IOU Trading -- forum layout ideas/suggestions

[Darcia]

Have a color theme you want to share? Cool backgrounds? Please post here! I'd love to head your ideas, and if you have any trouble with the forum, please let me know. I'll see what I can do.

Themes needed:
Winter
Spring
Summer

I have other ideas, but I'm working on adding some cool new features. ^^

Maybe colours like here on this LiveJournal might be nice for a winter theme. It might be a tad depressing (but I like that; a little darkness belongs to winter anyway), but it's quite readable.

If you make a screenshot of it and open it in Adobe Photoshop and activate this syringe icon (I think it was a syringe, though - haven't used AP in quite a while now) and click with it on a part of the screenshot then you get the exact RGB details of the colour of the area that you clicked on. Like I said, I haven't used AP for quite a while (ever since I migrated to Linux), but I used it very often for finding out the RGB details of a particular colour, so that I could reproduce that colour in e.g. any graphics that I made. ^_^

As for backgrounds - well, I don't quite know what would work with the forum. But maybe DeviantART is a good place to find backgrounds, although you would of course need to ask the creator's permission to use it on this forum.

I've pretty much got backgrounds covered, but that's just fine; also, I do have PSE9, but I really dislike using it to make a color scheme, so I'll stick to the way I do. I'll check out the livejournal link.
