{{closed|res|The new theme has been implemented, most bugs have been worked out, and any additional changes should be discussed in a new thread. }}
I know that every time a new theme discussion is started, it seems to inevitably lead to problems. But, I also know that our wiki theme is a bit dated and could badly use a new coat of paint. Right now most of our thematic elements are TS3-based and are starting to show their age. Where we've had issues in the past is in collectively deciding what we should do about this.

::I'd only suggest changing the margin at the top a little, 20px looks a bit off. I personally like 5px. I'm going to take a guess and assume forum page redesign is just changing the old blue/green bars over to the new theme and maybe a couple of other things. I might take a stab at it later, along with chat. {{WHsig|02:21, April 20, 2015 (UTC)}}
:::I only followed the style on the main page. I guess it's 20px if the blue header has an image, and 5px if it doesn't. I went ahead and changed the community portal because it's been 4 days without any input other than yours. It can easily be changed later in the portal itself if something needs tweaking, I guess.

::::[[file:Chat redesign draft.png|right|thumb]]So I put this together earlier but I was suffering from a complete lack of inspiration and anything I tried looked completely awful. I tried adding the colors from bluebar/greenbar to the header but it looked really off. That, and chat is a bit of a pain to edit... Anyway, I've bolded names on the userlist, removed the old mosaic, and changed the user panel as the plumb(b)ob stuck out like a sore thumb. I also added a subtle light-green gradient below the chat that I rather like. It benefits the highlight that was already there and used for your own messages, so they stand out a little easier. As I was writing this I came up with a couple of other things I might try later but this is an early draft. Sorry for not being able to come up with something amazing but I'll leave this open for feedback. Will mess around with forum design a bit later.
::::'''EDIT:''' Forgot to mention that I tried using our white plumbbob mosaic thing in place of the sim faces mosaic and that didn't turn out well either. Will provide pictures of my numerous failures on request if anyone asks for them {{WHsig|11:20, April 20, 2015 (UTC)}}
:::::Draft of [[User:Woganhemlock/testing5|forum index]] and [[User:Woganhemlock/testing4|cd forum index]]. Will change it more tomorrow. Button looks a little bit off, maybe I'll try to see what I can do with buttons as well. {{WHsig|11:52, April 20, 2015 (UTC)}}
::::::I should have mentioned, I already [[Forum:Off-topic_discussions|redid the Off-topic forum index]]. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 16:21, April 20, 2015 (UTC)
{{od|::::::}}'''Update''': I guess we could say we're done with updating the portal theme? Unless I missed some that needs updating, that is. In addition, I made templates for the blue and green header: {{T|Headerblue}} and {{T|Headergreen}}.
