I spent a couple of hours messing around with a local install of phpBB and concluded that the theme system is awkward as hell. I can't work out how to effectively alter the themes and templates to do what I wanted, becuase the CSS file you use seems to have no effect on anything, it's all done through a very annoying web interface that's severely limited, and often makes irrational changes to part of the theme it shouldn't. I got ticked off with it and gave up.
I've established that a black theme is out of the question unless someone fancies redoing all the default graphics icons with a back background instead of grey/white.
I'll have another look and see if I can get something worked out for a white theme, but I really just keep ending up with green on white which looks like something lifted off the Matrix DVDs
Anyone who has any ideas or suggestions towards a more web designer friendly would be appreciated!

I've just been poking around on phpBB's site and it's hard to find any of the themes--I wonder if, in their update to phpBB 3, they've made the site a bit too awkward to navigate. I remember (ages ago) looking for themes and seeing lovely little thumbnails and descriptions, but now I get broken links and no thumbs at all.
I'll keep trying to sort out whether there's an easier way to change the styles without tons of frustration.
