Sorry, I have to write it.
I think all skins for CKEditor 3.x looks terrible! Especially, blue lines and shadows of buttons and useless space between lines in tools menu.
I would try to make my own at the end of September once I finish my current projects.
Please give me support. Tell me that you feel the same way.

Re: Skins look ugly!?
I feel the same way. I'm resigned to using FCKEditor (w/ the Aluminum skin from here) until CKEditor gets itself a non-ugly skin.

Re: Skins look ugly!?
However, the rest of your new sites CKSource, CKEditor etc. look great. Well done.
Re: Skins look ugly!?
Anyone know if I can just replace the images with the ones in the previous version? Just by replacing the sprites.png file? Then it would be ok.
It works great, but the design really needs an overhaul...

Re: Skins look ugly!?
I disagree, i think the skins look ok.

I have however changed as many icons as i could for the kama skin so that they use FamFamFam icons (silk is the set i think)
Update, the link died before so i'm uploading it again: http://www.filedropper.com/icons_3
I think it makes it look a bit better
Re: Skins look ugly!?
I am very curious!
Re: Skins look ugly!?
I've only changed the icons, nothing else to do with the skin, most of the icons are the same they are just a bit nicer
Re: Skins look ugly!?
News skins doesn't correspond to what i need, so i change some style and icons in the "v2" skin to include the new CKeditor in my production.

This is the result :
Thank to Ckeditor team for their great work. Ckeditor is a powerful and adaptable text editor.
Re: Skins look ugly!?
Care to share it?

Re: Skins look ugly!?
Why not
You can download it here (33.1 Ko)
Of course, you can use it as you want. It's just a modification of the v2 original skin.

Fugue set icons.png replacement
I thought the icons looked pretty ugly too. Since I love the Fugue set by Pinvoke, I rebuilt the icons.png file using icons from that set. Feel free to use it with a few notes:

I noticed that the new icons look terrible in IE if zoom mode other than 100%.

Re: Skins look ugly!?
First you have found that the problem is only when zooming in IE, I think that no one else previously stated that.
And the the fact that the 2003 skin fails but v2 works it's also strange, as they are quite similar, but this should help to find the reason of the problem and a fix.
Re: Skins look ugly!?
Hello guys,
Sorry to resume this post, but I find that even dialog boxes seems worst than old FCKeditor...
Look at these screenshots and judge you what looks better:
http://www.ivanhalen.com/editor/fckeditor.png
http://www.ivanhalen.com/editor/ckeditor.png
The fields in the first screenshots are "more aligned", there's no need of the horizontal scrollbar and buttons have more "air" between them...
Is there a way to resume these old dialog boxes in the nes CKeditor?
Thanks...
Re: Skins look ugly!?
Just for information, i update my skin for the last version of CKEditor (3.2 rev 5205).

You can download it here
Re: Skins look ugly!?
Hi guys,




I don't think the skins are up to much but I would rather the developers focus on the bugs and not the cosmetics.
Knowing how long it takes to create a CKEditor theme from scratch, I can't imagine that creating an elegant default theme is very high on the agenda.
I also don't expect a community effort to generate a really good one is likely because of the retailed support aspect of CKEditor.
Anyway, here are some screen shots of the skin I created for Pixie using the Oxygen icons.
The default view :
Click on the plus sign to the right and the advanced tool bar pops open :
I also themed all of the dialogues :
Looks good in full screen too :
WDYT?
The source is in the Pixie CMS google code repo and is shipped with Pixie 1.04 or greater.
(On a side note, this phpBB theme needs something like :
adding to it's css.)
Thanks,
Tony
Re: Skins look ugly!?
I can't see your screenshots?

In /skins/*skin name*/editor.css, put position:relative in the divs that contain icons.png.
The problem is that IE8 has a bug where setting a transparency filter can cause the transparency in an image to be lost when zoomed. There is no reason I can see to have a transparency filter in the div with the icons, but the div inherits the filter from parent elements. It's not enough to change the opacity, the filter itself needs to be reset, which we can do with position:relative.
Does this work for you? I guess I should file a bug report so they can fix it for everyone, but better wait for feedback.
Hope this helps,
Kirk
