Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

It's exactly the same background color as when you posted yesterday, which is why I was confused :P .

What I was thinking actually is also making a second version of the same skin, with a dark background color. Either that, or having an extra field in users' profile where they can pick whatever background color they want; that would require using javascript, though, which I'd like to avoid.
I prefer darker themes in general (lot easier on the eyes), so I would be all for the first option. I really do like the new header though
A dark variant of this theme, that would change not just the background but also the rest of the forum, is probably a good idea. I would leave the header identical, and just adjust the color tones (the new skin only uses five different colors, so taht should be easy to do).

For those using the old skin: to avoid having to maintain a million different header versions, I am thinking of replacing the old header with the new one in that skin too. You can take a look at it using the "Euro tester" skin (which is just for debugging purposes and you should not use permanently).

Also, if people feel strongly about it and have any ideas on how to do it, let me know about adding the regional "motto" ("The land of peace, freedom, and equality.") somewhere in the header.

Put it in the skyline above the buildings? Use buildings as breaks between words. Not sure how it would be done though.

I had tried that and thought it didn't looked good. We could have an additional row for the motto below the buildings, but that would make the header very busy I think.

That is going to take more work than I'm willing to put into this.

Header looks great, and I seem to be in the same boat as PASD, the whole forum seems less bright white than it was, which makes it a lot easier on the eyes (or maybe we've just adjusted to it)

I enjoy the Tester version (the dark background) The original alternate skin was too plain for me.

EDIT: Although, I wish it was a bit narrower.

EDIT v1.2: I don't know whether it's intentional that the tester version still has - whatever you call the images that contain the forum section titles - that were on the original forum. I'd like to at least see what it looks like with thte new ones.

I personally like having the information in the header visible without a mouse-over, but it's not a big issue for me if you want to move to having the house over function in all the skins.

Aesthetically, I can't see anything specific wrong with the new skins, but I haven't adjusted to the extra width - it just looks and feels wrong to me at the moment.

I really like the drop-down feature. Much less clutter at the top of the site.

Keep the improvements coming, r3n - I really like the product thus far.
