I find that it takes a day or two to become properly accustomed to a new skin... ...Default...b ...Zambuka blue...b ...Tarawera....b ...Zapwoman....b ...Mackenzie....b ...Underwater ...Moooooving on ...Deep Ocean ...Jan-Dan......b ...Sunset......b ...Tropical Island...b ...Flamme...b Default... It's been a few weeks since i've tried default , and geezeus...looking at it critically , with new eyes...it is so clear and basic , and everything of the site is clear and clean...it has certainly "got" something alright...I don't think we would ever want to change it...the original proboard site basic is the only other one...which is tropical , with two pictures i think...?...by memory..Yep...Zambuka site certainly is good looking ;D...We can all be proud I credit Mama with our basic skin...she played and fiddled to get it as it is ???Thank YOU Mamahoney Zambuka Blue.... As the name suggests...you need to like the colour blue...but the logo and background are stylishly swirling and eyecatching...The logo is courtesy of Gleekybabe , created especially for Zambukas launch...(thank you hun ) The new buttons really bring this stylish skin to life Tarawera... Is created to commemorate the June 1886 Tarawera mountain eruption , which destroyed our world famous Pink and White terraces......so we have hints , of steam , water , and mud , combined with a contempoary artist's impression of the midnight erupting mountain...Today , Lake Tarawera is a world famous big trout fishing habitat... This skin is very easy on the eyes and flows well Zapwoman.... This has evolved from Catwomen originally , and was/is my personal favourite...has a pastel series of colours , which run and flow together , and is also a very clear skin to view...but it is not widely used...but whenever i go back to it...I fall in love again...Waireka/Bella designed the front page logo pic which she dedicated to Zambuka , for which we thank her very much...again...i like that also...very much...it means a lot to me... MacKenzie... Lovingly created by Ancient1 , to commemorate his beloved South Island Wild tussock , mountainous windswept terrain...Wild country , with the legend of a man MacKenzie who once roamed the land and mountains...inland central South Island...cold and tough country , but beautiful and fulfilling...breeding a tough brand of New Zealander.... ...The Mount Cook Lily...very beautiful , protected and rare ,combined with the snowcapped mountain southern alps backdrop, prepares the scene for this visually stunning skin reminescent of green pasture , blue skys , mountain lakes and dry windswept tussock plains...all come together in this superb Zambuka skin...A beauty to behold ;D To Be Continued

Jan's man.... For the sporting lover...A1 created this skin at Janny's request and we see Jersey No10 wearer , with no jersey on...great background of the mighty All Blacks , and the buttons blend in well to lift this skin...A very different skin that will take some getting used to...Print is in reverse colours...Must be the Bledisoe cup the All Blacks are holding Underwater.... Put your diving suit , mask and googles on for this one...are we in a sheltered lagoon , ? or a swimming pool..? It's hard to tell...everything is Aqua blue or green with shiny watery yellowygreens picked out here and there...visibility is good...cooling colours for the hot summer days

Flamme... Warm orange/red/yellow and black soot...lovely flame background with smart buttons , clear, colourful and warm...highly recommended Moooooving on.... For anybody wanting rural NZ , with green pasture , wildflowers , pine trees and dirt roads...An Irish persons dream...Green dominates...any greenies..?..Take your time...These skins grow on you Tropical Island basic... Sun , sand , clear blue water , palm trees , beach and a coral reef...the shining whiteness of island beaches , isolation...A lovely cool blueness underlining the Glare from sun and sand...As with our Default skin , Tropical Island stands out for it's stunning simplicity...try it for yourself ;D

Sunset... This is bright...but subdued...warm and glowing , as the world changes from day to night...long shadows are cast , the exuberance of youth , that adult anticipation..such is our twilight skin called Sunset...another personal favourite Deep Ocean... Not for the faint hearted...This skin really gives you the dark ocean depths feeling with prowling maneating great white sharks at depth...in their element..deep dark blues , darker , and blackness...the Zambuka site shines in this setting Another Ancient1 creation

Easy on the eyes, easy to follow. I love some of the others but if you've got a million windows open and multi-tasking to the nth degree, simple is best!
