So which is it? Which dark theme are we going to keep? Whichever one gets the most votes wins.

The poll will follow soon. Oh, and I realize that Serenity is not a "dark" theme per se, but it's on the chopping block and I realize it has a following.

I'm pretty sure if you chop Serenity you might have to enter WitSec.
 
I am torn between WarC and Serenity. I prefer WarC for its darker colors but I like the icons and layout of Serenity better.
 
Yeah, Serenity would make a nice default.

Oh and Allan, who is Quiet, why would you want to stop once you have popped?

its the hassle of feature creep. Not all the themes are easy to update, is my guess.

What she said. Basically if we keep it to only two styles I will only have to change two templates. The really cool modifications for vBulletin require you to change the style templates. I refuse to do this with more than 2 because it gets difficult to control and contain and gets to be unstable.
 
Why is Serenity being considered a dark theme? It seems to me like it should be an option for one of the light themes to be kept.

Because I have a light theme waiting in the wings that I'm rolling out as soon as this gets chosen. So basically it's the theme that gets chosen other than that one.

I've put the light theme in so you can see it. It looks like a lot but it's the same style with several color choices. You change the parent style and the rest changes right along with it. 1 change and 25 templates get updated.
 
Heeey, it's not fair to put up Serenity competing with the "dark" themes since it's not dark! It's the obvious favorite, always has been! But I like my dark theme to be DARK.. I use gScale and used AcidTech on the other forum... can't we really keep one actually DARK theme? :(
 
I don't like that Evo doesn't really visually tell you which threads you've posted on, though. The little color change in the icon is barely noticeable. At least with Evo Black.
 
Eh, Evo is okay but it's the background from Serenity that goes so easy on my eyes. I would be pretty bummed to lose it, more so than I usually care about a theme.
 
Actually, I take that back, WarC is pretty nice as well, although I don't like it quite as much since the smilies look bad. I could learn to love it if it wins.
