Hmm? I dont get it... The grey one is the current. The redish/brown one is a very very very very old one from the land before time.
The 2nd one is more modern looking... the old one looks like the old win 2000 type of...  ::)

Might I quote that I said before it can be changed from the profile page.

Yea, neither of the two SMF themes are what was default before. For instance, I didn't see a "see unread posts since last visit" button. Also, I hadn't read this thread because I thought the only changes were for the forums headers available. So I didn't get to vote on this - I like the old blue theme myself and want it back. At least as an option!

Oh, the buttons!

Well, that's because I toned down the color of the textarea and input areas. If you'd like, I can change it. DO note that it depends a bit on the browser how it looks. I suppose I can fine point the css so that it only affects the text area, the options menu, and the text inputs.

I like the new theme.  My only complaint is that I can't tell which topics are sticky and which aren't, since they both have (as far as I can tell) the same color.

Edit: Now I see the little push-pin icon on the sticky topics, but still it would be easier to tell at a glance if they were a slightly different color like on the old blue theme.

Yes a option for the old theme would be good.

To do:
fix bullet lists
fix buttons color/style
allow default theme (are you sure you arent allowed it???)

//EDIT: You CAN use the old theme. I think you guys weren't listening to me before. Just go to Profile > Looks and layout and at the very top it lists the current theme. Click change and choose the theme you want!

Jeesh... :(

The links aren't very noticeable, you could easily miss a link, why can't we just have blue links that turn orange when you put your mouse over them or something?!

None of this stupid feminine color scheme crap, I like the nice colors, but I'd rather have the old theme if it works better.

Well, Omega said he tried that, but then he said it did not look too good...
"feminine"...what?  :| Don't be...  :|
Anyways, yeah, too bad I can't even find the old theme...  ::)

Eh, whatever, it is good enough for me...unless you really need it, then...
Maybe, if he is so Omega or whatever, he will create a separate theme, just for you, eh?  :O  ::)

EDIT: Oh yeah, he also didn't change it, because this theme was supposed to really look like the old old original theme...
  ::)
But right now, whats more important is the ability to change back the original/ "Vanilla...?" theme...  :|

I don't know what all the OT was about, but back to what I was saying. As others have noted, there is not a theme available for the version (I'll call it Glest/SMF Blue) prior to the current default (Glest Green).

As stated, the new default isn't ideal for everyone and some of us would like the Glest/SMF Blue back - as an option at least. Both the other two non-Glest options available under themes are not the Glest/SMF Blue theme. They are both radically different in the "physical" layout of the forum, as well as visually different.

I for one would greatly prefer the Glest/SMF Blue as an option.

I ment that was the option that made it this theme.

And yes Glest/SMF Blue as an option would be good.

Its looking really good now! Thank you very much for your work Omega!
Someone said that the sticky posts are not obvious enough. Maybe you can change something like making the font color more golden/yellow?

Not very important, but I want to mention it:
The links are better now, because the normal fontcolor is a bit darker, but maybe its possible to make them more obvious too? For example with underline, other font color or font ?

Yeah and there is still that bug, where you click a topic, for example, this topic, and then you are supposed to get the the "newest" post right? you don't, for example, it went to the 11th page of this topic...
Hmm... nope, that's not it.  When I click on the "new" button, it just takes me to some random post in that thread, somewhere toward the end but not to the unread post.  It's not really that important, just a little anomaly I had noticed.
