About the new themes: I would SO love to use the Galaxy theme but unfortunately the middle part is very dark and I need a light one (for years always using the Space theme^^), there is no way to change the bg color of that part, right?

The birthday theme! :'D obsessed! This will be my new permanent theme♡

Happy birthday, CS! Quite enjoying the new site skins. Though I'll most likely stick to Dark for now, I think I like Galaxy the most out of the new batch with its nice, dark purples.

The pets are pretty nice too, though I'm not sure if I'm the biggest fan of the rat edits. There's something about the front legs that's bothering me in particular, but I can't quite put my finger on why. (I hope this doesn't sound rude... sorry.)
As someone who is a fan of the old rat lineart, I would prefer it if we didn't replace it with any of these "cuter" edits we've been recently having. It's nice to have at least some linearts here and there that stand out by not just being conventionally cute animals with big eyes. Its goofier look compared to other pets is very appealing, in my opinion. I feel like I end up saying this every time we have a rat edit; terribly sorry if I'm being obnoxious to anyone by being a broken record.

This thread is making me feel like a weirdo for continuing to use desktop skins when I'm (rarely) on mobile... lol. The mobile layout feels way too big/zoomed in (hard to explain... I guess 'claustrophobic'?), and the bright green stings my eyes. The desktop layout is also just way more familiar to me, so it's far easier to navigate even on a smaller screen.

I tend to stick to the normal green theme except for events, but the adventure theme is just. staring at me. it's so awesome-

OMG! I ADORE the CSOutrun theme - Seeing some members here mention vaporwave/synth but I'm too old to know who/what that is lol HOWEVER I DO remember the games 'Outrun' (and then 'Turbo Outrun') the first time around so when I saw the theme it brought back so many great memories! <3 <3
Wow, Codex and Nick - You guys got it SPOT ON!
Thank you, and Happy Birthday Chicken Smoothie!

I think there's room in the pool for all the different edits we've been getting, and I would be sad if we only had one! If dogs can have so many tweaks (different ears, different tails, different mouths) other species can too. As someone who loves rats but doesn't always jive with the OG lines, I still prefer them over some of the edits that have felt a little too... hm, 'mousey' I guess? (I'd also love to see a 'scruffy' edit like these Moonflight ones show up again!)

Love the new site themes! I’m gonna try and use Galaxy but it might be too hard for me to adjust to lol but if it is I also LOVE the birthday theme!!! However I play on mobile 90% of the time so unfortunately I won’t be using them often lol. Also I saw someone mention that the space theme came from the 2016 space event? I had no idea I wish they did that for the summer events more often!

And the birthday pets are great. I love the balloon animals. All I can say is thank goodness I did not have to trade for the starry or rainbow foxed because people were being AGGRESSIVE in my trades to get them.

The new galaxy site theme will be my new standard, it's so pleasing to look at <3

I absolutely adore this outcome 💜
