Rob Veteran Posted October 23, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2006 Graphite is indeed very sexy. Got to give the credit to Timan for that, he's been Tsar of the Pixels recently.

ToneKnee Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 For some reason with Firefox 2 RC3, when I clear my cache and select Graphite, it still goes to the standard blue one? I keep selecting the option and it's not changing! :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/505950-neowin-shift-pr8-member-changelog/#findComment-587980928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+StevoFC MVC Posted October 23, 2006 MVC Share Posted October 23, 2006 Okay, Shift Graphite is very sexy... :drool: It's Neosexy. <image snipped> the blue and red just seem way too bright compared to the rest of the theme. i think they should be desaturated a bit just so it fits in better with the rest of the layout.

Jon 5 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Graphite does look quite nice but I agree about the red and blue being a little too bright for it.

Timan Veteran Posted October 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 24, 2006 When will the forums be updated too? :) I don't want to put doubts in peoples heads, but don't expect anything soon relating the forum getting a new "skin". Already spending quite some time on re-doing swift for the new IPB2.2 which brings a bunch of crap and bloat :p hehe.

moogoat Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Sorry if this is a really obvious question, but how do I use this? I had it on for a while, but then I clicked the "Use old style" link by accident, and now I have no idea how to go back!

chopyaedoff Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I found a bug: Change the skin using this link - https://www.neowin.net/index.php?theme=43 then try changing the skin to another one - it doesn't work and https://www.neowin.net/index.php?theme=43 remains in the address bar.
