Love the tutorial DemonSeed. Though, I'm curious, how would you go about changing everything else? Such as the blue standard background, and with the black one you had?
If I get the chance, I'll totally make a SevenForums skin. My work in photoshop ain't a superstar, but I'll work with some other fancy graphics people and see if we can't get somethin' going. :]
Should ask them to stick this in the tutorial section.
