I'd like to get started on this soon. I'll probably use the skin Kuu posted as the light one, but that won't be for a while because I have to make it work with this version of SMF. So there's still time to find a lighter skin if you don't like that one. Maybe you guys will like the one Solar just posted or something.

As far as dark skins are concerned, which of these do you prefer? I won't make anything default yet, but I'd like to get a skin added and begin work on it fairly soon.
