Regarding the skins

[Julie]

Which do you prefer? A set width (like the michael skin), or like the new allison skin (the entire screen)?

[letia84]

I like the set width. Taking up the whole screen seems odd to me.

Ok it's not that I don't care, it's that I honestly don't know or can't tell the difference. I've been switching back and forth between the skins and I'm not seeing the difference. Is it me? Am I viewing a different thing or something? Am I crazy? Well, I might be but I don't think that should make a difference in how I view the skins.

I like set width better than the whole screen.

I like the set width also.

I honestly cannot tell the difference between the two, so I had to to go with the ignorant 'Don't Know' option.

BUT I would like to say that I adore this new Allison skin. I always liked the look of the Michael skin, but the problem was that it was set with light coloured writing on dark coloured background, which never makes for easy reading. So I switched a long time ago to the default skin.

And now I see how incredibly... pretty this new Allison skin is, AND it uses the exact same colour scheme as the default (which makes for easy legibility). Thanks for my pretty new skin... The default might have been pragmatic and easy to tolerate, but it was lacking in prettiness and personality. The Allison fits my needs absolutely perfectly

set width please. the allison one is too large for my screen, so in the close up bit, she's only got one eye... till i scroll over that is...

Thanks for the honest comments everyone! I'm guessing that those who don't see the difference is using a 800x600 screen resolution, and then there's not too much difference, because the Michael screen takes up almost the entire screen as it is.

I personally think the default skin was butt-ugly, but I can understand someone using it because it's simple and easy readable.

Yeah, I saw that too. I'm guessing you're using 800x600 as a screen resolution. I'll see if I can't fix that so it works for everyone

I voted that it doesn't matter one way or the other to me. I can see the difference but I don't have strong feelings on which I prefer. Like Sabrina, I'm just glad that the lovely new skin is a light one, as I've never been able to use all the dark skins, despite how nice they are (since I can't read with them). Thanks for all your work on the skins, Julie.

Skin making has a tendency to match my mood (like any other art one makes), and as you can see, life's been a bith But now is a new time, so I'll promise to try my best to make new light skins!

For those of you who remember the light fanfiction skin, did you like that?

For an example, if you had Style1 as your preferance, it would change to style2 when viewing the fanfiction forums (for easy reading). Those who remember, was that something nice, or annoying that it changed styles?
