Style switcher
As a part of the new design tuning and bugfixing, I have added a style switcher feature to all newly designed pages. Simply find the links Castle and Simple next to To castle style at the top of the pages and when you click them, the style will be instantly changed without reloading the page. This function is equivalent to the View / Style menu at Firefox and Opera browsers (I guess that Internet Explorer does not have it yet) and since it's been added mostly for testing purposes, it does not save the last chosen style information anywhere. At least not now.
I have also seen some reactions to this design problematics and there is an interesting question whether the users could define their own stylesheets and share them with other users, as an addition to the official BrainKing's style repository. Well, I think it is a good idea because it's always better to have more options to choose from. If we combine the number of supported languages with the upcoming system of visual styles, BrainKing could become the most customizable game site ever created and everyone should be able to find the preferred configuration.
One more breakthrough - the list of unresolved bugs has been reduced to only one page (or three quarters of a page at this moment). It means that the improved bug tracking system was definitely worth creating.

Castle style is very cool! I don't think I'd use it all the time instead of the simple style, but it's nice to have, anyway. I love to customize my computer, and the idea of a customizable web site is very appealing. I've never seen a web site that's really customizable; the best I've seen are preset color schemes on forums, and even that is usually not available!

Hey hey hey .... Cool. You rock Fencer. I hope to see BK putting an end to all other game sites and rule the world of online turn based games.

I want a Roller Coaster themed skin!!!
That's really awesome, Fencer.
For now, I'll probably stick to simple style. I think the castle pages take longer to load. (Or is it just my imagination?)
Are the numbers that used to be red, going to be red in the new versions? I notice a couple only have red parentheses. (In the Menu)

The castle style should take a longer time to load only for the first time. Then the style (including all pictures) should be stored at the browser's cache and loaded locally.
Yes, all former red numbers will become red in the new design as well. I haven't finished it yet.

One other question...
With the current BK, I am able to have the font style that I want. (I can't remember where now, but there is a setting that chooses the font style I want to see at any website that doesn't specify a font style)
For some reason, I am addicted to Comic Sans (I think that's the name). I notice that on the Simple style, that isn't my font now, so you must have specified the font for that skin. (I don't recall on the castle skin)
Would it be possible for us to choose the font style we want? (Or have BK go back to not specifying the font, so that those who chose different can still see what they saw?)
