Just basically put up a "version 2" header to the theme to add a little color to the top of the it and make it slightly less bland. Gives the theme a small face lift that hopefully its users will enjoy.

Feel free to leave feedback on what you think of it and I hope it is a welcomed change. ^^

Well, I don't usually use the Dreamcaster skin myself, but I've just flicked over now and I've got to say that I approve of the change. It looks good. :D

... and that's really all that I can say about that. xP

I approve.
I mean this actually looks all lively and colourful. Liking the effects used as well. And it's blending just perfectly with the skin.
Well that's all about I can say about it. May even consider using it a while. :)

I actually must confess to really liking this skin, it isn't like me to enjoy grey skins too much because I feel them to be too boring but this one is actually quite interesting and isn't painful on the eyes.

I also agree with DF it all merges really well and looks gorgeous.

Touch Shadow Blade and you die :P I'm not too keen on the psychedelic colours going on there, doesn't feel very Dreamcasty - but a welcome injection indeed.

The only thing I have never understood about the skins on here is why does the "fast reply" section ALWAYS have some image in the middle? I always find with the default skin that once I start writing a lot and the middle section becomes difficult to see what I am writing. I know that's a silly complaint but on the DreamCast one red on top of grey is fine but red on top of a red dream cast logo is not so fine.

That's a good point MoD it's very minimal dream cast related apart from the logo and buttons about but the skin does seem revived some what.

The font used in the title is the same as the original Dreamcast, I just wanted to spruce it up, and the only reason I thought about it is because I created the original header awhile ago.. so being the forever unsatisfied artist I am.. I wanted to upgrade it.

And don't worry BlackHogBlade is safe. |D

Do you have an extremely low contrast monitor or something? It should not be hard to read as it is very faint(on the default skin). I see what you mean on the DC skin though.

I just switched and the logo is fine except that it gets very dark at the top which makes it not blend into the skin...

I can reduce the depth of the shadow at the top to be more in line with the rest of the skin, s' not too hard to lower some opacity settings.

No I have a really hi-res monitor to be honest Metallix it just sort of annoys me writing atop a picture I guess. That's my only gripe with all the skins that the reply boxes aren't just the skins colour.
