I wouldn't know.  Notepad will probably do.

That worked.

I'm used to just working within the ACP, so this isn't anything I did before.

Be careful of the format when you save, and it should be okay.

-Actually, it'll be better to give me code to copy/paste and where to do it, so it doesn't undo the tweaks to the layout I've made since last night.

That's assuming I find what I'm looking for. This is venturing into new territory.

I'm still using Thanksgiving, btw. Are there any others you'd like me to look at?

[Buster's Uncle]

Dunno.  What am I allowed to kill?

ADK Halloween. I love the colors, the flame design of the sidebar where we have our avatars, etc. is gorgeous, but the navigation menu is so squashed together that I can't get half the places I want to go. I keep ending up in Downloads or Calendar, and I don't ever have any reason to go there.

So for me, it's lovely, but unusable. If you need to eliminate another one, ADK Halloween gets my vote for elimination.

[Buster's Uncle]

Hmm.

The color palette of the Ostara theme is enjoyable.The forum navigational buttons operate as they should. The default text size is smaller and transparent areas appear on the far right of each column for drop down options.

  The theme appears great at the surface. I will have to try the theme itself to check for any major issues

[Buster's Uncle]

Oh, do.  Do.

A fews areas immediately struck me as odd. The first area that appears unusual is the large box at the bottom of each page that has a different non-transparent background than the rest of each page. The gray background behind the quote, underline, bold, hyperlink, and other non smiley posting button also contrasts rather sharply with the rest of the theme. The third thing that stood out odd as to me was the position of the Profile pictures and background while scrolling through threads.

I dunno, man - I worry that it's too green already.  Like, it maybe needs a touch more other colors.

I won't be completely satisfied with this one until I've tracked down all the spacing of elements on the root directory, that's for sure. -But figuring out which thing refers to what part takes forever, the way spacing is entered varies, and I've definitely spent too much time lately hunched forward reading the eight-point type the code displays in; I need me some computer reading glasses, 'cause if I change the zoom or text display, it messes up how the changes display.

If I can't track down the right sidebar spacing pretty quickly this morning, I'm moving on to tarting up Adk Hallowen...

Please elaborate on your "hmmm" comment a few posts up (and image of Thanksgiving). I'm currently using ADK Halloween, and having to use the forum jump at the bottom right to get around since the top is too squashed to let me move between the Community and Council Room.

I'm planning to work on it today.
