Re: How about a new theme

The main thing is to either have a flat colored background, which is the easiest thing to integrate the logo with (kinda like we did with the DSOTM theme, where the background is black, and the logo's background is black as well), or, what I was originally thinking, is having a "infinite" background like the Wall background - that is, a graphic file that is small and that, if tiled, will look like it's one giant background, or, in other words, won't look like it's tiled, if you know what I mean.

Of course, this background that can be tiled and still look good, would need to be a background that could be integrated with the logo. In other words, the logo would ideally look like it's part of the background, if you know what I mean.

Combining these two things (a tiled background which integrates with the logo) seems a very hard thing for me, with my limited artistic abilities, to do. And that is the main reason why we haven't been developing new themes. So if anyone would like to help us out with that, like Inzagol, Gerald and quite a few other users did, even if their version wasn't the final one, we'd gladly appreciate that help.
