Hey folks, back again with a brand-new special-edition limited-time-only update.
The Colour Picker has officially entered its BETA stages.
I've fixed most of the issues from the Alpha version including-but-not-limited-to:
But not only does this release include bugfixes and slight mods to make it work globally across the site.
This release also includes a new feature!
ALL THE GREEN LINKS FROM THE STANDARD DARK THEME ALSO CHANGE COLOURS RELATIVE TO YOUR SELECTED ACCENT COLOR!
But no, they don't just change to the same colour. They're offset slightly to add a bit of variance to the site.
Some colours work better than others, and ideally once we finally hit the full release, I'll probably be adding an option to set the link colours separately from the typical accent/header colours. Right now it's a fixed value, offset from the colour you select, so if you choose a green accent like I generally think looks nice, the links unfortunately take on a weird cream-coloured yellow. But for colours like blue, pink/purple, red, orange, it seems to work just about as well as I was hoping.
Here's a couple screenshots of index pages:

Not gonna embed them because they're all full size and I don't want to break formatting too much.
So give it a shot.
Play around with it, and if you find something that should be themed but isn't themed properly, then please let me know so I can push a fix ASAP.
I may really need all your help with this one because of the change I mentioned that'll help me port stuff over. If no bugs are found, I'll end up deleting a pretty big chunk of code which will improve performance. Right now, the theme runs on the newer portable code, so I need to know if it's breaking anything.
I'm also open for more suggestions. I've got time to implement new theming options if needed, only taking two classes this semester.
Cheers.

- UserCP styling
- New posts/threads
- Post-views
- Anything on the index pages that wasn't quite up to my personal standards.
