in reply to Ideas for PerlMonks Themes

Yeah a theme like that would be cool unfortunately I don't know if my graphic design skills are up to the challenge. Plus there are oh so many features on my y. list to be implemented... but who knows maybe someday... if anyone feels compelled to work on some graphics for such a theme let me know.

    There's a neat parchment background at http://www.johncfish.com/bggallery/parchmt.jpg. A color scheme suitable for use with it would be color bars of #996633 with #FFF8F0 text, ordinary black text, and links like so:
     LINK="#CC6600"
 VLINK="#993300"
 ALINK="#FF6600"

    [download]
    Here's a sample page with that scheme: 
    <HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="http://www.johncfish.com/bggallery/parchmt.jpg"
 TEXT="black"
 LINK="#CC6600"
 VLINK="#993300"
 ALINK="#FF6600"

It looks pretty good, doesn't it? You find yourself liking this scheme
