UsingMac.com - New Skin

Even though this new skin can't be compared with the thinness of MacBook Air, at least it can be compared with the blackness of MacBook Black.

After several days of struggling and lacking sleep, our team finally complete this new black skin on UsingMac.

Nice skin, good choice!

One issue - please could you fix the RSS feed - I always get multiples of the same post in Google Reader.

Thanks!
Ed

I love the design. Nice and easy to read! I love the work you do on your site! I hope you get the things done you noted above done soon! Get some sleep!

Personally, I liked the other skin a lot better.  It was very minimal and very inviting.  I look at this new black skin, and feel a little intimidated by it.  The old skin just said, "Hey come on in, read a few posts.  We don't bite.  We make it easy to help you learn about using your Mac."  The new skin kind of feels the opposite of that and more congested than the old skin.  That's just my two cents.

I love it! Awesome, it really gives some flavour to the site, not just the white backround.

Steve 

I prefer the older skin as it was more of a minimalist approach and a lot easier to read.

Angel 

I also prefer the old skin. Much simpler. :(

Or maybe provide an alternate stylesheet? A white-gray-silver toned skin? :)

Great Job!
A lot of people resist change.
Looks great!

Ed, it's my fault to update the stylesheet after publishing it to this site. It multiplies the RSS Feed passed to your Google Reader. Fortunately, I won't make any changes again for time being. Sorry for the trouble.




Regarding to the change of skin, I've discussed with our team. It seems that they'd like to change to other theme after a few months passed. Thanks for all of your comments. I really appreciate it.

You're always going to have a certain percentage of users unhappy with change.

I personally love the new skin, great work--site looks very slick.

I love this new skin. It looks cool but it's true that not everyone is going to like it. My husband for instance would say that the background is too dark. He's a software developer and when it comes to computers, programming or networking he's very demanding and always complaining, saying things like 'you can't find cheap Cloud Server hosting", "this program needs upgrades', 'I don't like the new interface' and so on.
