Mystic is a chameleon skin: You can put any background in it and it will take the style of your background. It in fact comes with 22 custom-made backgrounds with 3 nice styles: gaming (17 gaming backgrounds, from WOW to Diablo to Assassin's Creed), material (leather & metal) and some lightning and smoke ones. Also comes with custom forum icons, you can put whatever icons next to yours forum for a professional look. The skin also has A LOT of nice effects. Gaming backgrounds include: World of Warcraft, Diablo, Halo, Avatar, Starcraft, Resident Evil, Assasin's Creed, God of War, Socom and Batman.

Looks amazing. I just think this would be better with the default background as you can't see through the categories. Also, the sidebar is way too transparent.

You can put any background really. The sidebar has a fade out / fade in feature.

Is there anyway you can add this skin to this website? I would really like to see how the forums work. I would love to buy it but it does look confusing to me a bit but awesome !!!

well done yet again.

Brilliant skin!

Bought it yesterday, very aesthetically pleasing! A pleasure to navigate and a treat to the eye!

As mentioned this has many uses with the whole background image trick, I've played with all the default ones and they're all gorgeous!

Only issue I have is the redirect screen, the central box seems to run off the screen (Please wait while we redirect you). Other than, prepare to way your forum users!

Hey guys,

I'm highly confused about the structure of the index page; Olivier is way too original!

What we are seeing in the screenshots ("A Test Forum", "Another Test Forum") are categories or forums?
If they are categories, how would we see sub forums?
If they are forums, where are the categories gone (haha)?

I actually got 21 forums in 6 categories... this skin wouldn't be suitable (21 big blocks)?

Are the forum names clickable? If so, are we moved to a page where we can see sub forums?

@Olivier: Ayant acheté le skin Underground (warrockshop.com), j'aimerais vraiment voir un preview live!

Any chances you may do custom background images as well?
