I've recently started making my own forum skins, i've only made the three so far but i'm getting better with every one.

Morgue Skin (in use)
The first skin i've made, currently in use on my forum

StirThatEchoes Skin (in use)
My second skin, (banner also mine) made for a friends clan webpage

Morgue.2
The latest skin, made today, (banner is also mine), it needs alil more work on it, but it's coming along well and depending on the results of a poll on my site it ay be used on there.

The Morgue skin's background is a little too much. I suggest that you edit the image to make it just one big image and make it fixed on CSS, otherwise well done with the whole skin, pretty good for a first made skin. I kinda like it.

I really like the colors you used for StirtheEchoes skin. One thing that you need to remember though is that when you are making the headers, it's always better to have the header more eye-catching than the sub-header. On this skin, your sub-header is darker thus overthrowing the header. If you could try exactly the same style for the header except making it darker than the sub-header and see how that goes.

Also animated buttons can be distracting so I suggest that whenever you add animations in your forums as part of the skin, make it smaller. And again, the background can be changed to "Fixed".
You did a really good job with the banner too, just maybe a light touch of brown or cream or whatever color combination you used on the skin. Like the banner you used for Morgue2 skin, that color combo would be perfect, I think.

Overall, you did a really great job with those skins, Imago. My favorite is the StirthatEchoes skin. That was the best one for me.

Keep playing around with different styles and with your graphics and you will be outdoing yourself before you even know it. :-) Well done, girl!

Go to your CSS, usually in the first paragragh, find this and add or change the BOLD text:
Quote:
 
BODY { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; margin:0px 10px 0px 10px; background-color:#FFFFFF; background-attachment: fixed }


I like the banner on the one you just made. :-)
