Probably a few more later on... Spin Slash V1/2: Improved banner(Sonic has white outer glow and a higher quality image of Shadow) Characters on the main header have the outer glow now. Post background image on bottom right is now changed. Shadow Blade V1: Higher quality header. Changed the banner Angel Island: Changed the colors of links so they stand out more. Ice Cap: Higher quality banner Reworked the header to be more higher quality Background color now closer to color of main board. Snow significantly blended in to make it look less messy. Blue Heroes: New banner Uploaded missing images Changed top img at preferences to better fit the skin Sonic & Knuckles: Uploaded missing images Changed top img at preferences to better fit the skin Sandopolis: Logo now says "Sonic Blast" in Egyptian styled writing. Changed submenu background links to better fit with the theme(search, members, etc). I personally think Ice Cap is the biggest improvement. The others just were minor improvements. I've always thought Ice Cap was the weakest of the bunch but now I'd say it's on par with the rest. Edited by Neo Metallix, Jan 21 2012, 03:52 PM.

What you meant to say was "Ice Cap rules, now it's on a par with Shadow Blade V1." That's what you meant to say. Btw, my cache finally let me see the new header. Nice job once more. +1 Edit: you have a poll open asking which is our favourite skin. Might I suggest an opposite poll - one which could do with some tweaks/is the weakest link? You clearly have a creative streak with skins, so you may as well aim it in the direction of the skins in need of some more loveskies :3 Edited by Master of Darkness�, Jan 20 2012, 02:41 PM.

There are some that I think I better than others but there is a standard in which I want all of them to be at and I think Ice Cap has finally met that. Although it wasn't horrible before. The header, I never really noticed was so poor before, I don't know why but it is definitely better. Also good idea on that poll idea. I'll go make one.

(Hm, in Spin Slash's Slash's banner, maybe you could add a dark glow around Shadow...) Has Blue Heroes always had that banner? You say "higher quality," but do you mean it's new? Or is it that I just haven't looked at it in a very long time? Hm. EITHER WAY, I LOVE IT

It compliments the rest of the skin very nicely... Plus it's got much more personality than the old one.

It's enabled now, though. I'm not complaining. Yeah it's essentially the Halloween skin. Unlike the Christmas skin, however, this one could be a stand alone skin based on pumpkin hill and there was a request to make it standard so I did.

Sandopolis Act 1 Posts: 1,567 Group: S Rank Hero Member #9,080 Joined: June 18, 2008 Gender: Male Steam ID: fwiss1174	Needs work. The text is just a gradient and not a texture. Looks like something I'd make in a hurry for a middle-school project. Constructive criticism. Oh, and the banner doesn't link to the main page in some skins, and that's kind of annoying for those of use who use it. Edited by Fwiss, Jan 22 2012, 05:37 PM.

Textures can look rushed as well.

What is the difference between a duck? Posts: 4,799 Group: Former Monarchs Member #7,312 Joined: April 10, 2008 Playstation Network ID: Allbowdown Xbox Live Gamertag: allbowdown	I'm still stickin' with Dreamcaster but I do agree that these changes have made all of the skins affected look nicer, especially ice cap. Any plan to ever add the Sonic Blast name to Oil Ocean, like the words peekin' up behind the "skyline" or somethin' along those lines?

It looks good though. Better quality on my phone, which I normally use to get on this site. Thank you!
