Facelift (again) for Emulation64.com

Well, kinda a face lift!

For the past 2 months I have been redesigning Emulation64.com to have a skinnable interface and it is finally completed.

At present we have 4 skins that you can select:
  • RatTrap - The design you know and love, which is the default. By none other than RatTrap.
  • Doug Light & Dark - Design created by [D.O.U.G], CSS by me.
  • Blue - The style that we had before we moved over to RatTraps theme.

I'd like to thank all of the Mods at EmuTalk for testing out the skinning system before it was released, and the following tools:
grep, cat, DreamWeaver, BlueFish, Quanta Plus, mySQL, PHP and the vBulletin team for making their code so easy to play with.

If anyone finds any <a href="mailto:[email protected]?Emu64 Skin Errors">errors please email me</a> with a short description of the error and the page you get it on.

Now here's the fun part!

If anyone would like to make a skin for Emulation64.com you can! Just make up the skin, add some sample content (eg: 2 links per area, 2 news posts etc.) and after its reviewed it could get added to the system.

Just <a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Emu64 Skin"> email me your source</a> for review and you're all setup.

Now go have fun with the different styles with the Drop Down dialog box to the right or top of each skin!

EDIT: The site has been reverted to the old system (no skins). It will be back shortly.

Great work Malcolm! Im definately going to use the blue one from now on. It loads faster over dialup and brings back memories, sorry RatTrap :)
