Skin of the (3) Month!

[Akai]

Finally! You may have noticed that March, April, and May was going without new skins. Well the wait is over. Shiny Raichu has just completed the three I made for PokeZam. Check them out. The first for March features Charizard and is called BLAST BURN (http://www.pokezam.com/forums/index.php?styleid=47). The second is for April and features Blastoise, called HYDRO CANNON (http://www.pokezam.com/forums/index.php?styleid=46). The final one for May features Venusaur and is called FRENZY PLANT (http://www.pokezam.com/forums/index.php?styleid=48). Just a little warning: Blast Burn is a little too bright, but is a favorite for any Fire lover. Hydro Cannon may be a little dark, but may turn on all those Water lovers. Frenzy Plant, IMO, is the best. SR agrees, and you will too. =)

Now for the extras I've prepared and waited so long to release.

Everyone's seen my revamps sadly. I just couldn't wait on those.

I have made avatars for anyone wanting one:

Or if you don't like the effects:

Now, something really special. I have discarded the PokePets in the Ball Keychains for something a little more compact and sleeker. I have done several of these, and very proud of them. I will have a special time, until the end of the month to make these in my shop, so hurry, hurry. Presenting, GameBoy PokePets!

That's all for this time. Enjoy the skins. Enjoy the extras. Just wait until next month. ;) Later.

Do check the skins out, too. They're a little better than my old ones, as I've become more familiar with how to make them, and I added a few more touch-ups to make them look the ones that were here before I came. As always, Akai is the true maker of them, as she makes the base, then I convert it to the Vbulliten style and add a few touch ups.

And, since it fits to ask here, could I make these avatars choosable in the User Control Panel?

[Akai]

I suppose, but you need to find a better way of displaying them. Is there any way to make some sort of drop screen for them?

[Kaboom]

Love the new skins, love the new PokePets, the avvys are brilliant... well worth the wait, I think!

There's one small suggestion to make about the Blast Burn skin, and that is: maybe you should use different pictures for the "forum contains new posts" and "forum contains no new posts", because atm they resemble each other too much and, combined with the bg colour, I can't tell if there are new posts or not.

Oh, btw, the best bit in my opinion (besides the banners) is the a:hover{ text-decoration: overline} - love that effect!

SR, this is for you. =)

Thanks a lot. SR worked hard converting these.

What exactly do you mean? You mean the skin selector, or something else?

Thanks.

The pre-selected avatars.

[FreezeWarp]

Ah.... Yeah, I'll be trying to get something going there.

If you had an avatar dropscreen in the profiles, that would be a lot better. Think of it as a spoiler for it. So, instead of waiting for 8 or 10 images to load, you can choose which one, if any, you'd want.
