Ok, let's start using this forum again, since user input is very important.
So, it's been brought to my attention that people don't seem to like our current default theme, The Killing. I would pick a different default theme from the already installed themes, like helios multi or whatever, but personally I don't like helios multi. My personal preference however, does not matter.
So I would like to know what theme you guys would like to use. we can either use a pre-installed one, such as The Killing, or helios multi, or we can choose a new one from http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/
If you choose one from that url, make sure it supports smf 2.0, or we can't use it.
The reason I am bring this up is, I want to pick a theme that most of the members will like, and just stop maintaining 20 different themes. It makes no sense for any of us to have to go through and apply an edit to 20 different themes, everytime we install a modification. I'd like to find a theme that most of you like, and make that our main default theme.
So, let's get the discussion rolling. Remember if you find one on the theme website I linked above, please provide a link to the theme's page, so I can read about it, and obtain the files, and support url for that theme.
I think this will make implementing new features in the future faster, easier, less error prone, and all around more enjoyable. we also won't have to spend as much time troubleshooting, since everyone will be using the same tested base code.
I look forward to improving the forum experience for you all.
Thanks,

Well, I like The Killing, to be honest. How many themes do you think is reasonable?

How many do I think is reasonable? Personally one, so we are all on the same page for troubleshooting, and so we don't have to maintain 20 separate codebases.

Personally, I'd like something bright and colorful, other than the grimdark color scheme we have going. ><

I'm horrible at picking out themes.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2699 looks nice.

I really like http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2670
I like The Killing too.... But whatever's cool. Out of all of these, I'd like the green one the best.

Personally, Multi is my favorite. Mainly because it works on all internet browsers...without any sharp contrasts.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=868 Much brighter than Helios, and multiple color choice. <--- Would much prefer this one First
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2459 I like the Orange, white and black thing it has going.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2251 Would absolutely love this one if we could get rid of the Final Fantasy Banner. (Demo in description works, for once.) <-- Would prefer this Second
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=689 Although not a fan of how dark it is, this one looks pretty cool.
