Nope, not dead... just dormant. I'm busy with work so no more official skins since Journeyman 8 posts ago, Myk is also busy with real-life stuff as far as I know so not much work done on the skin migrations (not that I'm aware of at least), and there haven't been any user contributions.

Glad you like it! I'm planning on creating some more when work clears up again, but no idea when that will be.

For now here's just something small I've been meaning to post for a while. Its just a replacement for the 'missing image' picture matched to the default skin and not looking like a multicolored land. Hopefully at some stage Myk or one of the other devs can make it so that if a skin folder contains an image by that name it will override the picture.

that would be a good idea!
replace that image for any of your choice...

Just wanted to give a heads up that the upcoming Forge release will support switching between skins/themes from any screen and have it take effect immediately without needing to restart Forge. You will be able to do so from Layout > Theme in the main menu or via the combo box on the Preferences page of the Home screen.

EDIT: This support is now live as of version 1.5.0 that was just released.

I called it Mythic Rare because is based on Mythic Rare colors.

You're welcome. I'm working on next skin.
Today I created bg match and (probably) loading image.

I want build this skin with future mana symbols.

I have a few another ideas to creating next skins.

[1224Deko]

Here you go... Next skin, it's very similar to Simpson Theme(similar font etc.)... previously it was to be completely different skin, but it looks like it looks... I don't like this skin but i spent on it a little bit time ... I used future mana symbols, it doesn't looks good, also texture isn't perfect (i made 3 versions, previous versions was better but it was to light), there is some another minor fault, i don't want wasting time to correct it but begin work on another i hope a better skin...

Could anyone explain to me how to create a new skin?
I've made a custom background image, but I don't know how to edit fonts, windows positions and colors...
Please help

EDIT: My image looks darker ingame, is there a black layer overlay?

just put your font in skin folder named font1.ttf. to edit colors you must edit sprite_icon.png - edit column in top-left - you could use transparent layer to be them transparency(that's what your image is darker probably)... unfortunately i could not find any style.xlm or other file to edit positions, rows, positioning another images etc. but you can do it easy ingame as you wish....

somewhere earlier in this topic i saw psd file... so maybe this help you...

Thanks a lot for your answer buddy, it definitely helps!
