    We need some new themes for the forum, because I hate the current one.
    Just saying. =P

    We tried that before and it didn't work. We are open to suggestions of alternative themes however.

    I cannot do one, but seeing this one is very white, we could also have a dark one. :)

    We could have as many as people want us to, so long as they provide them, we had a look around and didn't find anyone that was up to RomUlation standards, and we don't exactly have neither the time nor the skill to make our own.

    We have, naturally, been through the majority of the "official" SMF themes, and they really aren't very good...

    They're usually just different colours and shades of the same graphics and bars.. The theme on GMForums is amazing though.

    Yeah, I would prefer a darker theme.
    So, don't you guys like the themes? Eh, whatever.

    Maybe someone could make a custom theme?

    That was talked about above mate.

    I would've preferred a darker theme myself, but this one isn't bad and I can't make one that's better so I can't really complain either way.

    I do agree that most of the "official" themes are really ugly though.

    Although it looks like the colours just changed, so it's just a colour variation of the default SMF, which is bloody ugly. Please tell me if this one is custommade, the only difference I see is the gradient in the bars there.

    Off topic issue guys, anyway it's related to the look & layout "theme" of the forum:

    Before the ESA forced shutdown, the Forum's clock (the one at the very top), used to also show the day of the week, like "Saturday September 06, 2008, 10:51:34 PM". But since the forum's revival back in November the day notification was no longer active. Any chance it's only at my end?

    it's not, I'll look into it.

    It's part of the users setup I think.

    Well it's showing the day notification again :D

    Thank you seph & loony

    there is like a box with dots and you could select witch colour.

    i find dark theams hurt my eyes, this is one of the only forums i can spend any length of time on as it is easy on the eyes being light
