i finally got sick of looking at my boring green two tone theme. the idea was that it was easy on the eyes, and it was but i decided to jazz things up a bit! i looked around the site at other peoples themes for ideas and decided on a darker theme. its still easy on the eyes i think but looks much better in my humble opinion! i was amazed at some of the color choices people use! ah well, to each his own!! i call this theme "ancient noir" . i added a gothic cross for flavor and a blue fleur de lis as well. i've been studying the french language lately so i thought the french symbol in blue went well with the new design! a merry christmas to all of you fellow chess lovers, or a joyeux noel!! au'revoir!
