I would like to have a dark theme, but it does take extra cash.
Is there enough people to round up donations for the expense?
I can get a quote for how much it might cost.

Can you not take the pre-existing themes and modify them yourself?

Responsive themes are heavy in weird CSS, often. They can be a pain to adjust without excellent tools.

Don't mind me... just thinking 2000's web design. :lol:

Yeah it's probably even more complex with the mobile stuff too.

Anyways options are cool. As long as the old themes stick around, more new ones can't hurt!

If I was skilled in that, perhaps. Anyone want to volunteer?

It's also worth mentioning that you'd probably also have to change the colors on all icons for it to look purposefully crafted.

Yeah, this works great on mobile, and while I'm a bit nostalgic for the previous layout, I like this one a lot on PC, too.

One request, though; would be possible to get a black version?

Prefer the standard default Glossy Blue
Gave the new theme a go and did not see an apparent View Active Topics option; the big negative for me. The text not separated clearly by border boxes either, but can see why to save space for cell phone screens. Agree, the new Racketboy V3 theme looks ideal for Cellphones and Tablets, but please keep the Glossy Blue for keyboard PC users.

See my mention of a dark theme above. There's just extra expense we have to consider.
