I dunno, there's some decent fanfiction on there.... by that arnoldo chap.

Nope, you had me then you lost me there.

the new theme is fine

The themes we have now are just free downloaded ones.

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

I'd enjoy a custom theme. Just nothing crappy, please

I may not know art but I know what I like!

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

I would expect nothing less.

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.

If you don't offer suggestions now, you have no right to bitch later.

I know you will anyway, but...

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

One at a time...

You deserve to be over-moderated, Arnie !

Any help would be appreciated.

Game player will make a good theme

or we can ask Hytopia

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.

If you want to give it a try, knock yourself out! We can have many themes, I'm not sure what the limit is.

I'll be back...

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?

What I had planned to do was find a free one with a format I like, then just change colors, font and art.

Ah, very clever

That does sound cool.

I've only ever done one theme image re-jig - but I can potato-chop if needed

Get some of Massblack's work with the Jacurutu font in there somewhere.
