I won't mince words: I think the new theme is cluttered and awful.
The info inset on the right of the screen—forum states, newest members, top posters, etc.—doesn't deserve to take up permanent screen real estate in every thread!
It should be in a seperate "stats" pane which interested posters can seek out if they care to.
And given that opinion, I wouldn't. Who cares?
Plus the spacing all round is claustrophobic. Especially the alignment of post text—hard left against the vertical line dividing the post itself and the poster's info, and with a miserly 2mm spacing between the start of the post text and the "re" info (see above under "I won't mince words).
Take a lesson from the average book. The text is never crammed right up against the page number.
It desperately lacks design economy.
With all due respect—Yuk!
There was nothing wrong with the old theme.
Edit: Changing the default sheet style to one with more contrast is a big improvement, but there are still spacing issues... and did I mention the horrible unwanted screen-cluttering boxes of stats on the right of the screen?
