removed old skin

I doubt this will affect anyone since the custom skin has been set as default for a long time and I originally switched everyone over by default, but left the old corona skin just in case something would gone wrong with this one. I was doing a slight change in the template and realized the corona was still there so I cleared it. It would be great to have downloaded skins as well, but it's just that it's a lot of trouble to manually add all the navigation and such. But later on I'll probably fix something up and install more skins, even if it means having a wrapper with the buttons applied to all those skins. It could simply be all on top or something.

Actually, I should of took some screen shots, the corona one gave me memories of when we had the server, the top was layed out similar to then with the vote for us button and the cancer one.

R.I.P.

I never really used it though.

If someone is using Corona, will it automatically go to this skin? No one would get an error or anything, right?

Nope, it only let's me remove it if no one is using it. It was sort of messed up as it shows like 12 users using it and 25 using this one or something, but where's everyone else lol. So I used the feature to move over everyone to the other skin so if they were using corona and came here it simly showed up as this one. So no errors.

it is a little to viewable to be a true watermark needs to be just slightly darker then the rest of the area.

I could try to make it lighter (darker would make it show more) but it seems fine at my end though. But I think by Christmas this skin will be replaced by something even better. This skin is great and all but I really want to upgrade which will force me to restart and make a new skin.

Yep. Sounds like a plan. Flashing christmas lights can be tiled right in the text box.

Then I can publish a book: Intensive user's guide to making Christmas an enoying holiday, by Red Squirrel

I'm not sure if they still do that, but I remember seeing a house in our city that had so many christmas lights it was incredible. The hydro station could expand a lot of stuff after because of the great increase in the money made durring christmas.

Only thing I find ugly is when more than 60% of thelights are burt or faded, and that there's no color pattern whatsoever.

I see that often.

The power company here raises the rates for the month of December because of all the Christmas lights. They may do the same in your area.

Hehe yep. That's when you need to have your own VRLA battery plant. use as much amps as you want, you pay flat rate to keep it charged.

A giant house UPS. See my article on telecom tour to see how big these are. It ain't your ordinary flash light battery.
