I personally don't like the blue, nor do I like change much either. I've gotten really accustomed to the stealth mode and the black and white make reading so much easier, plus the layout seems functional. I tried going back to wither of the other 2 and couldn't take more than 5 minutes. As far as preference I would definately the origninal AF color scheme, it's softer on the eyes then a myriad of blues and white.

You aren't meant to be using Stealth mode...
I think I'm gonna change Stealth mode back to the normal theme with icons removed, etc. We should have one look for the site, not two.

But I tried it to experiment and fell in love with the simplicity and readability. I understand what its for, make me an AF home page that has the layout and colors of stealth mode and I'll switch. Or just tell me to and I'll switch, you're the boss, but readability on theese long posts is definately a major selling point.

I second that Tack.
Adrian, perhaps cut your losses on the blue theme and mod the "stealth" skin.

That's loads of people who would visit the forum and say, yuck, and then bugger off somewhere else. I'm just thinking of the big picture here :S
That's a good point.

And they wouldn't say that about the tacky beige? To be honest the old theme was why i signed up for AF.com first, but that forum was a dive so i signed up here and decided to tolerate the gross beige.
Stealth theme looked great but didn't scale well, i almost always have two half screen pages open at once which makes a lot of themes look totally out of proportion.

lol no sae, /truth 
Round corners on the old theme looks great on, for instance, the quick reply banner, but all of the other banners look terrible.

Ok, so how many people here would prefer if we just modified the "Stealth Theme" to use Atheist icons, a new banner, and used that as the default?
We would of course keep a similar Stealth Theme for actual "stealth use", but it would have a similar theme to the default (just without any references to atheism).
