alright, i've made a bunch more changes:

as lucidnina suggested:

- removed spaces between folders
- fixed font colours somewhat (but still experimenting with)
- cell hilightling adjusted
- two additional test banners with smaller buttons (although i'm not sure on the style i want yet...i just quickly did this)


i also made everything lighter once again (it really is significantly lighter, and uses many of the same grey tones in the current forum's design), and i adjusted a few more little things here and there. personally, i think it looks great. i'm kind of changing my mind on the banner and wondering if we can get something really neat up there.. i think that, along with the lighter colours, will make the forum more "welcoming." i don't know exactly what would look good up there...like maybe even some characters or whatnot? i really don't know. i'm open to suggestions though. regardless, the 'forex currency' one just isn't doing it for me and i really don't think it's doing justice to the theme.

so anyway, please check out the index page (just the index page) and everyone let me know what you think. not many are replying, and i'm closer and closer to making this our new theme, so if you don't like it or want somethign changed, now's the time to say something.

also, here is what the folders would look like with those little icons...i think the blue might need to be adjusted to match the design, but again i think they'll help make the forum feel "warmer":



finally, just some notes:
