Okay, so as you've noticed - the gray skins are gone. I had a hard time getting those to work.
What's in their spot is a blue skin that either has a white background or a black background, depending on people's eyesight. You can see that by going to your settings and finding "Black / Blue" and "White / Blue".
Here's the question: Do you want to have the black/white skins stick around? Note that there would be two themes with an individual color, so there wouldn't be any debate as to if you wanted other colors. (I'd make more - greens, reds, oranges... Whatever.)
If there are any other questions, pop them in this thread. I want to know what you think, besides your answer.

I don't mind them sticking around. I'm usually more into the darker schemes but the white-led ones are pretty nice. They tend to look better IMO.

Added some gray skins (see everything starting with "gray" in the list of skins).
In order to get the gray to work with the colors of the special ranks, I had to tweak the colors for all of the skins. Therefore, the special groups pop out with bold colors that work with every skin. In the gray, all members are in 999999.
Let me know what you think about those. I can always go back and edit those some more.
(This is not a statement of "I've deleted all of the original skins", because I would be lying if I said that.)

Now this is a statement. I've decided that those skins don't gel well with the skins I have made.
If you want any of those colors back, let me know.

I'd like the old blue scheme back please. The white is too bright and the black and gray are too dark. I wish there was a perfect medium, which the previous blue scheme was in my honest opinion.

The white just clashes badly imo. I think I could live with this grey one, but having the blue back should be an option; agreed with SweepFan.

The current white-type schemes are waaaaay too gaudy, and the grey and black ones too dark (though I'd rather them be too dark than too bright).
I do think the older themes should be brought back as an option, at least the blue and red ones, but with the new banner and icons. Is that possible?

What I can do is change the backgrounds of the schemes to match the colors - yellow skins would have yellow, blue with blue...
I can't bring the skins back (once they're gone, they're gone forever), but I can make somewhat of a happy medium.
EDIT: Blue skins now have all-blue backgrounds - the same color as the original. The schemes I had originally had were colored backgrounds with black on white for posts. Change up to the blue to let me know.

Okay, the white/blue scheme looks nice. Thanks for all you do, Mandoli. That was very helpful. *Thumbs up*

Definitely more comfortable with this variation.

Having toggled between the three {color}/Blue settings (since my favorite color is blue), I have to say I like the Gray/Blue and White/Blue styles. Both seem to mesh well together and provide a good contrast from most of the forums I frequent, but for the time being I think I'll stick with the latter for the sake of the black text/white post familiarity.
(Don't get me wrong, though -- I'll definitely be using the Gray/Blue style at times.)
