Re: 2018 Update Chat
4-21-2018 - The messages in the old skin had a jagged appearance which I postulated as Josh's attempt to break somehow the grid (or hatch pattern which gives the skin its name). I can understand his desire to do so, but he also used curves so when I made the fix to eliminate the "jags" I also added a small curve to each section to give them a separate distinction. The result is a cohesive whole which I hope is following the spirit of Josh's original design work.

Re: 2018 Update Chat
4-21-2018 - I did my best to correct the spacing in the "post-contact" line and added the box and hover codes for new elements implemented since the original skins creation. Then I added a tiny margin to the top and bottom of a users Avatar picture to open up the space between it and the text.

Re: 2018 Update Chat
4-22-2018 - The original coding shows a black border around the BBCode and the message form action buttons, but a parent element in the code was overriding the declaration.
I like hovering effects, so I reversed the parent/child order by giving those buttons an orange border when the cursor moves over the selections.

Re: 2018 Update Chat
4-22-2018 - The padding and font size in the quote block used the default CSS settings which are below optimum today. I corrected those declarations, and I think that does it.

Re: 2018 Update Chat
Looks nice.
I'm so glad we were able to save all of the skins. Can't wait until they're all done and ready for members to use.

Re: 2018 Update Chat
4-23-2018 - Update observation.
By changing most of the images into linear-gradients, this skin now has more flexibility when it comes to user modifications.
For example, if I wanted to change the background, I can do so without worrying about breaking something else on the board's layout. Under the old codes, I would have to change about a dozen other areas to "fix" what I had messed up by using a different background image!
