Looks like a pretty big improvement to me. Fair enough my taste in colour isn't exactly the best, I know that, but I don't have a little fashion artist sat on my shoulder telling me what colours go together. I tried taking a look at kuler.adobe.com and couldn't grasp the idea, and when I tried to incorporate one, it looked ugly.

I believe the way I'm styling my themes is getting better, I just need to get a better sense of colour. To be honest, I don't care if you don't like me. I just wish you'd say things a bit nicer sometimes, it's a bit spirit crushing to see someone flaming everything you're proud of.

Edit: By the way, I love that Surely Elegant theme, green works incredibly with dark gray.

Also, thanks. I liked it too but it was nothing special. That's why I created this one.

What colour scheme would work with this one?

Blue/Black:



Blue/White:



Blue/Darker Blue:



Actually I like the blue/white gradient. I might try that on the theme, what do you think?
