I like the theme in general, although there's too much dead space at the top. I also want to suggest a "copy" of this theme with different code boxes, one with a blue background and white text (which I find much easier to read), or at least to brighten up the colour of the current code box.

Myself I don't mind about the code boxes (it would be nice if they were smaller with scrollboxes, like the Official Forums have, but it's not necessary).  However, I agree that there's too much dead space at the top.  Perhaps size down fonts a bit.  At the very least I think the margins could be changed and we could put some of the information at the top on one line.  Something like:

The problem is, these templates are a bitch to modify. Perhaps there are some tutorials on them. I’ll inform myself. But it's still all about digging up the PHP code and finding the thing that needs to be changed. Not easy, as it’s all connected with different files and variables. Ugh! My PHP skills suck.

Actually, I managed to do few alterations on the template. I succeeded to remove a CONSTANT search box that was under the greetings section and made a link of the forum title (far top).

Anyway, I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Maybe a different theme is a solution, but I would like a recommendation on this since uploading a new time is rather annoying (zillion of files). I don't want to do that and then realize the new one sucks even more.

Erm…can you people pick your own them? I uploaded few from earlier, but I’m not happy with them.

LOCATE 1,1

PRINT "Anything else? Blood? Hm?"

I decided to keep the avatar on top. I personally like seeing it. Should I remove it? Maybe we need a poll on this. Eh.

And I did make a change on the code box. Perhaps the change was too small to be noticed. Anyway, the colors now correspond to the blue/yellow theme in FBIde.

There!

Just don't say it's too dark now.

Maybe you should just give me the HTML color code you want.
