Jumpluff Sprite Comic [Style Set]

I am happy to announce the new style set. It is the Sprite Comic style! Old school ASBers should remember this one well. It is also currently the only light colored one. So hopefully it will make someone happy.

Go forth and be happy! *whips* I said be happy. >O

In celebration of this new style, I propose that all posts in this thread make gratuitous use of bold, Sprite Comic style!

Hi I'm Dave and I approve of this skin.

Boldy bold Mcboldykins.

EDIT the first: >MediumTurquoise unreadable

Perhaps not...

Don't forget the gratuitous use of Comic Sans.

Oh, man! How could I have forgotten such an important aspect of Sprite Comic style?

There is a noticeable lack of Porygon 2 in this style set.

I have now totally added you. Sadly, only Admins and Mods can even see it. And so I have decided to attach this screenshot in the spoiler below. Please excuse how completely freaking large it is.

What is with the seemingly-random overuse of bold?

Oh wow. It's so incredibly odd to see a version of UPN that isn't completely black.

>no Quilava Post Icon for me to use. Boo.

When I did the Sprite Comics, I liked to use a lot of seemingly-random bold. To the point of it being an easy-to-parody hallmark of its barely existent visual style. tungsten

Only problem I see is that most users tend to use light fonts to stand out against the dark background, which now cannot be seen at all on this skin... =/

All this illustrates is that the practice of using colored font colors instead of a default font color is one which backfires terribly depending on your audience -- and is Reason Numero UNO for not using them.

No, but seriously, this is exactly why you shouldn't write your posts in a "speshul color." Back on older Kuno UPNs, we used to have a lot of different style sets that many people used different ones of and, as you might expect, you'd often hear from others, "I CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU WROTE!" when you'd put something in a color tag.

I've never read any of those Sprite Comics. But I do like this new forum skin.

But font colours makes people more recognizable. :/


Hmm, wonder if my colour is readable at all on it.




EDIT: And that's a no. Oh, well.

I never really understood the whole "posting in a specific color" thing. Seems like a lot of effort to put into something that doesn't really matter. Same thing goes for post icons.

I like the Sprite style set, but I won't use it because I love Black Smart too much.

I wasn't even aware Kin used a post color. o.O;

"Lil" and "blue" have been my trademarks for a long time, not about to change them now. XP

Coo' skin though.
