Anyone else notice the GM8 Skin runs significantly faster than the default black GM Skin? Could just be something with my computer. But I had GM slowing and crashing constantly, until I just switched to the GM8 Skin. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Well I have had GMS crash and quit responding a few times and started working again, though I don't remember what theme I was using.
I always use the GM8 skin know just because the menus don't lag and flicker when you open them like the default skin does.

I've noticed the GM8 skin has less flickering, too. I use the Default one because someone told me the darker screen is better for my eyes, but it's kind of odd that something as simple as a UI skin would (at least, appear to) perform better, hmm?
(Never experienced anything about it crashing, though.)

Using the custom skin I had for a while, I never noticed any flickering or lag. But switching back to the original GMS skin for tutorial purposes, it is definitely noticeable. It must have something to do with the way the skin files work. They basically act as an "top layer" for the actual default windows skin. Therefore, when using the primarily white gm8 skin, you have white on white (no noticeable flicker), whereas with the darker skins, it's drawing over the original white surface, so when you run, or there are changes in the program, it's going to have a bit of lag time between the actual window changing, and the skin changing along with it.

Maybe we could make our own recommended custom skin thread. Anyone knows a good source? everything on the official forums seems pretty old

Anyone knows a good source? everything on the official forums seems pretty old perhaps I can mock up a few skins myself, and create a sticky for them somewhere on the forums. Leave the rest up to you guys to create more. However, GM2 is apparently coming soon, so I'm not sure if anyone is really interested in this atm.
