Ok so I know we just recently switched skins and trust me, this is staying up for a while, but the thing is, it takes a long time to make a skin and I like to work on it a little bit at a time. So as you can see we've got this nifty little beauty and the beast theme going on here. So what I was wondering was what movie or maybe movies you think would make a good winter skin. You can nominate as many as you want say why or discuss it. I would like to see what you all think. It doesn't have to even be a movie that takes place in winter for the whole time. Maybe the movie just has a lot of scenes in cool colors. So I would like to here what you all have to say on this little subject of skins. You can also include links to codes, images, and backgrounds or anything else you would like to see or you might find helpful. We also need a song as well so don't forget about that. this is a link to a test board that I will be working on if you want to see the skin as it progresses or if you want to be surprised just don't click it.

You can do "Nightmare Before Christmas". This picture could be really cool to uyse or any picture of Jack in Christmas Town...

While nightmare can be nice, it kind of is more of a Halloween more then a Christmas movie I've found while watching it, plus as stated, the skin sort of has to last all through winter, and I don't want to have too many Christmas elements to it, because Christmas is only at the very beginning of winter.

Bambi? Maybe scenes from winter. Like him and his friends on the ice. Or him in the meadow and whatnot.

I'll take a look around and see if there are any good quality screencaps.

I just thought of the "Beauty and the Beast" sequel because it takes place during Christmas and in the winter but we just did Beauty and the Beast. What about Pochahantas? Doesn't part of that take place in the winter?

Cinderella has a lot of blue, which is nice and cool and wintery =] I'll try and think of some other ideas too.

The second Pocahontas starts in Winter so there's some from there. I'll take a look at that. I'll see about Cinderella pics too. Are there any codes you all want to see on the board?

Maybe The Fox and the Hound can work. A part of that movie is during the winter.
I also peeked at some Snow white screen-caps who might be perfect for a winter skin. These images have a kind of cold look coming from them. I don't know if you understand what I mean, but they could work for a winter skin.
As for codes, there is one that would make me happy, one I always use on my own sites, which is the justify code. (click me). I just think the post look a little neater, and if someone disagrees or when someone doesn't like it, he or she just doesn't use it. It is optional, which I like. Because I know some people don't like it.
Which is also a good thing to use is a css system, that way you can modify things faster, I mean the colours. You can even make the links show in only upper of lower-case. Though it might be a little difficult f you never worked with it before. Oh I saw you have a little css coding in your coding already. -.- Well, here is an example of the css I normally use (the site I show you is not my own, the coding is similar though click.
And maybe something for like this click which is a way to modify the profile on the left. Maybe you should just check it out and decide if you like it of not
Well I think I have put up all my suggestions, when I think of more, and I might have you never know, I will post them!

Thanks so much Ben. We already do have the justify code though. It's that little blank space in the drop down menu.

Alright so I found some pictures that don't have anything to do with the winter theme you want but they could come in handy for some other future skins. They're from a Vanity Fair shoot from like a year ago...

We also need a song for the categories so if anyone wants to suggest a disney song that would be great too!
