Working on new blue theme.  Not sure what to do, need a lot of cleanup.  But for now how is this for a start.

Lookin Good.

Yes but need a lot of cleanup.  Last post column where threads are listed is still different color and won't blend.  The bars at the top where each category is listed.  Make grey or leave blue and flatten so it blends with the rest.  Plus round frame area at bottom looks unclean.  Top and bottom are blue  but how to alter sides.  Or remove top and bottom.  Background what to do.  Lots of things need fixing.  Can't decide what to do.

I think it has potential, but you're getting too monochromatic imo. 

I would start out by changing the windowbg2 class to something different - flat w/no gradient if it were me.  Maybe a lighter blue, or if you're looking for something different, a brown or orange.  Just depends what kind of look you're going for. 

I would also do something with the catbg class.  Depends if you want to keep it rounded or just plain squares or something different altogether, again it depends on you. 

If it were me, though, I would stick with the "flat" look that you've got so far and stay away from gradients.   

That's what I would start out with anyway.

No I like the gradients.  Gradients look better.  Just need a  good backgorund and maybe a border arouind the middlw if I can figure out how to do that.

lol this is why design suggestion threads are tough - there are lots of different tastes.

[confusimo]

It is tough.  You can't please everybody.  We need 1 good theme that everybody likes.  That will be the day.

Ok, Ive finished.  I'm ready for release.
