Who uses what?, Blast informed me in Leeds that you can use different styles, I use the "Official Heartland theme", I've just had a look at the others and they're all pretty cool 8) , escpecialy "Alice" :von: , but the "change" was to much for my wee brain to take, I'm at the age in life for change :roll: , so, what do you use?.

I had a wee go at all of them and I think 'cause I started with the Official Theme that one is my favourite.

Plus I'm completely colour blind and it's the easiest one on the eyes....

currently using the "Summer (Beta Version)" but before that i always stuck with the default one (mainly for debugging - so i knew what the majority of people were seeing in case of any problems)

other than that, i've been known to "dabble" with industrial groove machine from time to time.

The official theme is much easier on the eye IMO. The other themes are just so... black. :eek: :P :lol:

Dr Jeep is the kind of black that a 10-year-old T-shirt goes.

i.e. dark grey. ;D

I guess that makes Summer the colour of such faded shirts when you get bleach on them while highlighting your hair.

Not that goths do that. Nope, no way :von:

Someone playing silly buggers with their browser's defaults, by the sound of it :lol:

ahh, manually over-riding the default style's css with their own?

Guilty as charged. :lol:

Nah, that's too difficult to do by accident ;)

I'd guess that it's something along the lines of the theme developer assuming black and white to be the default colours and thus not defining them explicitly, causing the browser to use its default values of blue and red instead.

Edit:
Or not, if that's what you're actually doing :lol:

i'm probably least happy with dr jeep. the header image is a bit s**t :urff: :oops:

likewise, i'm not massively keen on alice as its basically just a black and yellow/gold version of the standard phpb "subblue" theme :|

i've actually been thinking about a new design of header for summer, which when done i might tag on to the top of dr.jeep too. just to make it a bit nicer :)
