Open to all suggestions on this theme, including style name, colours, layout, graphics... anything you want to see added :wink:

For this one we will be concentrating on darker colours

My opinion would be a mixture of black, dark blue and maybe a little red mixed in for contrast. The details of it I can work out later on what goes where.

You can have a background image in phpBB, so I was thinking as an image, a white skull on a 45 degree angle, the background behind it black, then so you can see most of the skull, bring in the edges of the forum an inch or so, like in Igloo.

Ok, this is getting serious now. I plan on starting tonight, so the first thing we need to do is decide on a name :D

Suggestions other than Death Theme?

Ok, I have a few suggetions for the names..
death= "mysteries"
"beyond us"
"gateway"
"passage"
"beging"
"soulseekers"
dark= "gothic"
"everlasting"

And not that i know what the heck i am talking about, cause the theme was Red's idea, but the dark blues, deep reds, and greys sound like they would be the most different from the themes we have
:wink:
