This skin stretches my laptop screen q.q
it's really annoying.

All others had a nice fit.

Avatar size still 160x160...

I hoped you would change it so the pictures would be at least somehow visible...

Regretably its not stretching anything for me, it just became even smaller than the previous one.

That should be one of the best features of any theme actually, with the forum adapting to the screen resolution.

If you are going to use HTML/CSS for resizing the user avatar that's in the top right panel (which is a really bad idea, since you're still using a lot of extra bandwidth on sending an image that's much larger than what's actually being rendered in the browser), I'd recommend using

#panel img {
max-height: 65px;
padding-right: 10px;
max-width: 65px;
}

instead of

#panel img {
height: 65px;
padding-right: 10px;
width: 65px;
}

from global.css in Personal-theme.xml, and removing the width and height tags from the image (from the "header_welcomeblock_member" template, inside the same xml file), so it's proportionally resized (<- link) to fit into 65px*65px, and not stretched to fit into 65px*65px (<- link) like it is now.

Older browsers such as IE6 won't play well with max-width/max-height (<- link), but it doesn't look like IE6 support is a big worry here as far as I can see in global.css - you're already using it in the dropdown menus for selecting fonts and text size.

Another possibility would be to reuse what you're using to generate* the proportionally scaled widths and heights for postbit avatars. That'd work in any browser without issues, though I'm guessing actually implementing that would be a bit more complicated than I'm expecting it to be - I've never used myBB myself.

And a few other things that I noticed with this theme:

• It uses text colors similar to the background color in a few dropdown boxes (font, text size - it's white on white) and under the quick reply box which is quite hard to read, in my opinion.
  
• Links are by default invisible (white on white, no underlining) unless you hover your mouse over them.
  
• If the FL community network navbar on the top of the page is supposed to have the same colour as the background, it's a bit off.

*Might be inc/functions_image.php, though it seems to be for resizing images and saving them as a new file in the myBB version I'm looking at here, and not for generating <img> tags with proportionally scaled width/height values like the forum (discoverygc.com) is doing in the postbits now (as far as I can see).

That should be one of the best features of any theme actually, with the forum adapting to the screen resolution.

Agreed. The best layout is a responsive layout. Unfortunately, they're relatively difficult to make, especially when you're trying to adapt a page that you've already got to a responsive layout.

I like it. So this will be the only theme?

I hope so, the white theme is a shit. It's for the best to stay like this, only one theme. No more white colored font on white them! Huray!

First reaction wasn't exactly positive, but overall it seems to be okay, colours and all. A few quibbles, though:

• The pillow-like forum icons need to go, as Hidamari pointed out;
  
• The drop shadow on text is pretty tacky and needs to a) have its opacity greatly reduced (16% black on top of the default background colour should be the absolute limit for text you're going to be reading in a post) or b) removed entirely (I'm in favour of option 2);
  
• The first post in a thread is conjoined to the post header, which looks pretty weird and honestly I'd just stick the default padding there instead;
  
• What Error pointed out about the UCP avatar, as well as the links (definitely the links);
  
• The padding inside headers looks really awkward--it's useful on posts for obvious reasons but when you have two overlapping background colours plus a background image tossed in, it doesn't really work.
  

Possibly more, this is just what I get after looking around for a few minutes. I'm not a huge huge fan of some of the styling choices elsewhere (the repeating cyan background image for headers gives me kind of a 90's vibe, honestly), but it's mostly stuff that isn't at the centre of the user experience and thus will fade into the background quickly.

I pretty much like it, so far the only thing that's bothering me is the lack of a "Today's Posts" section, or a section where all new posts are otherwise displayed.

I can foresee this causing a lot of threads like Communications and other forum RP stuff to go unnoticed...but then, maybe I'm just lazy xD
