Only these colours on the background on the new skin maybe the op could make skins for the new skin!

BTW anyone interested, I've started attempting to blue the 2010 theme... It still looks bad at this time, anyone good with CSS care to lend a hand?

I've added the link to the first post. :)

Tweaked some more... Trying to track down some of the large white blocks here and there, I think I have most of them. Also tweaked the Editor view.

I'd like to fix the navigation bar at the top (XDA Forums, Wiki, Device Database etc) but can't track it down.

EDIT: Fixed. ;)

I'm sure there are more things to twiddle.. It'd be nice to get rid of some of the browns, but I think (so far) they're images.

Okay, I think it's about done for the Blue theme. I've modified quite a few graphics now too, and they're pulling from my personal website... Not much I can do there otherwise, but most of the brown and yellow is gone. :)

Let me know what you guys thing, and I'll start on a grey theme.

I've added a userstyle for the 2015 themes, this time it's a rather simple mod, just removing some wasted space and changing font colors from orange to blue. It's in the OP, hope it's useful :)

Just make sure you only have the light or dark activated, per your theme. If you have the wrong one activated the fonts will be the wrong darkness ;)

    I've never been a big fan of the yellow XDA theme, and I've never seen a way to change it, so I grabbed the CSS from the site and put it into Stylish, a Firefox CSS tweak extension, and modified it so the yellow tones are changed to different colors, see the full list below. It also narrows the page to 'only' 1200 pixels, in case you're using it on a huge monitor and don't want the page being that wide. It's easy to edit at the top of the code if you don't like that change.

    Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else would want this sort of thing. I'm NO CSS ninja, I just clumsily hacked on it. The XDA icons are still yellow/brown, some of the links in the Dark Grey probably need tweaking.

    Thanks to sickbox the bug in my CSS edits which make the top bar with User CP/FAQ etc disappear when you hover over the links is fixed!

    The Stylish code is here, you'll need Firefox+Stylish Extension, Greasemonkey, or Opera to use it.

    NEW! XDA 2010 Theme!

    Blue - http://userstyles.org/styles/43606?r=1296614893

    Above is my initial shot at converting the 2010 XDA theme to a blue. Once I work out the places to change, I can pretty easily add Greys etc. Help would be appreciated!

    New!! XDA 2015 Themes

    For the Dark theme
    Blue - https://userstyles.org/styles/106066/xda-developers-2015-dark-theme

    For the default (light) theme
    Blue - https://userstyles.org/styles/106068/xda-developers-2015-light-theme

    For 2015 I've only modified areas with wasted space and changed the font from Orange to Blue. It's still in beta a bit, I still have some clean up I'd like to do but I think it might be useful to some people.

    Hope it's useful to some folks. I'm using it full time. :)
