They're actually talking about an old theme used on this site for a long time that was never released to the public.

This one.

Exactly,
that theme!

Yes I like it,
I think this one is very ugly compared to that one :P

Firstly, well done to all the SMF team for pressing on with version 2.0.

I won't say too much more about this new theme, as lots has already been said. Apart from the fact that orange links on a blue to grey faded background are... lets call it difficult to read. Otherwise, I will bite my tongue, as I am sure that the technology and features underneath SMF 2.0 are going to be brilliant. Themes are there to be customised anyway. :P

My main point is that there are many display issues that I think are specific to the Safari browser. I haven't got time to list them at the moment. I appreciate that this is probably a low priority, but if anyone is interested in a Safari bug report, let me know.

I think it would look better if the search and news box was below the menu. The menu's border looks strange when put up against the dark background.
The Search box should always be present. You shouldn't have to manually make it visible.

I agree with whoever said it before, the locked topics are displayed badly. They should be less emphasised, not more!

has anyone said that, my reply button moves when I click it, and I have to click it again?

I keep my fonts big and fat too, with firefox at 15, in case that is why

Yup, I liked that theme a lot.  It's minimal without the big info center thingy at the top.

When I created my custom theme I did something similar to that, but with different colors.

Yeah, I too cut out most of the crap when I created my theme. Why on earth would anyone need to see their avatar in the header, for example? I thought it had probably been removed this from this theme, but just checked, and no, it's still there - a silly feature, along total time logged in (now removed, I see). As eldʌkaː mentioned, the search box should always be present, and I'd say the same about News. I ended up using the upshrinker in my theme for a shoutbox instead.

My sentiments exactly, although, as mentioned earlier, I would rather have put it to the right of the menu bar...

But that could become rather crowded with a lot of buttons and/or a low resolution monitor. I have mine to the right of my News, and they are always available.

The menu bar overflows fairly well to a second line though (could probably be improved), so is that really a problem?

I actually quite like the feature. Probably just a personal preference.

Yes, I can see that people would have different preferences, but since SMf always makes a virtue of core functionality, it strikes me as fluff.

As a heads-up, New Replies to Your Posts is a complete mess in  IE6. It diplays fine in FF.

Someone loves Overflow too much.

On this site it might make sense t take out the "Simple Machines Community Forum", considering the logo is right above it. Then again I guess I am being picky. Otherwise growing to like it looks much better today then the first day. 
Thank you,

I like the new theme, I think it has a fresh look, also the square look is again very modern.
