Remember that this is the basic SMF template. More than likely Iago Et. Al. will reskin it before too long.

Don't necessarily bet on it. :)

YAY!  SMF 2.0!  I've had it for awhile on my forum.  I think it runs more cleanly.  Thanks, Iago, et al!

Yeah, spam control was going so horribly on the prior that I felt it was time to go to 2.0. Helped that they very recently released the "final" version.

As to the theme thing, I could be convinced to replace it with an existing, proven, 2.0-compatible theme -- but I don't want to go hunting for it.

(I'd prefer to preserve the dark text, light background thing and avoid any switchovers to dark background, light text stuff. Dark bgs can look cool but are murder on the eyes long term. At least eyes like mine!)

Make suggestions with links to the SMF site's listing of the alternative theme, and I'll consider it. (No guarantees, but it'll save me the hunt.)

 ;D

Edit: So following the "doesn't burn a hole in your face" requirement, how about one of these?

A little rusty: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2446

Simple black with a little greyscale: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2355

Simple black, white and blood red: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2412

Red and white, similar to the front page: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2380

None of these seem quite perfect to me. I still miss the subdued browns.
----------------------------

Or, if someone was so inclined and had way more spare time than they knew what to do with, here's a "how to": http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=349446.0

I'm flattered to see a suggested change followed through. I like it, but I'm just one. Other people should compliment your hard work.

I like the old look better because I don't like change.   >:(    jk  Give me a couple of days and I will complain if it's the old way. I actually don't mind this at all and it seems like the font is bigger so it's easier on my tired, sunstrained eyes.

Thanks.
