    I like the themes we have but they are getting kinda stale in my opinion. I would enjoy a darker theme for the site possibly like a discord theme. I have no idea how difficult this would be but I would really appreciate having some effort put into it.

    I had heard of a Luna theme being worked on. That was so many months ago so I have no idea. I suggested this a long time ago too, so hopefully we can get one eventually.

    A darker theme would be nice. If my OC doesn't tell you, I do find darker colours more appealing.

    Can't really work on themes right now for a variety of reasons.

    None, really. Though right now Tyro and Eight are focusing on advertising as a higher priority for hosting $$ and for getting our name out there. I guess you could consider that as one reason.

    This is true but the arty-farty in me hasn't let such a thing die. While the above takes precedence of course, I'm endeavouring to take up up what I've heard is the desired list of new themes in my spare, spare time. It's likely to be relatively slow but I hope the results will please and keep a certain uniformity and identity about the place while still looking good.

    Well, that's the hope anyway. You haven't heard of it because I've been working on a few samples to show you lot what I was planning to do, first for each theme. I was going to wait till I was finished but, if there's demand, then I'll perk you up a bit.

    I'm planning Rainbow Dash and Luna themes and I'm chucking in a third dark theme because I thought the idea would look cool; Changeling.

    Sound good? Bare in mind, these will take a while. Party (again) the above, partly being a very slow artist.

    Changeling, which I presume would be black and neon-green, sounds great! It may be weird sounding but I've always preferred dark themes/skins on forums since the less light being blasted into your eyeballs means you can read longer minus eye strain.

    On an old site I frequent, they changed their background from black to white.

    I much preferred the black one. So I'm fine with a darker theme.

    Well, I don't know what to say here. My theme is the Pinkie Pie one. Though, I recently changed from Twilight Sparkle, which I quite enjoyed.
