Ok, I'll offer an idea Maybe as an alternative to a black background we could use a subdued very pale colour which would complement the green but which would definitely sit in the background still - a tint with just a touch of colour though, very sheer, perhaps based on palest warm toned blue/grey. I believe that would would support the main green colour but would also be quite striking in contrast to it .

hey - does anyone want to offer a bit of feedback?
its a new skin - i dont know what else to do to it, i dont know if it looks right...Its called NOT DONE, you can access it by clicking your profile and then modify profile...scroll down and choose a forum skin its in there.
Dont worry you can change it back to the normal skin afterwards...

wow, that is dramatic!
I've always liked the the black background for text, but perhaps its a little heavy for the background as well? What about leaving all the title bars colours, text colours and text background (love the blues!), and just change the main background (the one that was green before) into a colour - perhaps another darker blue shade? Or grey blue?
I like the way the banner image merges into the black, but if you choose a background Icolour I can merge it into that as well!

oh, and just one thing, it might be just me but I find the text a little smaller and maybe harder to read - its not white anymore is it?

The text is definitely easier to read! I'm not sure about the background colour, it looks okay to me! I guess you could see how lighter looks, but I think its fine. I think I prefer the colour to the black, it some how makes the board a little lighter in tone... this is hard! (and you are doing a great job )

haha - wouldnt say im doing a good job - it took me a few hours to get the other background that way haha!
and yea its hard....i'll record the colour number (the one thats there now..) ill look for a light colour try that and see....
oh and the fonts, the other one was smaller but it wasnt because of the colour hehe, it was because of the font - I CAN CHANGE THEM according to their order i put in - did not know that hahah

aah - that makes sense! Its looking pretty good, it will be good to hear some other opinions on it too! *hint hint* I was thinking it would be nice if the banner stretched the full width of that box up the top... that can be done if you like, but it needs to be done in the same scary manner as adding smileys (that you did really well!). If you want to give it a go, give me a yell and I'll give you the codes

OK! You want to try the scary codes now or later? And...if I can be picky...I preferred the grey/blue to this more primary one *is becoming a control freak*

ok, bear with me, we will need a couple of goes at this - its trial and error a little!
In admin, go to Headers and Footers, then select GLOBAL HEADERS AND FOOTERS from the drop down.
In the white box marked Headers, paste all the script here below, and paste it as the very FIRST thing in the box (if there is other stuff there, make sure its above it:
<script> document.write("<div id='welcometable'></div>") var wTable = document.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[0] wTable.parentNode.removeChild(wTable) wTable.style.marginTop="20px" document.body.replaceChild(wTable,document.getElementById('welcometable')) </script>
then save and we will have a looksy ;D
