I quite like the blue one...

It was listed under the name 'Black' and it appeared black until I previewed it so dont know if they are starting to add new ones or whether it was a mistake that was never fixed.

The pink one has little ice cream cones on it I think..lol

BTW...Don't know how true it is but heard MSN may close before the end of the month so I'd advise moving as quick as poss just in case.

I would say the pink is my fave. As well as likeing the colour, it looks clear to read.

The other two I've chosen are nice too. I think the others are a bit wishy washy!

Personally I like the pink but it may be a bit girly, the blue a bit boysy. I don't like green so I think flowers in blossom is more fitting to cover everyone.

I quite like this one. It reminds me of the Jetty near the sea gypsy village here..

 
Blue for boys and pink for girls doesn't exist here btw.

As you can see I added the 'secret' skin

It doesnt show in the options...I just accidentally 'happened' upon it..lol

What do you think or what about the ones I posted earlier?

Just to give you an idea...There are 125 different setting for the FONT ALONE!...colour/size/style etc in all different areas of this and the other pages...

Each little cell has its own settings and thats without the background colours  and obviously the scrollbar the graphics and gizmos etc...etc...lol

Its a major job changing it..But I don't mind once everyone has decided which one they want.

Well...I would have originally chosen this skin had it been available..(it was, it was just secretly hidden away under another skin)

I changed it (temporarily) last night, following requests...Quite liked it.

Not too bad this morning...

Half an hour later...I hate it...

Feels...I cant explain it...Kinda cheap and nasty...Like i'm in a fish and chip shop or something..lol

 

Hurry up and tell me what one you want to try next..lol

Yeah I'm in love with this setting Liz

The "actions" drop-down for messages needs changing colour (it's black text and black background until highlighted)

I like the snazzy "Welcome" graphic too.. I feel like a guest on the Late Night Letterman show

I'm happy with this one to be honest Lizbeth.

I'm not big on florals either.

Any chance you could post a picture of one of these vibrant Canadian fish & chip shops in here? I'm intrigued! ;-)

The flowery one looks like wall paper. I don't like it very much at all.

The pink now i've seen it in use looks like the decoration for a baby's bedroom. The blue here at the moment's good. The green along the side is nasty smiley2!

Thanks for the input...keep it coming...

Changing the green consists of a several different settings that need changing, (one for the arrws...one for the background, one for the bar, one for the highlight colour, some for the font...etc etc so Its not going to change until I decide on a 'final' background.

I am still not 'liking' this blue one.

I love the picture...Great as a screensaver....It's just not sorking for me to be 'comfy and cozy' and settle in to work  in here.

Keep in mind, when I first enterd aimoo, I had no idea what I was doing and 'built' the original pages with very little knowledge...Once you have changed a few hundred settings, its hard to go back and start again....Thats why that ended up for Opening day...

I had limited resources and no knowledge..

Now, however, I can conquer the world and will probably 'build' my own skin, using input of colours etc.

All jokes aside. The fish&chips adds a quirky note to the group.

Liz. I understand where you are coming from with the green bar at the side. Ignore me, and i'll not make comments lol!

The effort that is being put into this group is fab. If it was black and white I don't think it would keep us away. You do what you feel happy with, it's all coming together now.

lol thanks

Yes I'm with Aly, I think the fish and chips is quite comical but if, as she says, you're not happy with it do what you will. It's the contents that is the most important bit afterall.

Squawwwwkkkkkk!!!!

 What an awful orrible Blue, its vicious ,its common, and its hard on the eyes.It does not have enough class for group like ours.

  Lets have a more gentle and relaxing colour(notice the spelling OSMO no common north american crap) A pale shade of Mauve would be nice

   But I do like the chippy sign Pity you cant make it real authentic and have numberd dishes like real chinese chippys do

Ahhh, but in the Isle of Man most of our chippies now seem to be owned by Chinese.  Doesn't make them any better though.  The F&C I mean.
