I would like to make a suggestion. How about enabling the possibility for users to change their theme to the standard prosilver PhpBB theme? I find it to be a lot easier on my eyes. Nothing has to be installed or modded, its just a standard setting in phpBB.
The current purple/grey theme could stay default of course.
I support this suggestion. I like the theme we have now. But a old school 90's/80's theme would be cool.
I support it too. Having different choices is nice.

Good idea. The thing about good ideas, though, is that they tend to require someone's hard work to realize.

Not this one i think 😀 An Admin goes to the board settings and sets "override user style" to NO.
Creating/Installing new themes is a different thing though, but the above would be sufficient at least for me.
It is not going to happen. Sorry.
As things aren't that simple, I went beyond the normal stuff to add some extra security to the site.

I have no opinion on this, as long as it's readable. But if I could ask for one change, I would like for the site to auto scale down big images for users like me who browse with a 1024x768 monitor. (CRT) It is somewhat annoying to have to use my browsers built in zoom features to view pictures.

I found a slow but working workaround by replacing the site style sheets with the ones from the default theme via greasemonkey. I didnt know that letting users select a theme that is already installed posed a security risk.
It isn't, but the default theme isn't compatible with the changes, so you'd end up unable to do certain things, unless I port the changes over.
Using a solution as you are doing is probably the best.

The only thing about the theme that I'm not crazy about is the cursor becomes nearly invisible when in a text window. So if I'm editing what I've written, it's very challenging to mouse over to a word because the cursor turns into something the shape of a capital I that is nearly the same color as the background, and is not easy to find amongst the words.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Having ran a phpBB eons ago I can surely tell you qbix is right and this is sadly very much the case of phpbb's functionality being closely knit to theme-specific php files (which would then need some painfully required manual updating per patch), even more so than SMF
The more I think of it the more I realize this is not a good idea. I used to run a form years back myself too.
That being said the image scaling thing needs fixed. If not at lest a sticky showing how to probably post images.
And even if ProSilver was modified to work it would still be more work every time the board was updated. There would be two themes that would also need updated instead of just one. And I know how much work that it was to do the current theme since I helped recreate Colin's old phpBB2 theme for the phpBB3 upgrade.

Completely agree. The current theme is especially hard for people with low eyesight and is not accessibility-friendly.
