Most of the credit goes to Cobalt 2.0 phpBB theme/template by Jakob Persson (See footer below for link). I just slapped it up as something different.

Also, credit to CptnObvious999 for the logo.

When I finally get off my lazy butt, I will create my own theme. But I figured it was time for a change. Maybe I'll change the style ever few weeks or so.

May I humbly ask that you at least allow me to go back to the "boring" default? I tried to change my skin, and it still comes up "new." I find the new look, um, "hard on the eyes."

Pretty slick, though it does take some getting used to. I've grown accustomed to a Charcoal theme myself, so this amount of color is almost overpowering. But yeah, change it up every month or so, just for the Hell of it. Maybe some users will contribute slightly customized themes, much like CptnObvious999 contributed the logo. I'm worthless when it comes to Gimp, Inkscape and Blender, so maybe I need to get out and hit the tutorials on the web.

heres the new logo with blue test to fit the theme.

Also if bandwidth isn't too much of an issue you could keep it as a png to keep the pretty transparency ;-). Also there should be no manually specified width and height of the logo so it doesn't get stretched out. If you want the xcf GIMP file or .blend file contact me with your email and ill send them to you to modify.

Done. Didn't really want to do that in the first place.

The new logo is there. CptnObvious999, it still was a png, I just got lazy and renamed it instead of changing the code. Now it is all proper like.
