    i much prefer it aalmakto, looks very well. usually i dont like red links but these are more of a dark wine, at least on my monitor. are you able to manually alter the css ?
    it might be good to include some options to change the theme back to the default for people who dont like it. didnt there use to be an option for doing that in the user profile ?

      Peace,

      Not fixed yet. Is it because I use Firefox?

      Peace bro,
      Sorry for the hassle. It is difficult to get themes compatible with all browsers.
      In firefox, can you go to Help -> About Mozilla Firefox.
      Mine says its version 3.0.4 and it loads well on mine. If yours is that version try hitting F5. If that doesn't fix it then may I ask for your version of firefox. That way I can download it and try and fiddle around.

      Red was an issue. I thought about making it blue, but that would be completely different from the old design so kept it red.
      Yes it is a CSS theme
      http//custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=968
      http//www.smfthemes.org/index.php?theme=654

      The option to choose themes is disabled for some reason. I don't know why, I emailed Layth to ask if he had a reason.

          you could just tone down the red links in the css. maybe it is a little bright on some monitors

          maybe #570f11 would be better

            I agree with dc2, a darker red would be better, since it's not as bright as the red used now, and it would fit in nicely with the rest of the theme.

            Thanks,

            Sarah

              Peace all,
              Thanks Supernaut )
              I am getting conflicting reports about the color. So if anyone else thinks the red should be toned down, now is a good time to voice your opinion. Like dc2 said it should not be difficult God willing. But I need to hear more views on this issue.

                I think the red should be made a bit darker.

                  No, not darker then it will look not red anymore. I think it now look more brown red on my pc.

                    Where's the "recent unread topics"? I am tired of reading the same post twice and thrice...

                      It should be at the top right

                          i dont get it. why is it madness. it has the exact same layout as the default theme but the colors/fonts are changed and the "show unread" and "new replies" links are in the right corner. to anyone who is having problems could i ask you to tell us which browser you are using ? is anyone using internet explorer 6 or below ?

                            It was not there before, I assure you. Today it's there. Now I can say I like the new layout. Thank you and congratulations!

                              I like the new forum colors.
                              I like the new pic too. It reminds me of the movie "The Celestine Prophecy."
                              Nice work!

                                    what's wrong with that?

                                    this red is too light

                                      Peace everyone,

                                      I agree that this forum now looks awful and is too harsh on the eyes. The previous colors were much easier on the eyes. I don't feel like visiting this forum much any longer >(

                                        Contrast this red with the red you call bright red.

                                          You are right, that red is awful, I am just saying a bit darker, come on, at least have a compromise between the two, please.
