    Alternative HTG "Skin" selections at HTGuide

    No, I don't mean between browsers. I mean colors. We have an HTG Dark selection which is a maroon/amber/red based color combo, and we also added, my favorite, and my most influential: Blue Ice. We first went down the maroon road. But after we finished it, I decided to try the blue on black/grey combo. The color instantly became my choice.

    At the bottom of the main page, just use the drop down window to select your HTG "Skin" of choice. If you like the standard profile, do nothing, but if you like a darker page, and lighter text. Try one of the options Kevin and I developed, who knows you might like one of them.

    I will be honest, this started because I have become more and more averse to WHITE screens. Maybe you are like me, and find the darker screens easier on the eyes, after looking at computers all day. Well, we hope you find one of the skins you enjoy, even if it's the default one. It served us well for years!

    I use Blue Ice now myself as my skin of choice. Though sometimes, I have reason to use different skins too.

    Enjoy,
    Doug

      I think I have a different skin on each computer I use, since it's stored in a cookie, different 'puters can have different styles selected. I have Blue Ice on my lappy.

        yeah, it's by browser, you can have Chrome with one skin, and Explorer with another. Works great!

        That probably wouldn't have much function for most people, occasionally it does for me.

        So, sound off about the skins guys, do you like them? Members speak up.
