Skin Design Contest Winners

Posted by Charles, 17 July 2009 · 402 views

Choosing a winner for our skin design contest was a challenging task as all submissions were excellent. Ultimately, we chose the winning skin based on ease of editing and overall usability for inclusion in the IPB3 distribution as an alternate skin. There were some great skins that we could not choose so we hope that all of you talented designers that submitted such amazing skins will continue your projects outside of the contest!

Third Place

Invision Smooth by Derek M.

Second Place

Thoreau by No1 1000

First Place

CleanCut by ehren.

CleanCut is on our company forums now for preview. Thank you again to all who participated!

What do these skins look like? And will they be a part of IPB 3?

Only the first place skin will be a default skin - those in 2nd and 3rd are free to decide for themselves what to do with their skins. CleanCut will appear in a later release of 3.x

VERY well done to Ehren! I love the skin, I love his skinning, and I think it absolutely fits the theme of IPB!

Very nice skin, and a great addition to IPB! I really like the colors, and the changes to the header and navigation are well done.

Hehe. I've got a moan (or 5).... :lol:

-- Status update box is missing from the hook
-- Loads of missing icons in Blog and Gallery
-- Tracker images are missing
-- IPS Blog header not showing
-- Topic view side-profile not correct

Yeah, it does need to be updated to 3.0.1. I believe once the new author_info classes are added it should fix up the topic view.

I have one suggestion. I did a little comparaison on a slow computer. The default theme on IP.Board is very smooth when scrolling, CleanCut is lagging very much.

Congrats to the winners!

Haha, I just noticed: CleanCut has a top button!
