The last one was rushed out to help us look halfway decent, but I've sat down with Classic and we've found a much friendlier and less clashy theme:
You can change your vote
or for an in between not too light and not too dark:

Kame offered a logo before I got a chance to try a new idea and it was pretty decent so we worked together on making this:

looks good but banner is still ugly.
-
We need your opinions guys, if you don't like it we'll work on another, but if you do like it let us know by voting :)
-
In all honestly, it might not be a runescape look-alike but its a pretty decent looking theme. The current one is a bit too dark/out of proportion IMO.
-
To reiterate my statement on IRC (in case you weren't there), I personally prefer light themes to dark themes; therefore, I voted yes.
-

I may redo it because the new color scheme lets me (the current black one is hard to work with, which is why its so simple)
-
Not going to vote as I like both of the themes, but I do have to mention that on the lighter version the banner is just ugly, so that needs a change. Other than that seems to be nice.

We have one in the works and I have a few ideas
-
Sorry but I really like the current one.
-
I like it.

Updated the new one
-
I love it but I diskike the banner!

The new one or current one, I edited the main post

Glad we could work together on the logo! Looks awesome now! :D
-
But I don't want the theme to look friendly. We're rebels after all.

I got a heads up that the black theme looks malicious or something lol
Other people said the dark theme hurts their eyes

Usually it is the other way around :D (Lighter should hurt eyes more), I'd love to see the lighter version with a new banner though.
-
It looks nice and tis good that its a bright theme but the white and blue makes it feel like a default theme, and it feels a bit boring imo
-
I definitely prefer the lighter colored theme. It looks amazing! Plus I feel like a light theme gives a more professional look then a dark theme.
-
I'm not into the light blue too much. I've sort of grown to like the current theme, though it is a bit dark. Good work so far, guy's.
Also, i think it would be nice to have a shout box on the homepage instead of IRC. A place where we can chat and help newcomers with questions. It would help a lot with communication and we wouldn't have to have tons of tabs open for posting on forums, chatting through IRC etc. It's just my opinion. I also don't feel safe chatting on IRC and the fact that it's a bit dull.
-
Great theme, I am not much of a dark theme liker any ways.
-
No thanks! I'd prefer another darkish theme if anything. When I'm staring at a white screen at night it hurts mah eyes! :'(
-
Its better for sure. Also, id suggest not having such a massive donate button on the main page because it might put some players off thinking this is all about the money, keep it easily accessible, but discreet.

I can see what you mean but we have a lot more control on the IRC chatbox and a shoutbox is just annoying on a site, its also never very good :/
-
Classic and I may look for a more gray/neutral theme to find a middle ground
I agree the new one may be too bright, but I also agree the current one has some ugly features (like the quote box and stars)
-
I like this one very much
-
That's better than this one but as I've said on the IRC a few times, it's not as much the colors it's the layout as well. The portal is a complete head-fuck looking at it, there's so much crammed into a small space. I suggest that you instead get rid of the portal and create a homepage that makes use of the SSI and then you can show the latest posts, members etc through that. You could then clean up the boards because some of them are ridiculous, for example the marketplace category. There's no need for that many boards. Those could be made into Buying and Selling and then you could split the individual categories such as food and runes into child boards, that would be a lot cleaner in my opinion.

updated with a new option, check main thread
-
I love it.
-
use olivia020 banner its wayyy better!
-

It reaches out to the audience better but the design isn't that great (but it looks good)
I am working on something similar though, trying to still have it be neat and professional
-
Definitely #1 ;D
-
If we're going to switch I'd say #1
-
Changed my vote. I like number 1. Not to dark or light. Great job!
-
bump
-
I really like them both. Good work.
-
I prefer the yellow one. You should have reset the votes though, the blue one has had more time to get votes.
-
the yellow one had alot of problems and was hard for ryan to edit D:

Ouch. Well then as a second choice, the blue one would be my favorite.
-
The blue one almost looks like a tech help forum and is too bright honestly
We're still looking though
If you have a theme post it here!

I like the blue one it's clean cut looking.
-
I vote blue.
Anyone that votes yellow is wrong

Ah well, I'm just not a fan of bright themes.
-
I like the Yellow one more then the Blue because the blue one is too bright and it hurts my eyes >_<
-
The yellow one had alot of problems we didn't expect
I'm probably going to dig deeper into the current theme we have and edit everything that sucks about it

When you hit the hard stuff feel free to ask me for pointers. Since SMF is my usual forum choice I more or less know it inside out.
-
If the yellow one didn't work, then why don't you try out the blue one? :)
-
I like coordinates theme tbh red is more of a rebel colour.

It didn't have all the setting fields, and it also looked really bad with ads and was hard to read
-
I pick the best themes (I found blue)
Everyone loves blue, just add both the yellow and blue and you can choose which one you want? (But blue would have to be default :D)
-
I voted blue.
-
Blue.
The yellow/black combo is not a pretty site.
-
I like the yellow/black one but it seriously needs a new logo, that yellow looks really bad.

Let me guess, you'd prefer something busy and complicated?
The black and yellow law rune is like our icon now :P Used on the twitter also

I don't mind the logo at all, I actually prefer a simple clean look. It's that the background is yellow and it really clashes with the look of the forums in that first pic in the post.

Oh I thought you meant the current one
I'm probably going to edit the current one heavily, we tried the new black/yellow one and it wasnt very great
-
I like the blue one way better.
-

I agree, I liked Coordinates as well. I like the red theme.
-
link to his theme?
-
its in other posts... its not even good and he found it online. Stick with the lighter themed blue/white themes. Why dont you upload the blue one you have so we can see how it is. This yellow one is ugly and probably deflects new players from joining.
-
Blue one is nice
-
If it is only between the ones on the polls then the blue is better, but the one Coordinate linked is much better. They are right, red is more of a rebel color!

Kevin was going to upload the blue one temporarily so I could poke around a bit with it
-
I'm down with anything. :P
-
Currently working on the blue theme
alot to fix up when I get home
Ryan enabled theme changing for everyone, go choose "silentwave" :)
-
I like the first one, it's easier on the eyes. The second one would hurt for players browsing while not in a well lit room.
-
The blue looks great.
-
Now that I think about it, blue does seem better
