Skinning the Forum

Currently, the forum looks too default, new and to be honest crap. It shows nothing about the "spritiness" of the forum. I know people here are skilled spriters, but I highly doubt anyone can make the whole layout on their own pixel by pixel.

So what I propose is a forumwide project to skin the forum.

Before anyone whips out their mice, how should the skin look like? I think it should be like an in-game menu, with all its pixelly goodness.

What about everyone else?

eh, it's not bad. But I agree could be better. Although considering this is a fairly new forum, I'm not surprised that they haven't got the perfect skin yet.

I plan to keep this skin, though probably not as the default - it's very Classic PMF-esque and I honestly like it, but I'm not opposed to a custom skin for the forum.
The issue is - does anyone even have the vaguest idea of how to skin Zetaboards? Seriously, we need someone who can actually do it. We can't just get a bunch of pretty pictures and put them together.
That said I totally support this idea if we can find someone who has the ability to skin ZB.

Isn't it just like InvisionFree where you slot images around and change colors?

Still, I can as around other forums.

Yeah, but it's apparently a lot more difficult and different than Invisionfree's skinning system.
Asking around sounds like a good idea.

I've made a test forum and it's just HTML. So I can have a go.

EDIT: and I'm WAY out of my depth. It's mostly HTML and I can give the password to the test forum for some experimenting.

XD -raises hand- i'm learning to skin zb, and i've figured out about half of it, so after i finish exploring the coding i can whip up a skin if you'd like.

examples here- skin selector at the bottom ('tis my test board for IF/IPBfree skins)

Nice. Now all we need are buttons, and people can jump in.

What do we need?

I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike.
I do like the idea of a sprite-based interface.

I made some mockup buttons. Opinions?
