Changing Skins

[Don Cuevas]

How do I change the "skin" that appears when I log in? I've had this fast loading, plain one for some time, and I might like to try on some new skin.

Where do I go to change it? It doesn't seem to be in "Profile".

Is there a FAQs? Oh, I now see a tiny, nearly invisible "Help" button. I'll try that.

Don Cuevas, it's fairly straightforward. Before you follow the steps below, you may want to peruse the catalog of skins.

Click on the Profile button at the top of the page.

When it opens, click on Modify Profile.

Scroll down to the section called Account Preferences.

Go to Select Skin and use the drop-down menu to select the one you want.

Go to the bottom of the page and click on Modify Profile.

==============================================

This brings me to a question of my own, which is: are we all seeing the same things on our respective monitors?

I use the "Motor Court" skin, which is a lovely rich biscuit tone, with subtle green dividing bars and red for the lines and highlighted script. However, on a few flat monitors I've used, the skin is a horrible gray color, with its complementary colors also negatively affected.

Do most people check their monitors for trueness of color reproduction? With all the wonderful photos on this forum, it would be a shame not to be seeing them in their true states.

===============================================

One further note about skins: if you like a skin but the background image makes it difficult to see the menu at the top, simply hold the left button of your mouse down and float the mouse across the menu. The words will show up as white on black.

I see I failed to answer your question about FAQs. Please check out Port Authority -- the first menu listing at the top of the page. It covers what you need to know about maneuvering around Any Port.
