New site themes - please vote!

The new Royal Flush theme is now the default for visitors and members who haven't chosen their own theme.

There are still some issues with the formatting of headers in the Garage but that will probably fixed in the next release version 4 of the add-in.

We'll get a free theme if we buy one more (3 for the price of 2). Check out their website and see if any catch your eye. Each theme has a live preview demo forum so you can see what the home page, forum and blog sections look like.

I checked them all out and these are my favorites.

Shiny Blue (their latest theme. Bright, cheery and well... shiny!)
Skylight (light and airy theme which reminds me of the Saab advertising style)
Aesthetica Red (something bright and different from blue you see so much already)
Underground (dark theme and easy on the eyes)
Totally Pro (neutral, a bit plain but still interesting)

Please vote for your favorites or suggest other themes that are not mentioned. You can vote for multiple themes.

my vote for shiny blue, but original theme is good enough for me.

This new theme is kinda nice. Just a few tweaks I'd like to see though:

- Have the user name, title, etc. aligned left not centred next to the avatar. Looks a bit unbalanced.

- Bring the Random garage back to the top... nice to see a selection of Saabs at random without having to scroll to bottom.

- Maybe have some other way to show unread posts in the forums when on the main forum page. So not use the red keyline/stroke as it makes it harder to see which forums have new posts since last visit. Perhaps find a way to tweak the flag colours? i.e. Have read posts use a darker blue and yellow... unread posts are a brighter blue and brighter yellow.

Nice overall colour choice though.

- The alignment was bothering me as well. I have to dig into the code to see what needs to be adjusted.

- I moved it to the bottom because the blue header of that widget doesn't really match the other forum headers. But I liked on top as well so I'll move it back there.

- I was playing around with those read/unread flags. I first tried a grayscale flag but that looked a little bad bland. Especially because we don't have that many new posts in a day. I thought the red surround on the flag was easy to see but perhaps that's just me. I'll have to play around with the lighter colors some more.

I was also thinking of perhaps darkening the header (with date and time) of each post in a thread just a little bit. Although the lack of contrast makes the thread easy to read.

Thanks for looking at these details.

Found some more room in the footer to include some extra cars. Space that was lacking in the header.

I always liked the Swedish theme, but the link color is a bit too close to black, so I switch between Swedish and Original depending on whether I am wearing contacts or glasses.
