Announcement: Default Forum Skin Change
Discussion
Some of you might have noticed a small change about the place today. It looks a little bit cleaner, a little bit brighter, substantially more blue.
In case you were not aware, PistonHeads allows you to choose from a small number of different skins for the forums via your "My Preferences" page. "Big Blue" has been one of the options on this list for many years, but today we took the step of making it the default skin.
We've made this change because we feel that "PH Classic" (the old skin) is starting to look a little dated and because "Big Blue" cures a few small bugs and adds a few small features.
Don't worry, if you are already a member then your setting will stay the same unless you change it manually. The only difference is that the forums will show in "big blue" when you are not logged in, and anyone who joins from now on will have "big blue" selected as their skin to begin with.
If you are an existing member who fancies giving it a try, or a new member who's joined just to post "What's going on?" then you can switch skins via your My Preferences page.
As always, we welcome your feedback and look forward to hearing what you think.

Just a quick question...
How hard would it be to make a skin, that looked like I dunno outlook or excel or something that I may be using during the course of my work day
It wouldn't have to be too accurate, just something that looks less like a forum and more like actual work?
Classic does very well for me at the moment, but I remember a thread saying we could take a lot of colours out and make it look more subtle, could there be an Office Camo skin?

Hmmm, im sure you could downlad something to make windows transparent? I'm sure that some programs allow this.
