Hello

We apologize that nobody can't comment since only club members can comment right now. Anyway after a small shutdown with the release of Dragoon you may be asking what happened to us.

 Elegance ~ White Sea ~ on Beta Stage:

After a long time trying to develop a white style transparent skin we've ended with this corious skin which bring awesome colors to your forum.

The White Sea maintain the layout of the Elegance Series but now the Core increase the effectiveness through the use of large design elements. Some important features of this release:

1. 100% Pure CSS - 0% Tables
2. Organized CSS files
3. 3 Styles
4. 2 Deep Styles (Now you can pick 2 types of background per style. (Simple and Artist)
5. Twitter Integration
6. SEO Friendly Layout
7. Ultima Framework Based
8. 960 Framework (Pre - Integration)

The release date still undefined. For avoid future issues we're still testing some features. Anyway it will be released soon.

The Ultima Framework

The one behind every new skin. The Ultima Framework provide global features that active hidden options on our skins.

Right now i can't provide to much information but at least i'll show something called the "7 Wings Ethereals".

(Note: They had space, but the description save the text as raw and clean all the HTML)



The Ethereals provide optimizations "per" level. Each level can affect the skin for good or for bad.

There're 2 types of Wings. The Relative which's safe and can be loaded with other relatives wings and the Unrelative that cannot be loaded with any other wing.

The unrelative wings seems insecure but don't get confused. The last 2 wings provide external loading which load all the javascript files and css files even more small and compress than the minified version.

Other features of the Ultima Framework are the Developer Heaven which provide tools for developers, the SEOInbuilt, Special Features and Custom Codes which allow to add custom codes to our skins for example the  and other ads systems.

Burning Eve, The Custom Skin and the New Skin.


Our mission's provide a friendly interface to any experienced and non-experienced user without edits, just upload the skin and have fun. Each month we develop new methods for search that purpose but how far it could be...

First we have Burning Eve. On the White Sea if someone looks the source code you'll notice about several grids that we've added but those grids just won't go away or at least don't expect to add another grid without effort.

Then we just discovered how to apply grids and let the skin to organize them, so just imagine that you've the entire skin divided by grids and you decide to save some space or even disable the entire design... even better... imagine adding new grids for add new sections. Yay, it can be done.

This feature and others will be included on Burning Eve and yes. No more transparent layouts.

Now we've the Custom Skins Cases. We've developed several custom skins but we never wanted to show them because if someone payed for them at the end is their skin not our so we never publish them here. Now that changed. We're finishing a Custom Skin that's using the Ultima Framework and the customer granted us the permisson to showcase that skin. So you'll see something awesome soon :)

At the end we've the New Skin. Can't give to much details. It will be released before of Burning Eve (and burning eve will be released this month). So expect a big surprise soon.
