I've been using this "frosty blue" template for our forums for a long while. It's very nice, but it's a bit "cold" feeling. I was going to do a nice light green one for spring which I think is a much warmer color. Has anyone done a theme that would be similar to this one but in a light green instead?
It's a bug in the style preview script; that i've reported a bunch at the private beta site, but was told i was the only user experiencing the issue ...
All three of those links are identical (and blue) in 3 different browsers...

ok, i am not joking, it is a bug, they all show the default style to anyone who is not logged in to the forum...
I keep a low profile on BellaOnline, that site is about the editors not about me as the owner Heck I've been on this forum in its various incarnations for years and only just now decided to show my info

Thanks for the screenshots Mors - those are a bit darker / heavier than I was thinking. I really like the shaded effects here on this forum and just want them to turn to a light green tint. I suppose in my spare time I can sit down with photoshop and figure it out ...
Lisa, very interesting on how you displayed your forums on your main forums page. Is that a hack, or were you able to set it up that way using standard formatting?
Mitch - sorry for the delay. The main forums page is a "news post". It's just a posting. But what I did is filled that posting with all the links, manually. It works out very nicely and it means it's 100% customizable.
I'm still looking for a light green, springy theme! It just seems like a HUGE amount of work to figure out how to change everything to the right hue, so if someone else has done it already, I would love to see it. I like the "texture" in this light blue but it feels very "icy" and cold to me. I'd like something a little warmer and welcoming for our forums.
Maybe once I get this 7.3 upgrade fully done I'll work on that
If anyone is looking for this, I did code it up. It looks just like this layout here but with a light green tint to it. If you create an account on my forum, it's a preference now, so you can swap to that template to see what it looks like. I'm not sure that you can do that as a guest ...?
Then just 'view background image' on the four spots to grab the images!
every style that Mors has previewed comes up the same for me, they are all the same blue style
