Which skin is your favourite?

[baris]

Ever wonder which bootswatch skin is used the most on your forum? To find out you can run the below query on mongodb and find out.

db.objects.aggregate([
	{ $match: { _key: /^user:\d+:settings/ } }, 
	{ $group: { _id: { skin: '$bootswatchSkin' }, count: { $sum: 1 } } },
	{ $sort: { count: -1 } },
]);

Here are the results from this forum

Seems like you guys are fans of darkly, personally I am using flatly. Which skin is your favourite?

[cagatay]

darkly is mine

[sweetp]

I like Flatly the best

[julian]

Hah that's really interesting! If I had to guess I would've thought that skin uptake would be low, but that comes from Persona days when skin options were hard to discover.

Now that it's right in the sidebar I feel like more people will play around.

That said, I am partial to Sandstone, although I spend most of my time in the default skin

[phenomlab]

On Sudonix, I have disabled the skins in favour of the ones I've developed myself. Here, however, I tend to stick with the default.

[exodo]

No one. All of them are pretty bad and always some bug in colour layout.

[phenomlab]

@exodo I have to agree with this. It's another reason as to why I developed my own.

[DownPW]

Same here @phenomlab @exodo

Which skins have bugs on harmony? Let us know so we can fix them or report them upstream to bootswatch repo. When I find color issues I report them upstream and they are usually fixed https://github.com/thomaspark/bootswatch/issues/1236.

I like to use default and cyborg, especially in style, and the compatibility is very good now
