WANTED - your vote on themes for the forum!
saint:
The default "Curve" SMF theme really bugged me. I hated the look and colors. However, I'm getting feedback that not everyone likes the YabbSE theme either. Please take a moment to check out the themes currently available, and vote in the poll as to what the default theme should be. Remember you can also override the default and use any of the available themes.
To change your theme:
Click the Profile button on the menu bar.
Choose Modify Profile - Look and Layout
Click the "(Change)" next to where it says Current Theme: Forum or Board Default (change)

I tried Back in Black for a while... ended up going back to Curves.
saint:
I tweaked Curve to have the PM notification show up at the top where it says your name like the YabbSE theme does.
Le Chuck:
Well me and 5 other folks really appreciate the work you put into Back-n-Black. :applaud:
At least all my forums are starting to look the same, makes things easier but could be troublesome at some point...

I chose "Curve" in the survey, but I wanted to clarify my answer.
Curve is SMF's default theme from SMF 2.0 forward. So it will the theme most likely best supported/tested by future SMF 2.0 mods.
For this reason alone, I think it's in your best interest to stick with a Curve-only policy to make maintenance and support easier going forward.
However, with that said, I think that you could (should?) offer several "palette swap" versions of the default core theme for people who don't like the blue-on-blue-on-blue of the default Core theme.
I can't point you at specific download locations for palette swapped Curve themes, but I'm sure they must exist. As I mentioned in another thread, I did something similar with the old Core theme in SMF 1.1.x.
At the very least, you should probably offer a black-text-on-white theme (like default Curve), and an inverted white-text-on-black Curve theme.
If I get some free time, I might try my hand at making an inverted green and black version of the Curve theme since I'm going to need it when I switch my forum to SMF 2.0 in the near future... http://www.tankadin.com/forum/
