New Theme/Skin
Dear Admin,
Is it possible to have a new theme for the site ??
This is the default theme that comes with MyBB.

MyBB has got loads of themes which can be seen here :
http://mods.mybboard.net/themes

If you want I can also help with the theme customisation Big Grin

What new skin would you like to see here. I think the KISS funda works best. Keep It Super Simple.

RE: New Theme/Skin
I think a new theme wouldn't hurt. Why not try it on and see how it feels and looks, we can always go back to this original one if we don't like it. Kind of bored of looking at the same colour combo.

RE: New Theme/Skin
Well actually there are loads of exciting themes which we can try out.

What I would do is replicate the forum landing page on my local system with a few different themes and put up screen shots here.

Then maybe we can decide if we can actually have a new theme or not.

RE: New Theme/Skin
I think that's a great idea. Better to have some idea of how it would look like so that ppl can make better decision.

RE: New Theme/Skin
You would need to suggest a skin that you would like to try. Just saying the forum needs a new skin doesn't mean anything. Lets hear what you would like the new skin to be.

RE: New Theme/Skin
There are some technical aspects of putting a new skin. Not all skins work flawlessly. Specially the freely available ones. I would definitely require a new header image for the forum. So any graphic designers out there, may help.

Aritrim,
I know that all skins don't work falwlessly.
The CSS has to be modified as well as some code also would need to be tweaked to get the one that would work.

As for the header image if anyone is willing to provide a transparent png image, I think then it would help a lot.

Awaiting comments.. Smile
