How about a black/white/grey theme? Put an end to popups!

I want something sleek and clean to go with my new wallpaper. Can't you make a black/white/grey theme?

The default theme is not quite it, you see. Too much white, and not nearly as enough black.

So, please please please, admins, make a theme with some black in it.

Your eternal slave, Azazel

I like it, but it has too much brown/purple, and no white/grey.

I am now using the default one, for example, and it's great, but not enough black. Hell, even if you'd just replace the links (that have this annoying blue color) with black, and just made the whole thing with more black things, it would be great.

What do you mean?

I use MyIE2 (now Maxthon), Opera, Netscape, Firefox and IE (mainly to test my works) and all of it works more or less the same.

Well my experience is that IE renders pages much slower than Opera or Firefox.

What's MyIE2? Some kind of IE shell?

MyIE2 is a navigator that uses the IE engine, but it have tabs, mouse gestures and a lot of improvements. I use it because Opera and Firefox have compatibility problems most of the time (with pain because I love Opera)

Or to test the various styles, the main-page of the forums. There is a drop-down box you can choose different styles from. This only lasts (iirc) until you login again though. I don't logout though, so can't test.

Turn the colour setting on your monitor all the way down, or try getting a B/W monitor. Much easier for all the parties involved.

Grey themes would be good though. More themes in general would be good. At least for Plus members like me.

It's actually the other way around. MSIE has compatibility problems with official web standards from e.g. W3C. Unfortunately most people put it the other way around in favour of MSIE.

It's because "optimised for MSIE" in web-speek means "non-standard-coding".
