It may be worth creating a fresh post to get attention from more people. What issues are you facing? Do you have any experience with CSS, or have you started looking at any online guides?

From:

Okay, we'll try here then if you can't create a new post. Can you explain what you want to do? What do you want the skin to look like?

From:

thehauntress

okay. sorry again for the trouble im really new at this.

okay so i just wanted the skin to look like a mixture of navy blue as background, deep sky blue for text, red fox for the header and gunmetal for the accent and i know all the codes for those color so that was sort of easy i guess. anyway, uhm, i also like the text to be in bookman old style and for tab to work while writing the story. and for the title of the story to be red fox color as well. so yeah. that's about it i guess.

Basically like this but with tab and that color change for the title:

Font:Bookman Old Style Percent of browser font size:123% Work margin width:1% Vertical gap between paragraphs:2.5em Background color:#151B54 Text color:#3BB9FF Header color:#C35817 Accent color:#2C3539
