Hey, PaperGrace suggested that I find a way to use book icons instead of folder icons; I have done this, but ONLY implimented on the Forrest Skin to start with. I would like feedback from everyone before I impliment it on all the other skins?
So, please, check out the Forrest Skin, see the Book Icons (there is a purple and yellow book for a couple of things that I may try to colour co-ordinate with each skin, but for now I left them the original colour while I try this out) and let me know what you think?
PS, the flaming books come in two styles...the less flames is for the "Hot Thread" and the one completely covered in flames is for the "Very Hot Thread". The book with the pen is for "Sticky" threads, the book with the lock is for "Locked" threads, and the group of books where one has a Key Hole is for "Locked Sticky" threads.
Any other suggestions related to the skins, please, share with me. Any colour schemes you would like to see? Any other icons you would like to see? Do the books from Forrest work, and should I impliment the book icons in the other skins?
Thanks, Scribbliz

I almost like them. They don't let you know when something is new, like the folders did. The little new button does the same job, so I suppose it isn't essential. If I were handy at things like that I'd make books that were closed when there was new content, and opened up when they'd been read. Alas I am not. I think it would be nice to feature them on a skin or two though, for variety. I may stick with this one.

I will keep working to find out if I can see if I can make it differenciate between new and not...hard to do when I forget and read everything...then when I go to work on it there's no new topics anymore! LOL
I will probly add them to several (if not all) skins if I can figure it out properly. Just wanted feedback before I do

I like em ... erm, I'm seeing closed books on the done-with threads, and open books on the something's-new threads -- looks great to me.

ok, so I have updated all the profiles with the book icons. throughout the next week I will try to adjust the colour of the purple and yellow books to match the individual colour schemes. But I have to either find new icons in the right colours, or use paint to change them...so it will take me a bit; please be patient (I know you all are!) if there are any scheme's you think should be swapped back to folders, please let me know?

glad you liked it, oh and I noticed when you hit the "home" button, that a purple book means there is no new posts and a yellow book means new posts...HOWEVER, if you access the thread through the "latest" tab at the top, then the books stay yellow

yeah, it took me a while to figure it out, but hey, at least we know now right so paper, are you happy with the colour choices or is there a colour scheme you would like? What's your favorite colour?
