In my experience, not everyone can view a darker style.... I generally try to keep my default light because I have a few color blind members and also member that are older Veterans. you will be doing yourself a dis-service by eliminating the choice of members. VB was created to use different styles, to give people no options will be showing them to the door. If it hurts their eyes to view it they wont spend any time here.
I love dark styles but I have used a white and grey style for years because one of my main staff members is color blind and 65 years old.... he needs a larger print and easy to read pages....
Do what you want but you will be turning people away.
At the least give people a few options... light, dark...
Do you realize that most people are still using older computers and 800x600 res? What about them? They are a BIG part of your market.....

One notable change is the vb.org design.
FYI: We will no longer support having multiple "Styles". :knockedout: :hurt:
Umm.. So does that mean that the other styles will no longer be selectable, or just that the vb.org staff won't be making any changes to them from their current state (and will eventually be uncompatible with later vB versions)?

All styles are being removed and replaced with the one in the color chosen here.

We are very aware of color blind members, and color combinations which hurt peoples eyes. Dark styles, very light styles, some combinations of colors, these are all things which are considered.
