in thread Ideas for PerlMonks Themes

Go to user settings now and check out the dark theme... it has some issues but let me know what you think... I need to design some titlebar graphics but since I'm on a laptop for the week I don't feel particularly compelled to do any gimping at this moment. However if you wanted to convert the perlmonks title image and search image I could plug those in fer ya.

    I must say that I like the dark theme tremendously ... actually I'm more impressed with the promptness with which you produced the option. Thank you Vroom! The title bar is fine for now (or so it seems to me... I'd be glad to help unify color themes if you would like... I don't have the ability to make new gifs until Tue evening or Wed afternoon but I'd love to help... I'll design other themes after that if you would like. Mail me about it) ... the most apparent transgression of this new dark theme has been the white background in the table which holds all the replies to a thread... the text and table colors elsewhere are far better than any of the previous theme options as far as I'm concerned. Nice work. TTFN & Shalom.

      I recently switched to the dark theme, but I have the same complaint as above - the threads are quite unreadable. Any chance of homogenizing the theme soon? Thank you.

    I love the darker theme!

    The only change I would make is to the color of the hyperlinks (both visited and unvisited). They seem a little clashy. I don't like this theme as much as the blue theme, for my laptop, but when I plug it into my 21" sun monitor -- it looks very pleasing.

    I'm really thankful for this site and can't wait to see what it grows into over the next few months. Everything(2) were interesting ideas, but PerlMonks is really a brilliant implementation. I bet Andover is already licking their lips and pulling out the cash. *grin*
