That would be a question for Giles as the admin.

However, I have to say that I hate reading bright text on dark background. The combination on the OoliteBB is at least rather friendly on the eye.

Nothing wrong with having one made available, just maybe not as the default skin.

PHPBB allows users to set their own preference for which skin their browsing experience uses, after all. :-)

I would also like a dark theme with low contrast.

I think we're talking about a personal choice of forum style - the option is there in the UCP preferences, but there isn't an alternative style to choose.

Just to be clear, I think if alternatives were available that would be a good thing. I like it how it is but I might even like an alternative better. :D

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
