*raises hand modestly*
I would do much more to it if I didn't think the move to our new shiny all singing all dancing forum was imminent.
@boo. I tend to agree with you that the buttons are in keeping with the rest of the design. That blue is the default color for links on the web and as nav buttons they are indeed links , so why not? And they match all the other links on the forum which I have left the default colour and done nothing fancy with, such as adding colours for hover and visited states.
And I really have to stop being distracted and get on with some proper work, cos I've been having so much fun doing this.

I can assure you that this forum will remain accessible to current members as an archive, once the new one goes live.

if not some lush embossed purple wallpapre Is this lush, embossed and purple enough for you Pete?! And everyone else, do you like the new wall paper or not? I'm not sure myself, but it is better than the alternative I had made, which will never be seen again. I realise the 'breadcrumb menu' above the main forum boxes cannot be seen clearly now, but if the wall paper is liked I can work on changing that next. Now that we know from the newsletter that this forum will not be replaced to mid August I am more inclined to spend time tweaking its appearance. Please excuse double post. Jen x

*whispers* I liked it better how you had it before
this somehow makes me think of Velvet Goldmine - which is no bad thing....

Well, it's easy enough to change it back. I admit I am not sure about it myself. It's a bit busy somehow. I just find the all over green a little sameish. Possibly I could edit the original green background to add a bit of texture to break it up a bit. I'll leave this up here tonight at least, and try something else tomorrow. Maybe if I take screen shots of each ooption so everyone gets a chance to compare all, over the next few days.

I'm afraid I prefer it as was as well... "Busy" is exactly what crossed my mind as I logged in, plus it gave slightly more lag loading this scheme for some reason (but that could just be my system). Is there any way you can employ both styles as a user-specified option? I wouldn't want to take away anyone else's preference just so I can be petty

I liked it better how it was before as well... I think it was really great and I didn't see the need to change it/make it to look better

I like Boo's idea of having a choice of skins. And since mroe of us seem to like the previous one, have that as default (since it is LAR coloured anyway) and then people can choose to customise to this option if they prefer. If that's possible

Ok, I will leave it a little bit longer so as many people as possible get a chance to comment, but I'm getting a feeling this wallpaper is gone.
Initially, I wanted to give people a choice of skins, but I couldn't find a way to get that option to work although it ishould do. That is why I have had to alter the default skin on the fly, rather than create a whole new skin, then apply it as I would have preferred to do.
