Hi, web-hamsters!

When you've finished the turkey curry, turkey sandwiches, turkey risotto and turkey en croute, would you mind awfully giving some consideration to the idea of a skin or theme that is dark, as opposed to the light themes (big blue, classic and smiley) that are currently on offer?

Being able to change the font and font size would also be handy. But a dark theme would be super-duper.

Sounds nice to me too!

I'm not sure when we will get chance, but I really like the idea so I might even put in a bit of 'out of hours' time to make a dark version of one of the existing skins.

Also on my wish list of ideas is making a mobile friendly skin, but that will take quite a bit longer to do!

I might have a crack at this at some point. I made a new skin a while ago and was using it at work (dead snazzy with loads of gradients and stuff). Just reformatted though - d'oh!

Ooh! Yellow text on blue, please! And without the cellborders and 'indenting'- the Eee doesn't have enough screen to waste even a pixel!

Then, World Peace. hehe

Er, hello? It's a skin; you'd have a choice. Well, given your attitude, you wouldn't. wink

Black text on white is great on paper (reflected daylight), but it is very hard on the eyes on a display. Times New Bloody Roman isn't that great, either.

No, I agree it shouldn't be as boring as black on white, but, I'm imagining a really tasteful colour scheme. You're forgiven for thinking of blue and yellow first though - thats a bloke thing smile
