Colour change?

As I said, it's bad for you not to change it, but it can't be helped because the dark skin is there and people will use it, and removing it would be out of the question. The only idea that just opped into my head could be, perhaps, changing the colour of the back of the username area (behind the text, not the whole bar including Join Date etc) to a very pale grey or perhaps just a slightly lighter grey than on the dark skin. That could work :/

That's definitely an idea to ponder for when we rework the skin but currently our boyos are working overtime on skins so I will put this on the backburner. I guess its relatively simple but I can't say, I'm not a skinner, it may be as easy as changing one hex code in the code, but they may have to redo images to go with it and all.

I could do it in 5 seconds :P I've been playing around with a skin on a forum I'm an admin for. In FireFox, you highlight the area and look for the div=class or id and look for the name of it in the skinning section and change any background colours that match the current one, then change it to a more suitable one :P

In the case of vB, it would be under a name="alt2" but I've never used a vB skinning tool, but I'd imagine it won't take more than a few seconds with firefox search and selection tools.

Has some one changed the colour come to think of it? It looks a bit light :S
