Now it is much easier to read, colours are more balanced, and the forum looks better. Which is all subjective to a degree, but years of working with documents, webpages, and related; I have a good idea on what is professional and not (which is most of modern web design) and easy to read or not. This light theme even if not your cup of tea, shall not annoy you with the colour scheme and distract. Of course, there will be somebody out there that will vehemently disagree with my design choices.
The dark theme, is going to some time in the future, and I will have to think on the best strategy to align the two and figure out how SMF does it.
Iam a newbie on my own site. :D
