Inspired by IPB themes in general, I like how clean and professional they look and I wanted to give it a shot. Thoughts? ^.^

It's looking quite nice, Gabe - I really like those error and notice messages (although I'd argue that error should be red and notice should be yellow). Things seem to get a bit bright in the content of the board, though, so I'd darken the links and regular text. Other than that, I'm not a big fan of the H2 and I believe you could do something a bit better with that. Good work. :)

Thanks Cody, and should I also darken the table itself? Also, if you look closely the text is 'wobbling' if you will, I changed no settings on the text or the font, yet it's randomly differentiating

I'd say the table background color is good as it is - just the type inside of it needs to be darker.

I'm not sure about your wobbling problem, but I'd assume it's something to do with the font. If you point out to me exactly where you're seeing the wobbling I may be able to deduce it. :P

if you look at the 'u' on Community in the h2 it's smaller than the n beside it, and the 'o's are doing it a lot too :/

Would be cool if it gets coded. I'd use it.

Looks good. I don't like the hard gloss on the general chat icons but that's probably just because it came with the set. The general chat icon looks almost like it came from a different set then the recycling icon. I think the background is a little too saturated for the theme and I'd maybe change the general chat smaller icon bubble to blue or yellow but other than those complaints this is a very nice looking theme.

None of those icons are from the same pack, I just used them mostly as place holders :) I'll try to work on the background a bit more today. Thanks!

I'm not a fan of the text spacing, and the satin on the category H2 looks somewhat out of place. I also think that the shade of blue you used for the background also would look better if it was less... vibrant? Like a more greyish blue. Just a personal preference. Good work, anyways, keep it up! :)

I updated the background you should check it out :r . Anyway, what do you mean by text spacing? And without the satin it's just a rounded rectangle with a gradient D:

Looks better. By text spacing I mean the space between each character. ("H e l l o") Just reducing it by a little bit should work out well. As for the H2, I'm not sure why that matters. :P You shouldn't use satin for the sake of using satin. If you look at the IPB support forums, they managed to pull off the design quite well without trying to make it look very complex.

Ah okay, well the text spacing is all default, and can be fixed in coding :P As for the h2, I made the second one without a satin and I think it looks pretty ugly, but I'll let you guys be the judges of that

It definitely looks better without the satin. You don't need satin on everything.

This is looking really good as a whole though, you're definitely improving. Code it.

I'm sure you can figure it out, and that's what the support forum here is for. ;)

The only way to get back into it is to start coding again.
