As you have seen, following popular demand I have made another skin, this time with light background and dark text, and with a wider board.
Everything is still work in progress since I worked on this forum only for 3 days.
I'm open to suggestions on future other themes (I plan to make a skin for every faction eventually) and how to optimize the existing ones.
You can chose your favorite theme (including the dark one we had yesterday) going into Profile -> Edit Profile -> Settings -> Forum Theme.
Please, use this topic for everything related to the forum look, so we can keep everything organized and I have easier time looking for your feedbacks.

Thanks Aegis!
The brighter theme is so much nicer on my eyes.

Just an idea. How about a SFW theme with out the pretty pictures. Asking for a friend...

The "Freeforum Basic" isn't SFW enough?

I like the dark theme. However, I keep on reading people's signature after their post. The box's contrast makes it quite difficult to differentiate between an actual posting vs its signature.
The same applies when drafting a reply from a quoted post. I can't see where my reply is suppose to start and have responded in the quoted section wrongly multiple times.
Changing contrast is something to consider I believe?

for the quote issue, consider switching off of the preview tab to the BBCode tab, which has the more classic veiw and should be easier to navigate

I'm digging the light text on a pleasantly dark background. Especially at night. Thank you! It's something I missed from the old-old PP forums.

This theme is much nicer than the darker one and easier on the eyes.

Aegis, Thank you for the work you've done. I actually like the light text on dark background and will continue to use it because it's easier for me to read.

Thank you all.
These days we are all busy trying to make this forum work, so themes have shifted a little lower in priority, but when I have time I'll retouch some minor issues stil remaining in the existing themes and I'll create more new themes, hoping to let everyone enjoy these forums as he prefers best (we know that different people like different things, so the more options, the more everyone is likely to find something that suits his tastes).
Meanwhile, please continue to express every feedback/critiques/ideas about the forum look in this topic, so I can keep track of it for when I have the time to work on it.

Made it over from the friendly suggestion of Aegis!
I LOVE the dark theme, as its much easier on the eyes. Yet I love the "Widened" view the light theme offers, and the "Lorma" Horde Banner that goes along with it...so im torn! Eeek!

The Dark theme is going to get some adjustment as soon as I have some time, and that will include make a better banner with the faction logo instead of the text name.
I'll also eventually make more themes, both dark and light, for the various factions.
