Curious thing, this new theme look threatens to become the most awaited "feature" in SMF v2.0, even more than the real new features.

So - what ARE the new features

Pretty much, yes. If I read all of that correctly, there will be a PSD available so you can tweak it however you want to, including making new buttons.

I'm creating a forum for a small project team and I'm a very experienced developer. If Curve is far enough along I would love to Beta Test it for you (so I can start the new Forum with the new look, of course)

Keep up the good work!

[Deaks]

thanks for offer however the team that are testing are well known themers, who have been around for a while.  It is due out on RC2 so if you can wait till then, you will be able to test it.

Any chance of them taking one little suggestion on board?

My wife is a graphic designer, and she thinks one small tweak would tidy up the theme a bit. (I think I mentioned this before, but here goes).

How about moving the words "Last post" from the right side-bar of each forum and up into the top of that column? It then leaves heaps more space for the last-post title itself to wrap around in that little box. I think that will create more clicks which then translates into more community. The FX themes already do this, but I think it is an important enough theme improvement to include in the default, and it shouldn't be too hard to do for the reward of all that extra space and a "cleaner" forum look? 

[choloman05]

that's a breath of fresh air.  And I know it's picky, but if we lost some of the icons (replaced by more contemporary-looking ones), that'd be a really nice default theme.

Thats good news - thanks
