    I think a blue background would look great on your forum.

    The logo is changed to smaller size ;) What type of color would you suggest. If you can please make a demo image with colors ;) .. point out me to some forum as example. i'd be grateful

    you could try a sky blue theme to match your logo.

    Nice site you've got there Yfcadmin. I wouldn't make the site too dark, I think you should stick to the white background, but turn the grey edge of the forum into medium-darkblue. 0066CC for example. And make the background inside the forum boxes 99CCCC It's hard to tell if those colors will be nice, but you've got to try some variations, but I think blue suits best. I'd suggest not using more then 3 different colors for your forum.

    Greets,

    Semi

    I would recommend a BLUE theme.... and also remove that logo completely and put a text logo instead like DP... it must be professional with no fancy images... and also the borders of the tables are irritating.... so change that too....

    That blue stands out a bit to much, maybe tone that down to a light gray.

    Hey.. I suggest you to use DPs theme itself... with BLUE color... try yourself by changing the color of DP to BLUE... and then tweak that theme accordingly......
