I really like this theme. Thanks, Bikken.
But it seems that i can´t "adapt" the new logo from the psd-file correctly. (see screen)

Bikken, it's a lovely theme and we've already downloaded it for our test forum but I have a question.
While the general layout, etc is great is it possible to make the centre section wider and reduce the width of the margins? There is a lot of wasted screen there and some people find that annoying. If it was possible to have a clickable margin width a la Bloc's Mesh theme that would be perfect.

I think that now SMF's themes are getting near to the levels of IPB or phpBB.

Congrats for such a good theme!

Wow! That is an excellent theme you've done there, and with tinyportal combined it looks superb :)

Keep up the good work! ;)

Woah! Very nice. Been a VERY long time since i've seen a good theme such as this.
The only thing php can't do is tell you how much milk is left in the fridge.

@ BT-loader: Is that in IE ? Try to save your logo as jpg and change logo.png to logo.jpg in style.css.

@ antechinus: You can edit the width in style.css. Search for #wrapper and change width to whatever you like. Use either px or %.

Yes, i looked at the new theme in ie7. It seems to look better in ff (as usual).  ;)
I´m gonna try to re-make and save the new logo in jpg. Thanks for your reply.

Can we use buttons instead of text links?

Hi Bikken

Just a little note ... it doesn't notify admin on the frontpage that there are new member registrations waiting for approval. Anyway to add that?

I've got so many memberships pending for approval ... and I didn't even realized them until I went to the registration side in the admin panel.

Thanks!

Seconded. It may be elegant but its legibility is borderline, which should be a consideration for a message board.
I don't mean to be rude as it really is a lovely theme, but having been running a selection of themes on our test forum I have noticed that many themes seem to be designed purely for looks without regard to actual usability.
I would ask theme authors to pay more attention to combining stylish looks and/or a sense of fun with clear, legible text. Quoted text is often a particular problem as for some bizarre reason many themes have it in smaller text than the actual posts.
This criticism is not just aimed at Bikken and is intended to be constructive. Not everyone wants to or is able to recode themes to make them usable. Please consider.

Goddam! I found it and it works! My first ever SMF code edit. Cool.
I set the width to 1100px (up from 950) and its great. Thanks for that. Now, about the font size.......
