Personally i'm not a fan of where the threads and stuff are shown it needs to be bigger but i could get used to it once its live i'd like to have the option to change back to this skin though. Also the av they use is really cool:

I very rarely browse the forum front page, so what really interests me is how the postbit is going to look! From the looks of it, we'll be going from blue and green to beige and orange. I'm not too sure if reading on beige would beat reading on blue, but that remains to be seen.
Hopefully we'll be able to make proper comments on it pretty soon, once it goes live.

It's different which I like as I think talkfreelance needs a change.

I personally like the design, apart from the fact that it is way too busy. Although, it doesn't strike me as what talkfreelance is. It would work much better on a different forum. However, i think people could easily grow to like this new design, designs take time to grow on people.

Now, after Big Zee listened to them, they turn to take this hypocritical stance and criticize the skin. While I personally don't prefer 4design.tv (I recommended somebody else), I reasoned it would be much more thoughtful to accommodate to the change and, if I disliked some portions about it, tell Big Zee about it in a constructive manner, much unlike what the majority of people have done so far.
After all, they did urge for 4design.tv and push Big Zee to spend x,xxx on a skin from them.

I seriously doubt zee used them on account of what the users suggested. Either way, this mess wouldn't happen if he didn't stay so damn secretive about it, but even after the last disaster he wouldnt do it. What happened is because of zees ignorance, not the users misjudgment. If we saw this skin in the early stages he could have fired the designer and saved lots of money.

Nice to see 4design did their research. 
It's not that bad once you look past the atrocious table headers.
As said above, it doesn't give that 'TalkFreelance' feel.
The current skin is going to be kept in the style switcher, and noone here is owed a new skin for TFL.
So just consider yourself lucky that the staff have gone out of their way to provide one at all.

What can I say that hasn't already been said?
Design wise, I can appreciate all of the hard work which has gone into creating it. Aesthetically, it's very pleasing. But when taking functionality and accessibility into account, I think it's let down.
It looks like someone has tried to squash to many items into a suit case, and everything just burst out. It's too cluttered in my opinion. You're constantly being distracted by all of the surrounding graphics.
I don't like the threads section either. It's just too hard to read! Everything has been given too little space to breathe, creating a cluttered feeling.
Over time, and after using it for a while, I think we will all grow to like it. Some people are stubborn towards change, but change isn't always a bad thing!
It's a lovely looking skin, and with some tweaks could work really well.
