Just got back from a holiday so only just seen the theme, and this thread.

My opinion on the theme: it's not great.  With all due respect to Guido who is a fantastic designer, there's something just not quite right about it... partly to do with the fact that it's just very blue and partly because the combination of colours makes some bits hard on the eyes - not drastically so but when you're using it a lot it's harder to take for granted.  I think part of it may be that the link colour seems to have not changed... I think making that a more contrasting colour would do a lot of good.  On the whole it's a very good looking design though, don't get me wrong.

By the way, a few pages like /images/, /images/smileys/ and 404.php need updating to the new theme.

They're fine... I'm not changing them. They were never meant to be matched to the board theme anyway...

Right, so what images are we gonna use?

It's going to take some getting used to, but I like it
Great job everyone

Chris: I like your images better than the ones we have now; if you want to create a totally new MP! 3 look, change those buttons too

I like KeyStorm's ones the most! Small, small in size, fit the theme, indeed not round-shaped, it's very clear what which button is meant to do even without reading the text... Only he must do something about the e-mail icon, it looks real bad

For the rest, I love his icons set

Youp, thanks. I still have to find a better font and improve some things, keep posting suggestions, Shady Pure_BY.

I can't actually judge upon mine so accurately as other would.

And thanks for the thumbs-up

I like it and havent got a problem with it,dont get rid of it!

It would be nice to have a selection of themes on the website and the forums,maybe 1 for each season?, the new blue one reminds me of winter.

Keep up the good work
