If anyone is interested in making skins, here are a few specifications to keep in mind.
1) The forum is set at a fixed width of 950px.
2) All current logo banners are 950px by 200px. Feel free to make another size, but keep in mind that narrower widths will have a background color (not the background image) showing around them.
3) Only 1% of internet users (not including mobile) now use a screen resolution smaller than 1024x768, which is the most used dimension world wide.
4) You will need hex codes (or at least color suggestions) for the following things:
~ Overall background
~ Table borders
~ Menu/Welcome bar background
~ Left forum column
~ Central & right forum columns
~ Mouse over row highlighting
~ Category title background
~ Category title text
~ Links
It's really best, aesthetically speaking, to keep it to around 4 colors (not including white or black).
To submit a skin, simply shoot me a PM with links to your background, logo banner and any other graphics, as well as your proposed color scheme. I'll try to review it as soon as possible.
Also, remember that just because there's already a skin in your chosen theme (i.e. Monster High) does not mean you can't make one! It's beyond easy to add a "#2" or name it something more specific like "Cleo's Day Out."
