This one doesn't look terrible, and has a lot of contrast. I don't like how it doesn't go full screen, but these are common now:

Not terrible... kinda mediocre:

Plane Jane, but not bad:

That's all I got for now.

This one is a good combo of light and dark, with everything in the "right place". I vote for this one :)
Not bad either. I like the one above better, but this one would do.

So there's my input :lol:

Nice! Thanks Jason.

abrasive - I don't like how it is fixed width. The icons are only so-so.
AeroBlack - Quite good. Love the icons! But it's not really any darker than the current theme, so I am not sure others will approve. If they did, this would be my choice. May have to change the blue highlights to be gold or something though.
Hermes - Just toooo boring. Would be depressed every time I visited.

Aeroblack is a little dark overall, just "feels" darker to me. That and the avatar and user info is on the left. I agree that Hermes is just a little plain and boring...

I havent had time to look threw the styles websites, but of the ones posted i like the aeroblack better than the currant one. It seems darker overall and the aviators on the left will rescue my poor brain from confusion... :lol:

I like the current theme the best so far, but honestly it doesn't matter much to me. If the theme changes to be any of the other suggested themes, it's fine with me.

With AeroBlack, I don't like the two-tone "rounded" backgrounds for the section headings and the buttons nor do I like the blue text used throughout but that's just minor I could get over it easypeasy if that's the theme people wanted.

AeroBlack is installed now. Check your user control panel. Let me know what you think.

The blue is definitely my least favorite part, though the layout is much closer to what we had so may be more accessible...

Well, I had to grab my lappy to check it out, but I gotta say, it seems like it fits this place better than the proFormell. I like it, it looks better than I thought it was going to. Maybe you already managed to tweak the colors a bit, because it doesn't seem exactly like it did last night... A decent logo up top and I think people would be happy.

It seems to have what most everyone was asking for, the layout is similar to the old, it has a bit darker look, and a bit more contrast.

Jason

I didn't even notice at first, but now that you mention it, yeah, I can see it. I like it just fine, but then again, I didn't so much mind proFormell...

The board does not seem to save the theme preference-- at least between my last two visits it reverted to proFormell, is that just due to the theme mods you made?

Not saving for me either, but the "gold" is subtle, not bad. Logo up top, and I think it will be ok :lol: you rock Tom!

It saved for me the second time I changed it-- and yes, I did refresh after I changed it the first time. I am guessing it reverted to the default because Tom modified it. I like it though, it is already growing on me :D

Much easier to browse...Plus the quick reply button is placed a lot better than before...it took me a while to figure where the quick reply was on the proformell theme.

Is it just my colour calibration or does the majority of the background for posts and content look pink to anyone else with the AeroBack theme applied?

Doesn't seem pink at all to me... At first I thought it had a light blue tint to it, but either I got used to it, or it was changed. IDK.
