I was referring to the M-word :wink:

Opps :shock: Oh well, sometimes it's best not to dwell on these little mistakes.

Man! I just love this OMG Ponies theme.

It's, like, OMG! Totally!


We should make this the forum default for a few days....

PS: Thanks for making me confused when I logged in. :)

Oh the OMG!!!Ponies!!! style is, like, squeeee! All pink and sparkly! :heart:

But I have to admit that this MT theme is very decent. Good contrast, nicely readable, loads fast.

bewing went and stole my thunder :(

There is now a MegaTokyo theme available for testing. Instead of basing it on the last MegaTokyo-like theme, I based it on http://web.archive.org/web/200210020615 ... com/forum/. Let me know what you guys think and if you find anything where it looks like the colors aren't set correctly. I also installed another theme, SFCentar, which is a dark colored them. I haven't tested either of these yet on anything but FF2 (on the road for work this week).

EDIT: If anyone has a phpBB3 board and they want to use or tweak the MegaTokyo theme I've put it up at http://files.osdev.org/MegaTokyo.zip

They both seem to work in FF3. Quite like this SFCentar theme.

The color's missing for the "powered by phpbb" part. Other than that, the only real comments are about the differences between what was mtDark and mtDark2 - I prefer the former, this has more of the latter.

It's not bad, but the post notification images aren't very... noticeable, I actually grew to favour the mtdark2 theme especially.

Anyone willing to modify the phpbb3 "subsiver2" theme to make it more... mtdark2 style? If not, The current one will suffice. :)
