it represents. #ChatToMatt

[Andii]

its awful lol waaste of a skin haha =]

Haha it's a waste, omg. Fantastic feedback! It's a good job you aren't on a forum that forces one style down to all users and doesn't give anyone a choice as you would be screwed. Even if it's used by one user then it isn't a waste ;)

[Chippiewill]

The fixed width seems unnecessarily narrow, needs to be slightly more than 940px imo.

[Stephen]

orange is too bright for me but blue would probs look lovely

Lol I'm not forcing it on anyone I'm just saying it would have been nice if it had been different at least we have loads of other skins to choose from :) yay woop woop lol ;)

The post said that we're not forcing it upon you - you're welcome to your opinion but so far there is nothing constructive we can possibly take from your feedback to improve future skins.

um you could make it look nicer =] not so orange and white as them 2 colours do not clash or look good as they are both bright and basically in your face, maybe try blue as blue and white go together.

[HotelUser]

-facepalm image-

I thought your other post was quite rude although perhaps slightly warranted because Andy's remarks about the skin were about as unconstructive as putting whipped cream on a dinosaur, although later on he atleast attempted to make helpful suggestions at to improve the skin.

Is the facepalm image really necessary? C'mon Mr. General Manager, you can be nicer and more friendly than that :P

Depends if you class a facepalm as rude or not which I don't. It's just another internet meme at the end of the day.

Orange and white don't clash.

I know the two colours don't clash, I have eaten orange fudgesicles in my youth.

I think the photo was nice looking but probably better suited for elsewhere :P

Your safest bet is generally white and cream colors, which you can combine with orange without worry of the colors clashing or that your room will become too loud and bright. White helps to neutralize the strong, reactive presence that orange plays in a room. White also brings a sense of clean modernity and is easily matched to white accessories.

As aforementioned, orange fudgesicles (http://www.sodahead.com/fun/orange-creamsicle-or-fudgesicle/question-1471355/?link=ibaf&q=&imgurl=http://images.sodahead.com/polls/001471355/114288782_creamsicle_xlarge.jpeg), which also happen to be delicious although I've not had one in years.

The whole orange/white debate reminded me of Mirrors Edge too, we could have easily cranked it up to this level of brightness:

Very vibrant colours throughout the game, I think overall they look quite nice together.

[hamheyelliot]

Right, it's blue! Ruddy blue. No more orange discussions, ever.

[Jack!]

NO LOOK AT THE POOR LOGO.

NO BLUE.

[David]

@cameron (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=64841); chop chop make a logo (A)

[Chippiewill]

Right, it's blue! Ruddy blue. No more orange discussions, ever.

I did suggest this to Matt but it does seem the way the skin is coded it'd be no effort at all to add a colour changer to the footer. Also, Teal. Please.

[Rozi]

me likey in blue, im now using it

[mrwoooooooo]

bring back orange

[October]

why is this blue now
can't we pick the colors ourselves omg

[Grig]

Blue is so much better, it goes much better with the skin as a whole. I take back previous criticism, well done with the good change :P.

[Nick]

yay blue. I like the logo though, it gives a modern look imo

[Andii]

Told ye lads :) blue is wayyy better :) yay

[mrwoooooooo]

ah well, back to the dojo then

[Smurfed-]

I like it blue. :)

[mrwoooooooo]

change the name of it, anything habbox related should be orange ;]

[Lee]

I agree name it somethingmetro :D

[David]

competition to name it, Chris;?
5 months vip to me when i win

[DamienMarj]

This is a really pretty awesome skin, rather this then habbox classic.

I like the way this man thinks.

Nobody is renaming the skin, the name myself and Matt chose in 5 seconds is wonderful as it is.

Also, nobody wants a lawsuit from Mr. Gates right now.

Not that i use the HabboxLive player but all the images are broken at the bottom of the forum home.
Other than that nice skin!
