I personally swap, lean abit more to orange (which is what I voted for) but would swap to blue when I'm feeling like it lol.

I'm using "HTC" on black.
I found the green HTC theme better than other green.

Just pushing this thread back up since WP7 will be coming out in the states this week, and hopefully would push the total votes up :D

agree, black&white and/or greys would be great.

on another note during day i almost always use the white design and after sunset/when its dark i switch to the dark design.

i would have never thougt i would actually take the hassle of switching back and fort but somehow the two designs are really practical in different lightning conditions. I really appreciate microsoft included both options; one of the features which tunred out to be super usefull on WP7 enabled phones

any chance that in a future update.. i might be able to have a little bit more variety in my colors?? don't get me wrong.. the "core" colors are pretty much there...but they completely forgot about other major colors... such as yellow, grey, white, black (as a tile color not the background... in case you're completely oblivious to the obvious) etc... it doesn't seem like something that would be that hard to minclude in an update.. yet it seems very elementary that it would be forgotten at launch

I think a colour selection wheel for the tiles would be awesome.

I'm using green on black because it's the most power-saving combination for SAMOLED-screens but I'd like to try grey on black or maybe gold on black.

I thought Id like green on black, but i tried red on black (which i originally thought was too strong a color) and it works surprisingly well

Just FYI,

For the Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 or any device using Amoled screen.

Do not use:

- White background, it takes 3 times the power of normal LCD to produce white.
- Red theme, it makes characters look more pixelated and the edges of tiles grainy.
- Blue theme, blue color dies first in Amoled screens.

Do use:

- Black background, it uses the least power and much much less than a LCD.
- Green/lime would be your best bet since the fonts and tiles look much more clear and crisp because of the double pixels/saturation on green color.
