I suck at making skins, so I am reaching out to my members to help me make a new skin.
The current default skin is a template, and while it has done an awesome job of getting Shattered Dreams its first members, I feel that we need our own beautiful skin, one that no other forum uses. Unfortunately, like I said above, I suck at making skins. It is my firm belief that my horrible skins is what caused my former sites to fail, something I do not want to happen to this one.
So here's how you can hellp. Create a skin for me complete with images, codes, and whatever you think will hellp it to look cool. PM the skin to me, and in a few weeks, I will select the top three and make a poll for all of the members to vote on.
The skin can look like anything you think will make the site look cool. Anything at all, as long as it looks like it vaguely represents Shattered Dreams, so no puppies or dump trucks please.
How do I make a skin?
Well, if you're new to Proboards, you probably don't want to take part in actually making a new skin because it requires a knowledge of coding and graphics and just general admin functions. But maybe you just want to try,
First of all, you need to make a test board. It'd be a Proboards just like this one, but it would only be used to make a skin and probably no one would join it. It's just to show me and the members what the skin would look like.
Next, you would start customizing the default skin, changing the colors, adding images, putting in codes, and so on.
Once you're all done making the skin look all pretty, just PM me the link to the test board. I will look at it, decide whether or not I like it, and eitheer put it in the top three or not.
There you go. It's that easy. All skins must be sent to me by the 31st of October. Have fun making your skins. If you have any questions, please post them below.
