And, if it does get set on something someone doesn't like (or can't handle, in the case of those who prefer black-on-light than light-on-black it does look like it's possible to change your view of the layout/colors under profile->look and layout preferences

I was hoping there would be an option for that. Took me a while to find. >.<

The only reason there are options at this point is because I loaded several templates to see what they look like.  Once we figure out what to set this as, the majority of those will be deleted from the database to keep the forum running smoother.

Ah, I didn't realize that (obviously :)). Maybe load the top two voted-for themes from the poll and leave the rest out then? (Or one that's light-on-dark and one that's dark-on-light)

The dark ones hurt my eyes.  I found it hard to read.  Old eyes, I guess.

Yes, I'm thinking the top light and top dark theme will get saved in the database.

That would be great! I'm thinking that the eyesore factor is related to the display of various moniters. Here at home the dark themes make me flinch, while at work it doesn't bother me at all... Although it could be a good reason to get the new flat panel I've been wanting...

I set mine up under the Silver_Shine v2 look.  To me it reminds me of the R/F logo colors. To each there own though. What ever floats yer boat tickles yer fancy and turns ya on.

The problem I'm finding is that some of these templates aren't 100% compatible.  Once we find a theme worth sticking with, I'm going to have to dump the majority of them to keep the forums from having any issues down the road.
