I think it's time for a new color/theme setup...checking a few out, especially those that are mobile friendly (as the forum software already is)
So don't be surprised if you see a few new ones in testing! I'm looking forward to your feedback. I'm sensitive to what people have mentioned in the past...fonts that aren't too small, nor too big...so...fair warning

What happened to the blueish theme I saw yesterday,
I thought you were going to let them stay up for a while.

The template did not have the options to edit the image or even the path. I thought I could override that editing the CSS files in there, but in following up on discussions related to it, that has been a major frustration for others, too.
Here's the rub...the more I have to customize a theme, the bigger hassle it is come upgrade time.
My goal is to have a clean interface that's good on the tablets, smart phones and computer screen.
I'm not crazy about all this white real estate this theme has, but it's a variation of the stock ProSilver one.
I'm also contemplating going into a orange/black sort of color arrangement, much like the Where Nerdy Is Cool logo uses.
But...I'm open to feedback!

What if you just add a single color tone darker to this one.

Another good idea.
Colors are a challenge. While everyone can agree on some things, when you go from blue, light blue, white, dark...everyone's perception is different.
Ideally I would like the user to select a color/theme they like individually. Still looking!
