Well.. as it stands, we have four:

IBP Default
Caliskin
Hardwired
BoHeGeHa

Would you like another?

Right now, I have downloaded:

Aquatic eXperience
ONi Style

But I am open to others (make sure they are either IBP 1.2 or 1.3).

You need a .tar compressor. This is required for any skin making.

should it be a regular uncompressed tar? or will it work if we Gzip the file? (.tar.gz)

OP2 themes: Kevin might have them at his site:

You may be able to GZIP it. I think the forum uses GZIP compressiom, but I am unsure as to if it'll work.

Then browse http://www.ibplanet.com for one you like! It has to be either a 1.2 or a 1.3 compatable skin, however.

Okay.. but I have to warn you that it will be a while before you can use it. I have to edit the files for the IBShout, IBStore, and IBReferral stuff.

Yes.. see the posts above for the Default skin TAR..

I may have to update that though, because of the fact that the IBStore, IBShout, and IBReferral kind of changed the files.

Show credits in the topic view?

I guess I have forgotten to edit the skin_topic.php and skin_profile.php

I'll do that tomarrow, as I have plans tonight.
