    They just had some updates for it, maybe it's been fixed or maybe the cause.

    I have created my own theme, it is called Silver Surfer. Not sure how many of you might like it, but here goes. Please provide feedback. Check out the screenshots, and if you like it, use the download link. If you want a particular theme made, let me know. I have not figured out how to change the font as yet, so the themes have to be in a dark color. Or a color that shows white font clearly. The screenshot on the right shows how I changed the movie back drop to watchmen.

    Way to go Grim. I would have uploaded my theme here, but it exceeded the limit (12MB), hence ,my external link to the files. Maybe if I did not change so many parts of the original file, it might fit, lol. One thing that makes this process, is that you do not have to do any resizing of the pictures; mc automatically resizes them to fit.

    You guys should try DropBox
    It's how I post everything,
    Pics,Files, everything
    Install it then everything you put in the bropbox folder will be uploaded
    after you put a file in the folder RT Click it and go down to the DropBox tab
    and copy the public link

    Now when ever you want to share something you wont have limits to size.
    Or need to upload to the forum.
    Just post the Public Link
    AND NOT NEED Raped Share. I hate R S, think it sucks
    Or SkyDrive which lately only works half the time!

    If you want to try dropbox and use it to post things
    post your links like so

    Pictures =
    [img]dropbox public link[/img] and the pic will show on forum
    As many as you want!
    No limits to upload because your not doing it from the forum

    Files =
    just post public link and everyone will be able to download them directly

    BTW:
    I love you all's themes they look grate!
    I have not tried doing one yet but I think I will now!

    Nice work fellas. I like Zay's work with the silver surfer. I do think, however, that the more "generic" themes like Grim's will appeal to a broader scope of users. Regardless, they look great and I am sure more people will use them.
