Getting one started here and want all your opinion on it.

Ok so what I have got from all of you is that you don't want a white/light skin. Needs to be darker, but not as dark as GMFS. Anything else?

Shaggy

Shaggy
05-24-2009, 08:43 PM
No I am saying the image logo, not the text. I am not using that text at all, which your right it is blah.

That might turn out looking kind of gaudy. (is that how you spell it??)

i think use images of members rides as the background and just make them transparent so its not too dark... then you can just change it up like every month....

you wanted the name "camo" on gmfs?
Rollin Thunder

I didnt feel like spelling camouflage on my iphone. I wanted my name colored camo. There was a thread on GMFS about the girls names being pink and I asked if mine could be camo colored.

You could always use a random image script. Make many banners/headers with members rides and very time you load the page you get a new header.Just a thought. I think it would look good with a medium colored skin, something in between a light & dark skin.

yea its better than i thought originally, but i still think a custom skin would really class this place up.
Timmy

oh, of course, but i would still like this to be left in teh drop down box. it looks more like outlook. haha
