Just for fun, a Perlmonks pumpkin-ish theme has been posted at Pumpkin Theme! (in the User CSS Repository thread). Try it out, if you'd like. Many thanks to the author of the Red Theme for providing an excellent canvas.

    oh dear....
    and my parents wondered why I wouldn't eat my pumpkins as a kid... I should show them this :p

    PS: I've seen people referrring to themes and CSS before but never paid any attention, but now that you've drawn my attention to this, I understand what's going on. Cheers++

      I take it you don't like my theme. ;-) Anyhow, would you mind explaining what is not good about it? I'm not really a graphic designer, and I'd welcome any feedback that I can learn from. Update: thanks for the feedback, McDarren.

        heh... I'm sure you already realised that my "dig" was very much tongue-in-cheek...
        but since you asked...here goes:
        • it's erm... all orange ! (yes, yes.. I know it has to be that way otherwise you couldn't call it a pumpkin theme. hmmm, but then... I've seen a lot of green pumpkins :p)
        • It's very LOUD (and I don't like loud, unless it's floyd)
        • I don't like underlined links - they give me the irrits
        • um.. that's it :)
        Of course, all of the above is just (my) personal preference :)
        And having said all this, I should also mention that I really like your Soothing Green Theme, and I've started using it :)
        I should also say that I did ++ your Pumpkin Post. Which I guess is a bit ironic - but hey, they're my votes and I can do what I like with them :p

        Cheers,
        Darren :)

        Also, Recently Active Threads doesn't look the best...

        thor

        Feel the white light, the light within
        Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will
        For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come

        Update: Also, it seems that replies black text on black background. In taking a quick glance at the html, it looks like PM is putting a lot of 'bgcolor=#000000' in tr tags, which I find odd...

        Update (again): I was able to fix the black on black issue with this: 

        .main_content td {
  color: #000;
  background-color: #ffe9ae;
}

    I greatly enjoy the theme, and think I might keep it.

    Of course, I am colorblind ;)
