DON'T PANIC. THE THEME IS ON OVERRIDE. I'M SHOWING OFF THE NEW THEME.

ALSO, HUGE THANKS TO MICO FOR THE IMAGE WORK. COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT HIM.

Known issues:
- Not enough color difference between certain text colors.
- Form controls still Metaknight-ish
- The css sheet still needs some work.
- The code .css might not match the theme, that part of the css needs worked on.

Sudden neon-ness definitely scared me for a second. I was trying to make sure if it was some special day or not.

Also, that Kirby sitting in front of the computer screen towards the top-left looks posessed.

I really like the blank stare Kirby has with the glow of the screen reflecting upon his face.

The theme override is now off. For those who want to keep that theme, it's in the list under Retro Kirby, and I'm going to do some additional css tuning, so don't worry too much about how bright it is.

I know it's early days for this theme yet, and there's still some work to be done, but at the moment, it's hidious. :shock:

Wow.

...

...

It's very green.

Sarcasm aside, I'm not too sure about the spinning "Post Reply" button. Plus it's a little hard to read against the background. Maybe make the text lighter, bigger, or give it a background.

Still, I was getting bored of the current themes. This will make a nice change.

EDIT: Egh, changing back for now, there needs to be more contrast/saturation between the background, text, headers, and links. Otherwise even if you can stand the brightness, it's hard to tell what are links and what are underlined text.

Wow.... O.o
It feels hard to find my way around, and to find out what these different icons mean..

as much as I like the color green, I may not use this.

This theme is pretty amazing. Not at all what I expected, but pretty amazing.

I agree that the links need to be differentiated somehow, and the port reply button is awful, but overall the theme is great and everyone who disagrees is crazy.


Edit: Oh, @$#^, I just noticed that the little poster info area.. thing over on the side (Does that.. have a real name?) is different sizes according to what's needed. That's pretty completely bad. Still, the table is so eye-stabbingly green it's hard to actually notice.

Actually that postinfo sizing is not only a direct result of the user's avatar size but it exists in any subSilver2-styled theme. (IE: Everything but prosilver).

Look what I'm getting at here is whomever designed the original theme needs to be shot on the groin for that.
