Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

'Tis the season... For new skins!

Yes, that's right, we've got four new winter skins! Well, technically three new skins and one updated skin from a few years ago.

So without further ado...

Our new default skin is Dashing Through. There's nothing corny about this fabulously frosty banner by Gin (Gus Lissington).

Next up is What Freezings I Have Felt. An appropriately bleak yet subtle in its winteriness banner from MJ (Elias Grimstone).

While it may be our last new skin it also happens to be our first dark theme. It was brought to my attention that a dark theme was something a lot of you wanted so here you go! Now I will say it's not quite finished yet, unlike the other skins I needed to invert pretty much ALL of the colors and then I realized I wanted to change half of it back because the white borders were overkill. Anyway, it's a fiddly thing and I will be making some adjustments to the shading and I need to update some old coding here and there in places like the CD to make things readable. I'll be doing this over the next week or so as I find time.

Now as to the aesthetics of our new "nightmode" skin If This Be Magic... you'll find the talents of Lady (Faustus Prewett) are to blame!

N.B. The [D] at the end of the name indicates it's a dark theme and will probably be very helpful if/when we have more of them.

Which skin have I revived as number four you might be wondering? A little bird told me it's Seasons Tweetings! I haven't contributed anything but coding and color schemes to skins lately but I think my skills peaked back in 2016 with this one. No, I'm not tooting my own horn, this just happens to be the only one I'm not ashamed of.

Riddle Me This!
I've got a little challenge for you all! Seeing as I'm still banned from running the Winter Labyrinth and can't break you with my cryptic challenges in an official capacity. Two of these skins have names you aren't likely to find on a greetings card. Aside from this tenuous link, what do they have in common? The prize for guessing correctly is bragging rights until the end of time.





Thanks to Bee for this magnificent set <3
