Well not like full-blown textures, but the solid-color thing with the text is just really bad.
Even some better shading or diagonal lines might do, like in Tails Blast.
Links in Tails Blast are pretty difficult to see in Tails Blast, especially on the main page when linking to topics and usernames.

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?


I was thinking of it, just trying to figure out how to do it. Your idea sounds good...

I redid the sandopolis thing and do you have an old monitor? They're easy for me to see.

I'm using my new laptop's monitor.
Also, great job on salvaging the Sandopolis banner! I don't like the text shape, but it's more than bearable!

I object to your claims
Sonic Blast logo in Sandopolis is looking good!


And I'm loving how Pumpkin Hill is now a year-round skin. =3

Yup, I think I'ma use Pumpkin Hill more now.
A funny thought has occurred. The jumping caterpillar robot has this 'grraaah nom nom' face.

Whoa, I like the new layout, but the black parts look stupid in Sandopolis.
Great in Pumpkin Hill, though.

My! That's a pretty snazzy performance there!
They all look good. But can I make a suggestions toward a new one? I know it's kind of off topic, but it seems that most of the skins represent a holiday more or less. So Sweet Mountain = Thanksgiving? Just throwing it out there, don't be mad.

I'm not mad but none of them represent a holiday except maybe pumpkin hill. It's not a bad idea though but I never know what skin will be next.

Idk, it feels like the Girls of Mobius might be Valentines and Ice Cap like a winter (duh). All of the skins are awesome though.

Oh wow, so this is what happens when I'm off the site for a few days?
I rather dislike the new Blue Heroes banner, so I'll just be switching to Sonic & Knuckles. XD

I think it just comes across as too "in-your-face," not too sure how to describe it. I don't really mind that much though, as the majority approve and there are plenty of other skins XD

Wow, Ice Cap is very pretty. My chosen skin because, well, the color scheme is a lot better than the other ones. White and blue have always gone together well, even if it one of the pixel-based skin (which I disliked because of the eye-hurting or simply difficult to read color schemes.)

Though I was wondering if it would be possible to remove, or at least change the color to the background, the button under people's usernames when they post. It goes badly with the bluer and purple titles.
