    Default What makes a good vBulletin Skin?

    Ok So i'm coming back into the Skinning business, and to improve my skills i want to know, what kind of things you like to see in a vBulletin forum skin?

    Any tips will be considered And idea's for skins that may sell well are always welcome!

    Please dont post saying "nothing i can do it myself" My target audience is people who can't design/develope the skins themselves

    Thanks for any help in advance

    For the skin to be linked to the site layout as much as possible, eg. if the site uses blues then the forum skin uses blues instead of having a contrasting forum/site.

    Also, I like the skin to have something to do with the site name. eg. IceHabbo then it would be themed with lighter blues and related to ice or SummerHabbo then it to be greens and colourful etc.

    Advanced coding and lots of css so it looks totally different to other skins and looks advanced.
    The other day I was in a toilet.
    A voice came from the cubicle next to me: "Hello mate, how are you doing?"
    I didn't want to be rude, so I said, "Not too bad, thanks."
    I heard the voice again. "So, what are you up to?"
    Again I answered, "Just having a quick ****... How about yourself?"
    Then I heard him say "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some **** in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say."

    But ''advanced'' how does that look? What sort of things would an advanced skin contain?

    It must involve attractive colours. Simplicity & effectiveness is the main in my opinion. For example Habbox's Retro Blue Skin.
