Forum Theme/layout question

[dubbleUJay]

Guys, does SMF have any other colored themes except the 4or5 "blue" themes available that can be installed?
This is probably petty, but my eyes get tired of black on white&blue!

There are, I think, plenty of possibilities.

With Admin's blessing, perhaps a couple could be added for you to choose from. However, in the pursuit of sensibleness, I'd suggest only 1 or 2 new themes... any more & the maintenance becomes cumbersome, not to mention the increased risk of breakage when upgrading or adding new features...

I suggest this thread be used for people to post up links to themes that tickle your fancy; followed perhaps by a vote (unless one emerges as an overwhelming favourite).

e.g. there appears to be in excess of 1000 here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/

Thanks Ade.

Just looking at the "Most Popular Themes" on that link, the "Dark Light MC" looks OK to me as it has 4 individual color settings as well, like a 4in1

I like the original theme, if only one can change the color like in the one above!

I had a quick tryout of the Dark-Light theme on my test forum; unfortunately, it's not "plug & play" as it uses graphics for the title. So someone (me, probably) will have to make a "Micro Co-Generation Forum" logo graphic, in each colour...

It may be after christmas before anything happens...

Ade, if I can get the different sizes or templates for the banner(s), maybe I can help put it together in my spare time by collecting some pics/drawings, to give you a head-start when you do get some time?
