Yes, I finally made that new skin you've been asking for. It's pretty much copied from <a href='http://www.doomworld.com/' target='_blank'>Doomworld</a>'s forum. It's darker, just like you asked. It does look sort of crappy with the grey background icons, but tell me if you guys approve before I do anything else. To change, go into your controls, click Skins and Languages, and choose "Doomworld - DC". <br><br>Hope you like!

I do like the darker colors (when I get on when I first wake up for school at 5:15 AM and my eyes haven't adjusted yet, dark colors are my friends). It's pretty good, except I think it may be too dark for me; it's hard to distinguish blocks, bars, and tables. Everything's uber-dark. I guess it's not 100% what I wanted, but it's still cool, and I appriciate your making the skin, 5hfifty. Thanks!

Ironically, I don't see anything different on my home computer since CSS is turned off here. I've had problems viewing the page using this old copy of Netscape 4.76 (the last browser-only version made before Netscape Communicator appeared.) No worries, though. The solid "Windows standard" grey is actually quite comfortable in high and low light, at the cost of being stylisticly colorblind.

yeah, that is a good skin. I'll be ssticking with the blue, though, since i'm use to it.

I sometimes prefer dark skins, but dark skins can give it a 'dark' feel, so I'm going to stick with the default.<br><br>And there is the issue of the buttons and things looking a bit ugly on it, as they don't have transparency.

Despite the little errors on such places such as the Help - Calender icons under the banner and the smilie previews when posting, the new skin is very good, probably because i'm in need of a change.
