No new themes for 5 years?

Or I am looking at the wrong place?

@bloodchen the core team is mainly focused on developing one standard basic theme that hopefully is easy to modify yourself. We've been pumping out tons of custom themes for our enterprise clients, at least half a dozen per year on average (I mean, we also have to eat.). We have a small team that works on theming (see what I did there), so naturally that is the state of freely available open source themes at the moment.

Anyway, the next theme will be based on react and/or vue (your choice) and I hope that we will be having more open source themers in the future.

Thanks for the feedback.

@psychobunny
Do you have example of such custom themes, entirely different from the default?

@imgbi Some examples off the top of my head:

• http://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/categories
• https://moz.com/community/q
• https://forums.focus-entmt.com/

These themes aren't publicly available, nor are they all our clients. Some or all of them just use our software and have made their own custom theme.

The examples above really show off the flexibility of our theming system, and what possibilities exist, design-wise.

Sure, but:

• all skins / themes are done with css / sass / less,
• ( Safari wise ) site-specific style can be easily overwritten ( however this is toggable ) in the Settings > Advanced

@macfan Not strictly true -- while you can accomplish a lot with just front-end styling, our theming engine allows you to change the underlying templates as well, so you are not limited to having elements in specific positions.

For example, if you want to have your reply buttons somewhere else on the page, or remove them altogether, you can do so by updating the topic.tpl template.
