...So I used that statistic to extrapolate that many more people went to ITT than went to Maemo.org. After all, If I don't go there why would anyone??

Yes, I know very scientific. Bet you 1 dollar I am right :D

Ah! I agree with your reasoning and reacted the exact same way however, there is a flaw in the extrapolation.

It's not easy being people like us. :D

I'm using the minimalistic theme at 80% zoom. I find it easier on the eyes and much less cluttered with useless junk (thread title between every post in large font) and it uses the whole screen instead of just 2/3 resulting in far less scrolling. I use a lesser zoom because otherwise it feels too big. Unfortunately, it is missing a lot of functionality (although this is being worked on :) ).

With the default theme, I feel like I'm looking at the front page of Maemo.org - a lot of unrelated articles, not a thread. I understand the desire to have some continuity between, the front page and the forums. It seems to me this goes a little too far. I suppose in time I would get used to the color scheme, but the layout is a lot tougher.

In the meantime, I'll continue using the minimalistic theme and sacrifice functionality.

Following the theme started in Dismantle, choice has been eliminated. If you don't like the color scheme, write a new page yourself that will take the text from this page and display it the way you want it.

Reggie is the maintainer of the talk.maemo.org theme. Andrew is the maintainer of the Minimalistic theme. Who commits to create and maintain additional themes?

Asking for choice is nice and I would do it all the time. But more choices implies more work for someone. If that someone is you, coming with mockups, theme code or a commitment I'm sure Reggie and co will look at your proposal with different eyes. You don't need to be a C or Debian expert for that.

Sorry but the orange type on the light background is not user friedly. There is not enough contrast to read easily especially on a tablet. Even on my Mavbook Pro I noticed more strain. I know a lot of work snd passion went inot this, but please implement a more user/eye friedly text color scheme. Maybe a darker backgrond, but contrast is the key.

I can try doing another theme, though no commitment before I start trying :)

Personally find standard themes must better for a forum without the unneeded eye candy.

hate this layout, its too much like wordpress for my liking.

this or mini, please allow members to have the standard or old theme back.

Now that you say it... I miss the link to hot singles in my area, too. Will you file a bug or should I? :p
