So... the skins are live on the Hotline. Are you running into problems? Are they not what you were hoping? If you came from the front page and would rather contact me privately, go back and click on the "By Leviathant" link on the story :)

everything looks great levi.
im using ie 6.0 and all the different skins work perfectly fine for me.
that blue is real nice, the black is pretty good too, but i think i will be sticking to the classic white.
keep up the good work.

I'm using Apple's Safari browser and everything is looking and working fine. I'm sticking with the blue theme. Nice job!

I like the blue but i'm really hating the brown.
The Black is alright i guess but id like some more color.

That blue skin is definitely the new hotness. Only thing I could ask for is to brighten up the main text a bit. The gray on brown isn't quite as high contrast as I'm used to.

I don't care for the brown either.
And also agree the black could use some color. (I think red, but that's just me.)
I'm still sticking with the black.
Oh, and yea...it's all working fine for me too!

Cool, thanks for the swift feedback. Keep the ideas coming, skins are eeeeeasy to implement, so I can always do variations.

I think they all look very lovely. I prefer the blue, because it's nice to have some color for a change. But I think maybe there are too many shades of brown. Perhaps if you went with one hue, and uses different saturation or lightness levels, but not too different. Similar to how you've used the grays on the black and white skins. They're a little more subtle. But overall, Thumb's Up!

Looks good in mighty IE6. Always liked the white theme.. I'm off the whole black-website-thing, really.

I think I like the blue the best, although it would be a little nicer if the text was clearer. The classic white is also cool. Nevertheless, Levi, you've done an awesome job, and if I haven't said it before we are all really lucky that you've dedicated so much time and energy to the best NIN site in the world

Here are some ideas. You should use the same colors that are on the "Pretty Hate Machine" sleeve. That could be one style, or on an other style, you could use the colors that are on the "Fixed" or "Things Falling Apart" CD. I think a lot of people would like those colors.

It seems to be working great on mozilla. The blue is my favorite but I think you should darken the backround blue. It just seems to...

No, honestly. It is just too much the shade of that shitty grandma blue. Darkw would be hot!!

Wait wait wait. I take it back. As beautiful as the blue scheme looks- it seems way too different. I think you could add more color to the black one somehow and change the hotlinks to a color other than white.

well the white is all very well and good if you go for stark and the black should look better when the nav comes back but, as much as i like the blue, brown is, well i dont know, its just a little overbalanced, i guess. we could all learn to love it in time i suppose...

I'm gonna stick with the white. I used to only design websites with black backgrounds.. but then I grew up.

White is classy. Not a big fan of the blue, maybe I'm just too used to the old style. BTW, Leviathant, love the avatar. Keep up the good work. Peace out money luvas.
