Forum style

In another thread the forum style/theme came up and a couple people mentioned liking a darker them.
I am not particularly fond of this theme and myself prefer darker themes.
The problem is that there are thousands of different styles and I don't have a lot of time to browse through options so I thought I'd see if others wanted to vote possibly on a new default theme or at least pick a couple alternatives for individuals to select.
There are a bunch of themes here.

I also just used google images for a quick search to get some rough ideas.
I'd be pretty okay with something like these.

I'm sure I could find ones I liked more if I took the time but let's see if anyone else has any other suggestions.

This is a pretty clean theme with a dark background and off-white/grey content (good contrast). I like darker themes, but dark on dark can also be straining on the eyes too.

For example, I think this theme uses far too much dark. The dark blue text is especially hard to read (for me at least).

Anyway, like you said more than one theme can be added, so there can be something for everyone.

I totally forgot about this but maybe I'll remember to look into it a little more soon. Thanks for the bump and reminder.

Always preferred the lighter themes but that's just me. A darker shade of blue may be like the old forums

Something kind of reminiscent of the older C4AG layout would be cool.
The current layout never was quite as cool as that, but you know...
