For those of you who would like to choose a background, I now have six others- I've got six also waiting in the wings. They are themed by month. But that doesn't mean you have to wait until that month- you can use them whenever.
January- snowflakes as background, and a weird cat jumping in snow February- candy hearts as background, a joke about a Wii remote March- bunny with baby bottle and bonnet as background, snowman holding sign that says 'I will be dead soon' April- bunny with sunglasses as background, squirrels having a lightsaber fight May- Open Season bunnies with shades as background, deer in car with man on roof June- Cars theme- what else?!? Anyways, Lightning McQueen movie poster as background, RS pic... YAY!
July- December are coming up. Some will most likely feature movie things, but I will try to keep a sort of funny main picture at the top. I mean seriously- there's no way I can't have something funny up there.

Thank you! Notice that the last four months of the year have a Pixar theme...

November would be good for Toy Story... the original was released on my birthday lol Oh, another question: If people have finding the month to month skins too hard to read, can you also make some neutral coloured ones Kina?

Hm... I might change some things around then with these Pixar themed months...
Yeah- I'll do that. And I've still got the default, although I don't know how that one does with the reading, but I'll work on it.

Okay- I've now changed around some things, and made three new skins.
September now features a pic from Finding Nemo instead of Hopper, and an army of Syndrome as the background. You can tell who my favorite character from The Incredibles is.
For October, is now Ratatouille and A Bug's Life- the movie poster with Francis.
November is now Toy Story at the top, with a Toy Story 3 poster as the background. By the way, if anyone would like something they like as the thing for your birthday (say your favorite movie is Cats Don't Dance, and your birthday is in July) then you can ask for the main picture to be a picture from that favorite movie. Because foreignconcepts mentioned that her birthday is in November, and the first Toy Story came out then, I put Toy Story as the main. Any other requests for favorite movies and birth months will be honored, unless two people in the same month ask- then one will have to settle for background.
Moving right along...
December is now Monsters Inc and Wall-E. WOOT!
Okay, and there are three neutrals.
Neutral 1- SW Style: Features the Star Wars logo as the main picture with a Lego Star Wars background. The rest of the boards are a nice blue color, which I've already tested and it certainly isn't too bright. In fact, it's really calming...
Neutral 2- TF Style: Features a Transformers movie poster as the main picture with the Decepticon symbol as the background. The rest of the boards are again, blue. I decided that was a nice even color to stick with.
Neutral 3- POTC Style: Features a Pirates of the Caribbean CD cover picture as the main picture with a picture of Jack, Will, and Elizabeth as the background. Boards still blue.
I did those three movies because I was once a fan of all of them- and well, I wanted to. That way if you want a neutral and you like Star Wars, Transformers, or Pirates of the Caribbean, you can pick any of the three and still have about the same message board colors.
Again- if anyone has a favorite movie and want that as the main picture for their birth month, please ask. However, June is already taken by Cars (sorry June people, if there are any) and so is November (foreignconcepts got her wish). Also, September, October and December- I'd like to keep their Pixar theme. If you want a favorite movie for one of those three months, then please respect the Pixar theme and choose a Pixar movie. Of course, if it's Cars, then it might be really funny...
Here's now a list of what's already where for what month...
January- (my birth month!) Main pic from The Little Mermaid; the bat thing in the back is Fidget from a 1986 Disney movie called The Great Mouse Detective.
February- Main pic of two Wii remotes; background is candy hearts. Still available for a movie pic.
March- Main pic of snowman; forgot the background pic. Still available for movie pic.
April- Forgot both pics (god I have bad memory). Definitely still available for movie pic.
May- Forgot both pics again. Definitely still available for movie pic.
June- Cars themed- unless you want a different character, this doesn't get changed. Sorry to any June birthdays there may be.
July- Forgot both pics again. Definitely still available for movie pic.
August- God, I must stop forgetting these pics! Anyways, still available.
September- Finding Nemo main pic; army of Syndrome. Still available for birthday, as long as it keeps the Pixar theme (boy I sound uptight).
October- Ratatouille main pic; A Bug's Life background. Still available.
November- (foreignconcepts birth month) Toy Story main pic; Toy Story 3 background. Background still available if any other November birthdays.
December- Randall Boggs main pic; Wall E background. Still available.
Okay- hope you request something... it'd be cool!

Have fun- for some reason I've got mine set to default...

Okay, now instead of default being a black background with a weird sign, it's a tribute to Digit Cartman. I think I've told you that Digit, who was based on a family car of ours and made his story debut (first and only appearance ironically) in a chapter of the LIAH Trilogy story Life Is A Highway, 'died'. That is, my dad wrecked the real version of him, and he got totaled. So now, the default is a tribute to poor lil' Digit. XD
I'm gonna change a few things too... I think I'm gonna get rid of a few skins and change 'em around, so be prepared for a few changes. I think I'm going to make all the skins with a picture background and a picture at the top, and keep the type and everything sort of neutral, so that all are user friendly. I'll keep ya posted.

Hey, I hope you don't mind but I'm working on making a skin for my own personal use. I loved the Cars one but the colors and fonts were getting too hard to read

Okay. It's fine. Sorry about the font and colors- I was fixing the different skins one day and the Internet went down...
