Looks nice, but I'm sticking to the Dramatic Turnings theme.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

My eyes still need to get used to it. My biggest gripe is that the pages look a bit messy because lines separating the posts just blend in too much with the background whereas the white lines encompassing the actual posts are too bright and distracting.

Steam forums came to mind, which has a similar dark tone and color scheme, but it's a lot clearer and a lot less taxing on the eyes. https://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2010521

Which theme is this? Dark or light?
Dark. The light version is pretty similar to the ADTOE one and it's a good thing that subsequent posts have slightly different background colors, easier to distinguish between them. In the dark version, everything mashes together.
While I absolutely love our dark themes (the BTS one and this new one), I sort of see your point. It's nice when alternate posts are a slightly different shade.

Still, it's never bothered me, and it's not going to start now!

Better?
Absolutely. My eyes are so pleased with this new-found perspicuity, I might actually end up using the theme.  :tup


Sycsa is perhaps the most brilliant and insightful man I have ever encountered.

Why is the clown on the front page of the dark theme??  Haven't we had enough of the hated clown?

The very soul of what was once real music is now lost in a digital quagmire of emotionless sonic madness.

If you mean the splash page, it continues the tradition of having an element of the old album in the picture.

The splash page before had the rope coming out of the doorway from the BC&SL cover. We like to include a nod to the previous album on that page. :)

EDIT: Also, Squibby you are my hero. Didn't realise it would be such an easy change to make!

1 line of css and a new picture. Not a big change. :)

I think I'm definitely missing something here. How do you change the forum theme?
