Thread: POLL: Allow users to select their own vBulletin visual theme

I started an earlier thread, "Change the default light gray text on dark gray background colors" because it's difficult to read and it was received pretty well, but allowing people to select their own display theme would be a perfect win-win solution.

good one. and 4 Yes votes and 0 no votes so far.. I think this is really a promising suggestion. :)

-giga

indeed they should.

you are right

I'm totally all for this, but this would require some vBulletin theme developers to make some changes. What's the point of allowing to choose your own theme if you only have 1 to choose from?

there's a couple of no votes now.. any of you no voters care to give a different side to this?

Yes, for sure. I have trouble seeing text when it's bright in the room/day.
It's fine at night, maybe give the text a different color would help.

I voted no. As a webdesigner I consider this one a great forum layout. However - I'm aware that it's only a matter of taste and someone else might e.g. like it white. So.. I DON'T (personally) see it necessary, but wider choice palette never hurts. But if it came to choose between features, I'd rather see the staff working on more important things.

Actually, there was a design competition for a new forum theme, but no one was willing to do it. I could design, but I don't know how to code for sh.t lol..
