How often do you change your skin?

I just changed my Forum Skin from Tulip to Spring, and I love it!
It is such a refreshing change to have a totally new look and feel to the site.....I think I am going to start changing it on a regular basis.

Does anyone else ever change skins? How often? What is your favorite?

Actually I rarely do that. I am on several vbulletin forums and the house colours serve as a good reminder to me to give me the right feel for wherever I am at that moment.

Oh yeah, I get what you're saying and it makes sense.

I'm only on one other forum and it doesn't have the option of changing skins.

Thanks for making this thread, because I had no idea there were different skins! I quickly changed from the default to spring, and I love it. Thanks again!

I didn't know anything about forum skins either lol

Hey Melissa - yeah, isn't it nice? It was one of those little things that made me happy today.

Skully - I am often surprised by little things around here that I never even knew about. I learn new things all the time.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up, darkrunner! I only knew about the blog skins. I didn't realize there were different forum skins available also! It's nice to be able to have the option to change it up a bit!

PS: Even more exciting is the "mobile" option!!! That is very cool!!!

No I dont change it at all I love the way it look

In the almost 7 years that I have been coming here, I have only ever used the default skin. I just can't get used to the others.

Ok..how do you change a skin? Just curious.

You click on "My Profile" at the top of the screen and then select "Edit Display" from the drop down menu. That takes you to a new page. Towards the bottom of that page you'll see an option that says "Forum Skin". And you can select from 5 or 6 different versions. Having tried them all out, I've actually ended up going back to the default one!!! But if I'm in a particularly pink mood, I will definitely select Tulip one day!!!

I haven't changed the skin yet and I doubt I ever will; I've been using the same theme for my laptop for 4 years and change the wallpaper about once a year.

Haha - I didn't know this option existed either!
I've just changed mine to the default one - a bluey one.. Navy Blue

As far as I know the default skin is pale yellow, not blue. You must of changed to one of the other skins.

I like the Tulip as well...but it doesn't have something the others have (I forget just what right now... sorry)

I change every so often, maybe twice a year? I rather change my font color each month, so I can try and keep track if a post I made in a long thread is a more recent or older post.

BTW the forum default is a grey background, with pale blue accentwindow lines, a white text box background and darker blue task bars.

I have changed before and changed back to default which is pale yellow with blue and has been like this ever since the first day I logged in some 7 years ago. There must be some confusion as to what the default skin is.

I'm sure mine was called 'Default" - but it's definitely not yellow, lol

I can never keep anything constant, I'm always changing appearances so yes. Im always here messing around with this one.
I'll be honest though. I don't really like a lot of the options. I keep it on the tulip one a lot. Its the easiest to see.
I wish the black were darker. Its easier on my eyes at night.

Not a big deal There is "forum default"; Psych Central; and "default style" listed (as well as the Tulip, teal/black and another one or two I think.

I described the "forum default."

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks

That's a little confusing that 2 of them have 'default' in the name.

I was wondering about the 'mobile' option. I haven't had a chance to play around with that yet. Is the only purpose to make browsing easier on your phone? Because my phone automatically uses the Mobile version, even though I don't have that selected in my settings. I actually tried to change it but couldn't figure out how.

Oh yeah, I remember hearing something about that, but I can't remember what it is, either. I guess we don't miss it too much, whatever it is!

LOL, when I read the title of the thread, I thought, yes, a zipper that starts just under my neck & instead of taking a shower, I just unzip & change into one of my other skins that I have hanging in the closet.....

Ok seriously, I found the skins when we first got onto this new forum platform just about 3 years ago. Found "Tulip" after sampling all the others & have stuck with it every since. What I love is being able to set up our profile colors & designing that to be our own comfort colors also.....that was really fun coordinating all the colors
