My b2evolution Version: 1.10.x

I'm making 2 new skins based on Custom skin. One is pink, one is green.
Even if it's not finish yet, I have some changes to make to <blockquote>, <ins> and <cite>, You can preview on the link bellow the new features:
- Design for 1024x768 screens
- Date is displayed using a calendar css icon
- Titles are using Comic sans MS font
- Easy to display a picture on the left side; not mandatory
- First character of the first line is bigger; I added a new button on the backoffice for this
- Title of search fill has been removed
- Easy to make a new color skin based on this template

Demos:
- pink skin: http://daury.net/phpbb/ (multilangual blog)
- green skin: http://daury.net/ (french blog)

Questions:
- Do you have any problem using your favorite browser ? I tested it using FF2 on linux and IE7 on windows
- How can I publish it to skins.b2evolution.net

I'm waiting for your feedbacks

Nice job. I think these skins will become quite popular.

But you want me to be critical:
- in the purple one the subheader shouldn't be black but lighter
- in the green one I find the black line at the borderside too harsh.

You changed the width and with larger monitors being cheap. IMO webdevelopers could take 17" as standard and it won't take long before that rises to 19". No need to keep thinking about those 15"anymore.
But have you considered a third column to make use of the larger width. I noticed demand for three column layout.

Keep up the good work.

You can send the skins to personman. There is a link outhere. Make sure you fullfill the [url=http://manual.b2evolution.net/Submitting_to_skin_directory]requirements[/url] (screencapture, description etc.)

I forgot to mention this:

In a few weeks time there is the version 2.0 coming up. You would do a great job if you converted these skins to the new format. That will assure you a prominent place in the catalog.

Don't know if it's the templates themselves or some of the post contents, but both of those pages have 11 validation errors... just thought you should know...

Thanks a lot for your feedback and for the link. I will update both skin and I'm doing a third one using blue as based color.

I do not work yet on a third colomn but I will try.

Where can I find information about 2.0 skin ?

Thanks, should be corrected now.

- in the green one I find the black line at the borderside too harsh.

I will work on that next weekend.
