Well, it's almost summer time! So go grab your surf boards and... swim to Hawaii or whatever people do these days, because [b]Tropical Splash is a skin once more![/b] I ported this over all by myself (using various helpful bits from the original skin and one of Black Squirrel's nifty other skins to conjure this up), so I hope you enjoy this skin just in time for the beach! Go ahead, try it out for yourself! If you don't like it, that's fine too! :D It is also worth noting that [b]Codec Cyan has been brought back[/b] as well. Feel free to check that out too. Be sure to report any bugs you find in these skins!

Groovy. I see some places where the new skin could use more contrast, but overall it's looking pretty cool. I always was a fan of Tropical Splash.

Ooh, very nice. I really like Tropical Splash.

Lovin' Tropical Splash. Thanks ever so much, Rystar!

[quote="UltLuigi"]Lovin' Tropical Splash. Thanks ever so much, Rystar![/quote] You're welcome! I myself loved Tropical Splash on the IPB boards, and was sad that they never got ported over when we first moved to phpBB. Nearly 3 years later, I finally decided to take up the job myself XD

Awesome! I really like this theme :D

Surfs up, MFGG!

Great skin but some text/background needs a bit of contrast like Vinny said. Plus te brightly colored sand background make it off the place a bit.

Great job on this, Rystar! I've been waiting for this. Tropical Splash has gotta be the best skin ever. Now we just need to get you to port over Winter Blue as well for when cold times are up ahead.

Forward thinking These skins were not really fit for purpose. One is ten years old, the other was offloaded because it didn't fit with this site's focus. Both were optimised for CRT monitors and 1024x768 displays, neither really reflect modern standards (even the set I modernised could do with modernising again).

[font=Comic Sans MS]they're pretty good skins for a start but I think they could be improved quite a bit. a lot of color choices just seem really off in areas[/font]

The "No new posts popular" has no image. Is this just me?

[quote="Pyro"]The "No new posts popular" has no image. Is this just me?[/quote] This is apparently the fault of the file transfer missing the image. I had the image done and ready to use, but no one has uploaded it yet.

Any chance of porting those Yoshi and kirby skins one day?

[quote="Jazz"]Any chance of porting those Yoshi and kirby skins one day?[/quote] Possibly; phpBB isn't as clunky as I feared it would be (although more things went wrong in the final transfer than necessary). I already have plans to port over Winter Blue because [i]that was the second best skin after this one you all [b]shut your mouths[/b][/i] :)

I have a minor complaint on codec cyan: I have trouble distinguish new post pinned topic and no new post pinned topic. All the icon are pretty same unless you identify the posting time. Mind if you can just simple make a small tweak so we can tell the difference. Besides that, codec cyan is really good skin and fit my personality.
