No, you didn't miss an announcement
I liked the blue better also, but just couldn't support it. I would have had to make custom graphic buttons for it on an ongoing basis to continue using it. I had to get rid of it, it just kept getting further and further behind the red skin, I wasn't able to customize it anymore.
So I had this idea to get the same thing as the red skin, but in yellow, for people who thought the red was too hard to read. Well, the guy who does the skins kind of did a crappy job on the yellow - it's really bright yellow text, but washed out pale graphics. They don't match, and arent even in the same color universe as a flame yellow, which is what I expected. So I haven't fully implemented the yellow yet either.
I do plan on trying to fix the yellow, and making the graphics the same shade as the text or vice versa, and also making a new top banner that matches the yellow color. I haven't gotten around to that yet, however. So please bear with me.
The bottom line is that it's a tremendous hassle to try and maintain more than one skin with this software. There is no possible way to please everyone with one skin, however, so I was hoping to find a way to have two different colors but only have to customize one skin for the new software we add and changes we make. This has all ended up with unforeseeable issues and more work than I expected. Please use the red for now.
Thanks
