Even though the new look is good, I still love the look of yaBB SE and I think it would be a good idea if it were included as a theme. I know that we will be able to customize it as mich as we want, but I think thata lot of people like the yaBB SE standard look and would like to easily be able to keep it.

Would anyone else use it if it were included?

Well, two things have been said a couple times around here: the themes system will let you make whatever you want - even boards that look like other forum software AND the theme on this site will most likely NOT be included with the download package. So you don't have to worry about this one. ;)

It has been stated that a blue yabb se style theme will be included when released. And the style is pretty much identical to a 1.5.4 board :) Well untill you look at the differently layed out stuff like profile :p

Hey, lets hope that thing gets cleaned up, too.  The default YaBBSE template is as close to spaghetti code as HTML allows.  Yic!

define "spaghetti code"
yse template is XHTML compliant, the code doesnt look messy
maybe just too many nested tables

Please tell me that this theme will be available to download. I like it better than the old yabbse theme. Its just more my style than the old yabbse theme.  :)

At this time, this theme will not be made available.  The graphics and such were designed specifically for simplemachines.org.

I do have my 'clean look' icon set which is the older version of these graphics.  Rather than the rounded glass look, it has a slightly more square plastic look, but close enough.  Unless the Project Managers specifically say, the graphics for this site will remain for this site only (although that's not my call, and I don't know how they want to work that).  Keep in mind that all the anti-ailising was designed specifically for this template, so placing these graphics over different colors may create a... unique... effect.

http://www.silverdragonden.com/yabbse/CleanLook.zip is where you can download the other set, I think it's complete and should include a series of colors.

Sorry :(

Thanks for the reply. Although I think it might be a mistake not to release a theme that the simple machine site actually uses. But like you said its not my call.   :-[ 
I guess when they release it I will just have to make my own theme.  ;)
I am just glad the sources are still going to be free and it will be easier to make templates.   :D

Thanks again for the reply.

Too bad; I so agree with Homer. I'd love to have this as a template, I'd modify it, of course. Oh well.

Spaceman-Spiff

don't worry, there will be better ones once its released ;)

uh, i should say... 'there will be other good ones' ;) :D

I really like this one too...  can't wait to see what people copme up with for templates once they figure out what they can do with it.

Jeff Lewis

Me either, that's what is pretty exciting. Should see some really varied looks.

Personally, I like this look better, not much better, but better, I think its easier on the eye's

Yeah, just wait until I make my text only theme again.

THEN you'll be sorry there's a template system :P.

I love text only theme's because of their loading speed  :)

This theme is much better than old YSE look. Very calm and professional look.
