Hmm...

I suppose that the box on the upper right corner is either still work in progress or a consequence of the forum board not taking so much space on either side. Apart from being utterly messed up, it looks as nice as in the current theme.

The alignment of the text on the right side at the Last post column feels a bit wrong at times, mostly due to the column's width, which seems a bit unnecessary.

Also, have you considered using a landscape instead of plain colours and patterns on the background? A wide picture from a level in Last Legacy might work pretty well.

Last but not least, that forum title font looks all right on the bright theme, but it didn't fit the dark one as well.

Both themes have a lot of potential, imo, If you want a brighter theme for these forums, go for it.

It's okay, but I think the one one we have now is better. Would it be possible to have an option to choose between a light and dark theme for the whole site (maybe the one in the first post for light, and the one we have now for dark)?

It looks a lot better with 3-bit color. XD

With this graphics plan, may I suggest that you get rid of the flash header completely. It's slow, doesn't always work and isn't "professional" looking. A more centered header design with a more iconic logo would work wonders.

I agree it causes bugs, however I do quite like the flash header. Though if there is a logo that would work equally as well then feel free to use it.

I'd go with Alice's point on having the header be in JavaScript rather than Flash.

There's been something bothering me all morning that I just realized. Why is poster/author information aligned to the right unlike most forums? Is it going to change in this new layout?

Anyway, I agree that a new header is in order. Through LL, you two have shown that your graphical ability is past what you've done with GT and the Evil Factory, which the current header is reminiscent of. I'm indifferent towards how the header should be coded though.

I don't see why Runouw needs to seem professional. I'd prefer to be around a more laidback forum.

Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.

If I were to design a completely new header from scratch, do you still like the building theme? Or would it perhaps be better if Runouw.com was symbolized with something else? I'm open to suggestions. I plan on making a new animated header with javascript soon.

Also, for posts, everyone is okay if the user stays on the right side?
