I'm not sure if this should be here or in section. What would you like to see theme wise? Particular colour that's unused in themes maybe, A micky mouse theme, these theme ideas should be original and not such as "i want this theme but in a different colour"

I'll give you an example: I'm a fan of the navy and things naval, ships etc.. So i'd like a navy/cruise ship type theme. Think Pure Shores/Mixed with the official "talk like a pirate day" theme on here as the background with the catergories themed like an old wooden ship.

What about you? If you had the worlds best designer making a theme for you, what would you like to see?

Colors I love used in themes tend to be - light greens/lime greens, cyan/light blue, and browns, sometimes touches of pink but I don't like a lot of it!

Themed wise I've enjoyed the Harry Potter ones or the Seasonal theme ones. I would love to see more seasonal themes!

A battle with two colours like different factions. Thinking MMO type style. :)

When designing, I try to use color psychology. Here's a good read:

Having just upgraded my PC to one with a really big monitor I'm finding it hard to find themes that look really good - everything looks too wide.

So I'd like to see a theme specifically designed for bloody great big monitors!

M is for Mod

I have a really wide monitor. What works for me is to float my browser window and make it a good viewing width. That leaves other desktop space for IM screens, notepad and such. There aren't many sites that actually look good at that super-wide resolution. The only program I use at full screen is Photoshop.

I'd like to see more themes give options for seasonal changes. EF started something like that with her Fall 2013 / Winter 2013 duo. That way, a board could adopt a theme style and keep their site looking the same, but freshened up for each season.

That's what I've found myself doing, just feels a bit strange after so many years of always running my browser full screen and using a second screen when needed. That's the problem with getting old, adjusting to change is hard Posted Image
