Sass click 'Profile' on the menu bar at the top of the board, then click 'Modify Profile'
Scroll down the page to 'Account Preferences' where you will see 'Select Skin'
Click on the drop down arrow, select a skin, click on 'Modify Profile' at the bottom of the page on the left hand side.
Voila! your new skin will appear ;D

I'd like to make some skins but I havent a clue. Basically you make a skin by using 'Hex Colour Codes' which you then choose to use on various parts of the board. I think the hardest part is actually choosing the colours to use. As you want the skin to flow and blend well. When I make a skin I'll either have the colours in mind and work round them, or I'll have an idea for the banner and the skin colours will fit around that. Themed skins are good because you can take colours from the theme. A while ago I was going to make a 'Dear Frankie' skin, that instantly makes me think of blues and creams. It would help Joy if I send you a copy of the board coding page and you can see how you get on

It's that color coding that's prevented me from making any skins... I can create the banners and background, but I always have an issue with the color scheme.

I made a few skins for a JDM board that was one of our affiliates but the board has now closed So I'm going to recycle those and add them here soon Id love to give it a shot Excellent!
