Back to work on a few IPB 3.1.x Skins

Posted by Woodsman, 22 October 2010 · 354 views

Between the panic and anxiety attacks I managed to get a start on getting back to some skinning...
The Original to Ocean Front Property (OFP) Transtyle-1 was actually started back in version 2.2.x and took 6 months to figure out after seeing a website setup in this manor but using HTML rather than PHP.
  Since the Transtyle skins I did a few standard skins then backed off for a while, but the last few days I sort of found that burn to do the skins that you never see anywhere else but here...

  New to the list of skins in progress is the comeback of OFP along with a few others like Royal Blue, The Forest, Midnight Sun and one exclusive I am doing for a friend of mine and a fellow admin to this board called IPBH.

It has been a long time from IPB 2.0 to now with a bit of learning curve to what works and what don't with all the board versions as the add-ons, mods and now hooks cropping up. But nobody can say that the skinning community can't keep up to the challenges. There are many Good IPB Skinners in the field along with some pretty Great ones that seem to give the whole board a different sort of life of its own. I am not saying I am great I have way to much to learn but I do finally realize that I am as good as some and better then others when it comes to doing something I enjoy doing.

The IPBH Skin is still a very rough draft waitng on approval and or edits

These are all transparent skins with a fixed backgrounds where the images are or will be translucent as well...




The newest
After 4 years getting working on this.......

After 4 years working on this getting it right I finally think I have something worth showing...
I saw a website many years ago that looked similar and I had to figure out how it was done...
This is one of 5 skins I started and I am trying to complete all before the snow flies...

Mind you the chatter is not in the board or browser

It is the operator....
