Pea, I ran into this same speedpoop last year. There are WAY more colors available to you than the ones in the dropdown menu in the section of the board that you are tinkering with. Look up the HEX color index: www.johncfish.com/bggallery/otherchart/index.htmYou have all those to work with. I wouldn't change ANYTHING except for, yeah, some of the forum index hyperlink colors. It looks really fucking fantastic, and really shows just how much of an eyesore that blue thing I made was.

Can you keep the 2012 skin as an option??

...what that is going to entail is typing in the corresponding HEX code, as opposed to just selecting the color from the spectrum in the forum's dashboard.

Right. What HG said. I know you use Photoshop, Pea. When you eyedrop over a screenshot of the Sasquatch website it will give you a "#" and then a collection of numbers and letters. That is the HEX Code. Then you just have to copy and paste it where you want it to get a better match.

I would reccomend using these HEX codes as a starting point based on the look and match you are trying to achieve:
5d3419 171a15 bb8c41 8a522f bf8842 885629 ffffff (white) 000000 (black)

I really like it so far Pea.
My only request would be to see if you can make one more line of the little Sasquatch guys on the right hand side of the background. They mostly get covered by the body of the threads and the ads, so I can barely see them (on my iPad at least) as it is but it still bugs me that it's just a band of grey on the right and a partial arm on the left. It seems uneven. Plus, I think they're cute and want to see them more.

Fucking SWEET. I'm very familiar with HEX codes. I just wasn't aware you could use ones outside of the ones Proboards provides. I'm going to make some coffee and breakfast and get back to this in a bit.
How about that new background though?!?!? oooooooh!

Oh, now I see you've completely changed the background! bastard This one's good too (and more evenly spaced).

Ya, I'm super stoked on this. The fact that you're still tweaking it has me excited for the final product because it already looks amazing.

I'm sure it will be a lot better.

The black text is much easier to read on this lighter background.

*when all the posts had the lighter background.

I think we have our finished product!
I'm going to go ahead and switch this over to the default settings. If you preferred the 2012 style, I'll see if I can make that an alternate scheme.
