Hi all,

This is to inform you that I've decided to change CHF's default skin back to the old blue skin. The reason is because I have realized that most old members are still feeling more comfortable with the cool light blue skin. The cool light blue skin gives a more comfortable cooling atmosphere when browsing through CHF and makes it more 'attractive' to stay in CHF.
The old logo also gives a better 'branding' as most of the members are familiar with the old logo of CHF. The blue skin also makes reading the information in CHF easier.

The new orange brown skin is still available, if you like it. You can choose it based on your preference. All you have to do is to go to the bottom left of CHF and choose the following:

One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. If you are not simple and frugal, your ambition will not sparkle. If you are not calm and cool, you will not reach far. - Zhugeliang

Merci GZ, I think that this one is much more nicer than the previous one.

Texts are much more readable and the whole design doesn't look over-decorated.

I agree with Liu. Actually, the brown is rather reminiscent of, well .... you wouldn't want me to say.

GZ, the good thing is that you left the two skin options. So people can pick and choose whatever they like! :clapping:

Thank you, GZ, for giving us the option...though I freely admit my heart lurched when I signed on this morning and saw the blue! lol

I've gone back to the tan. The brightness lifts my mood. ^__^ Excellent job, GZ.
Cheers,

May you enjoy good health, harmony and happiness.
