I'm talking about a custom theme, made for us.

Re: Theme
That's fine and good. Just remember, though, that we will laugh and point and make loud farting noises if we don't agree.

Actually, I prefer to offer insightful criticism and helpful advice if asked, only for my thorough and well written post to be ignored just before the lights go out. I call it Hypureaucracy

That's why I'm asking before we do this.

I know you will anyway, but...

Re: Theme
I actually don't like the way discussion of the new theme is being done. Most of the suggestions suck and I feel that the project is being run by committee. We need someone to make a forum skin who has a strong creative vision and who won't kowtow to the demands of the money-grubbing elite that run this over-moderated message board. Our rights are being egregiously violated in this whole affair! It's the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!
Anyway...
I prefer lighter colors but not opposed to moderate tones. I don't like dark boards. They are very overrated. Although a light colored Caladan theme, a desert like Arrakis theme and a dark Giedi Prime theme would be cool

Re: Theme
I've never built a theme before, but I'd be willing to help with what I can. I have a basic understanding of Photoshop and I'd be willing to learn some new techniques if you need some help building stuff.

Re: Theme
So, how do you build a theme for a message board? Does the software itself come with theme builder or do you have to build all the individual graphics in Photoshop and then dump them in a folder somewhere?
