New forum theme - poll #1

Hello,

We are on the verge of a major server overhaul, which may include some changes to the look and feel of some things.
The forum is one example. The default theme we use is no longer supported on recent versions of our forum software.
That means we will have to look for a new one.

I would like to know what you guys prefer; a dark(er) or a light(er) theme. I would like to have only one forum theme, since it's easier to support. But if the poll is close, we may look into supporting two.
We may open a new poll in the future following this one with actual themes that are in the running.

Thanks for voting.

My vote goes to dark, too, because:

- The forum has always had a dark theme, since the very beginning. I'm kinda nostalgic that way :P
- It's easier on the eyes
- It costs less battery on mobile phones :mrgreen:

I agree with all of your reasons! Dark.

"It costs less battery on mobile phones" - how come? Backlight is always On, just the pixels are non-transparent ;-P

That depends on the type of display. With LCD screen you're absolutely right, but with AMOLED's, my argument is valid. :mrgreen:
