| My First SMF Theme! Well, I finally did it... I learned how to code SMF themes! It took me a whole 23 minutes. It was tough, but I made it out alive. Sadly, it took me three days to actually make the theme  .Here it is, the fruit of my labor, and it's name is Metallic Abyss. Download Metallic Abyss  Description: A dark theme with metallic highlights. Previews: Board Index - Topic View Compatible With: 1.1 RC3 (sorry, no 1.0.x support) Live Demo: Click here

| I love it. Absolutely love it. A lot of people probably will tell you to switch out the default SMF menu-bar, but I thought that by just personalizing it a little and matching it to your theme, you gave it a brand new life. I say keep it, as it's quality anyway, but it reflects back onto the roots of the forum as well. Overall, the theme is simply gorgeous.

| Thanks bmelton. I originally had a different menu planned, but I really think the tabs SMF used for their default theme work well. So I flipped them upside down and matched the color scheme .Thanks again for the compliments guys .

I would change those "bullets" in the header and recreate them. I find them to be one of the worst things on the SMF theme ... Impressive work so far
