Forum Skins

Is there any way to get some new skins for those who may want to switch up? I heard a dark background uses a lot less energy, monitor-wise, plus it's easy on the eyes...maybe a black and gray thing.

Thanks.

I disagree, I think they should leave it set at these colors so that everyone has a little bit of Penn State influence on them each time they come here

Opera -> Author Mode -> Apply High Contrast W/B mode

Using Opera, you can create your own CSS if desired for even more customization of rendered content.

you can use css customization for IE, FF and opera

Firefox

Find your Firefox profile folder. The location of the profile differs between OS’s, but excellent directions for finding the profile folder are on Mozilla’s support site.
In the chrome subdirectory, there should be a file called userContent-example.css. Rename it to userContent.css and edit it using your text editor.*
Save userContent.css and restart Firefox.

Internet Explorer

Create a CSS file in a convenient location using your text editor.*
Select the Tools menu, select Internet Options, select the General tab and then select the Accessibility button.
Under User Style Sheet, check Format documents using my style sheet.
Select Browse and then select the CSS file you previously created.

Opera

Create a CSS file in a convenient location using your text editor.
Select the File menu, select Preferences and then select Page Style.
Next to My style sheet, select Choose and then select the CSS file you previously created.

of course thats not nearly as easy as using opera's basic features or building it into the site

Never mind, then.

Thanks.

"I heard a dark background uses a lot less energy, monitor-wise,"

That was true on CRTs, meaningless on an LCD.

Hehe, my vBulletin has many skins.

I like ID #2. Very cool, Xel.

Didn't know that, Samwich...but I do have a CRT. Thanks.

Although you can edit the CSS, it would still be nice to be able to just switch it up on the fly. It's quicker, and a nice option for those who may not know how to edit CSS. Just my 2¢...

lol, exactly. Honestly, I'd love the option of different colors, but in this case I'm not going to take the time to edit the CSS and decide what colors I would like to match with what.. Just give us a couple of schemes and we'll be as happy as can be
