Hmm I wondered if there is a version of the graphics that looks okay if you put them on dark blue and black background.
Especially the ones in the post, bbc and topic folders look terrible on something dark. Also a lot of the ones in the images root folder.
So if anyone had the time to uptimse the graphics against a dark background I would be happy if you could share.

you could try inverting the colors on the current buttons and stuff..

i'm playing around with a lot of different looks and stuff with SMF on my site:

I dont want to step on somebody's post, but I think that the original SMF graphics look good on my board, and mine is dark.

If I do that.. do I have to overwrite the originals.. or can I load a "buttons set" somewhere?

yeah.. the thing about that is this:

I am a graphic designer as well as being a pilot in the army.  And if there is one thing I absolutely cannot stand is someone messing with my images.  So I try not to, as a rule, mess with other peoples images without very express written consent.
