I, personally, am a big fan of Grind My Gears.

I only have the plain purpleish. How do I change it?

I have never strayed from the Expresso Yourself version~

Ace, there's a drop-down menu right at the bottom-left of the page that lets you select a different skin. Or you can edit it in options ofc.

I always preferred the Default layout cause I'm boring.

But now for some strange reason, the layout doesn't work for me anymore? I don't know, and some of the other layouts aren't working for me all that well either. So now I'm currently using Into Darkness, which…well, it hurts my eyes a lot actually @_@ But I'll get used to it.

I have to say, Expresso Yourself is my second fave. A close one, too

I don't know if it's the skin I'm using but sometimes the drop-down menus won't work and stuff. I have to wait like... 10 minutes for the page until it fully loads and then everything goes to normal.

I'm too stubborn to test the other skins though. Brown and mint green is just too yummy~

Well, I have to agree with Necella, but not because I'm boring. I just never knew there was anything else, so it's all alien to me. But I did like expresso yourself. It reminded me of old 70's wood paneling.

I have the drop down menu problem, too, but I figured it was because I'm always on an iPhone and it's über slow.

Default, but only because I think it's canon and I'm weird like that.

To be absolutely honest, none of them. I mean, the default one is okay, but sort of a second-rate version of the reaaaaaally, rich dark purple default skin of the zetaboard site. The others, I absolutely hate. Anymore than five seconds on the pink one would probably burn out my retinas.

That's the exact problem I'm having! Glad I'm not the only one. I kinda hope the issue gets fixed soon because I would love to go back to the Default layout. XD

I like Grind my Gears personally. The only real problem I have is when newbies log on and it my eyes get ripped to shreds whe I try to read names. I have to highlight them to read the names. Though that's what I get for trying to read bright yellow on a white background.

Default, because I feel uncomfortable and like I'm missing out on something on any other skin.

I use the default because it works better for me and things look sharper. I would prefer to use walking on sunshine, but it's too damn bright no matter how I adjust my screen brightness.

Default, Expresso Yourself or Into Darkness are a few of my favorites. The others are way too bright for me.

Well I kinda like the blue one, but I usually stick with the default.

Espresso Yourself is my favorite. The browns and greens are warm and cozy, and it makes RPA feel more like home. (:

To be complelty honest, i didn't know we could change skins untill today XD
I have the into the darkness set right now, its the only one i really like.

Into the Darkness was neat-o and so was the orange one, but like... >.>

The default is just.. RPA. XD so I have a hard time adjusting to the other ones... I mean... these were the colors on the old one that I frequented a lot, so it's just hard to switch to something else XD

I wish with all my heart that I could get used to something other than the default but RPA just looks wrong if its not all grey and orange. XD

Into Darkness, I also like RPA dark but some of the things don't really work on it.

I use the coffee shop one, and honestly, I've gotten so used to it, I forgot there were other options.

I use the vbulletin skin...sad huh! but I like the light gray/blues it has.. it's easier on the eyes with these horrid work lights at my desk. when I do switch.. it's the tangled up in Blue one. Believe it or not, we are trying to get some new ones, and to add more choices!

Default for a couple of reasons:

1. I never knew there were other skins.
2. The others can be difficult to read at times. Too much or too little contrast.
3. Default seems tidy and easier to read. White on grey looks fantastic and is easy on the eyes.
4. You get the awesome user-made banner in Default!

Just some tips for skin developers. Be careful of the colours you use for text and backgrounds. You want contrast, but not too much contrast. For example, instead of black writing on a white background, change the background to a light grey or blue, or change the writing to a dark shade of grey. It looks neat and professional and is fantastic on the eyes.

I did not know there were different skins! ...But, now looking into the different themes, I have to honestly say, I like Anne's Delight. X3.

I too was unaware of the different skins. After an extensive trial and error process which lasted me one or two minutes I've decided that I like default the most.

I have changed my "favorite" skin to Anne's Delight for however long I can stand it-- I give myself 2 days before i go back to Gears

I've used "Espresso Yourself" since I joined. Very homey.

I've used the VBulletin one for so long now, the others seem weird...

I solidified my former response. Into Darkness is my all time favorite. I can't handle any of the others more than a few seconds.

I suppose I was a bit optimistic-- I'm back to Grind My Gears.

I have to get used to it, but the RPA dark is rather epic @_@

Isn't it though!? Love, love, love, love, love it!

Well first of it is stretching all over the screen and doesn't hurt my eyes much.

Some colors upset me, but I really like it.
