    Default BoB's Simplified style

    It should be colored to match EoFF classic. It would not affect bandwidth or "simplicity", it can be done entirely in CSS. If it was EoFF classic colors it could very well be the greatest thing ever invented. Note: I'm not volunteering to do this myself.

    I think a major reason for the current Simplified colours was that they vaguely resemble MS Word, or other stuff you can get away with using at work. Basically, it's designed so it won't stand out and give away the fact that you're bumming around on the internet while your company pays you.

    No reason we couldn't have an additional EoFF Classic Simple style or something though, right?

    Unne makes a good point. Just clone BooB's style and then tweak the colors. Thanks for volunteering, Unne.

    So one could simply copy/paste the current code, but change the thingy that sets the colours? Sounds simple enough; if I knew anything about programming, I'd probably give it a go.

    Yes, it's a very simple task. I just don't like having so many styles for stuff like this. We've already had requests for a blue version of EoFF 2005. I also don't like having so many styles in general, as it's a right pain to maintain... however, I'm willing to remove Fluffy Puff, which looks horrendous because I never could be arsed prettifying it for vB3.5, in exchange for the Simplified Style in EoFF blues.

    I just don't want to start taking requests on styles. I like having only five styles - you'd think everyone could find one that is good enough for them out of those five. Although I still think the vB2 postbit location one is a waste, as witih Fluffy Puff. But I guess there are people out there that like them, so yeah. FP is definitely not maintained, though, and if people don't care, I'll be more than happy to take it away and throw up the one requested in this thread.

    I have a feeling that ShlupQuack would kill you if you got rid of the pink one.

    I think Unne and Shlup will need to settle this with a knife fight.

    I do not think that you should touch Fluffy Puff. Re-admin Shlup to update it for vB3.5! :|

    you mean vb2 PM location? because side postbit is so superior to top postbit that it's not even funny.

    I don't think any skins should be removed, especially Fluffy Puff considering how it is the easiest on the eyes of any of the skins, however it should be upgraded, also so that you can see what PM's you have replied to not just read as I can't notice a difference, I do prefer side postbit, however both work fine, I find Classic to be harder on the eyes however.

    Also signature sizes may wary between the Classic(and FP) and 2005 because of certain lines of text will go to the second line in 2005 where as they will stay on the first line in Classic, and if you're close to the limit that could take it over the limit.

    I thought the point of it being in that colour is that it was boring and almost colourless.

    I cannot approve of getting rid of fluffy puff, unless we go back to using the banner on the classic blue style:]
