Where is this? How do I change it?
I also just realized that there's a link at the top of the screen to the "Starships and Mecha" guide...labeled "S&M." :?

I prefer Solaris because much of the Star Army color scheme makes my eyes bleed.
A crime against coloration! Most forums suffer from that, sadly.

I have to agree.
Of all the forums that I have ever been on - and there have been many - none of them have appealed to me in the same way that Solaris does. It has a certain simplicity to it that I like, the lines are relatively subtle and of course - the writing is white on black.
That and there's the little red light which tells you if there's a new post. Personally I prefer it to the more complex logo system in Star Army.
Not that I think that Solaris should be the default, but I like to keep it as a nice alternative that a small enclave of weirdo's such as myself (and Yangfan apparently) make use of.
I did actually try to use Star Army for an hour yesterday. It confused and frightened me - like the ludite, conservative fool I am I have now reverted to the original and 'pure' Solaris. Not to mention it's a cool name related to the greatest Russian movie ever made - Solaris - and hopefully not related to the abysmal American remake - Solaris. Not even George Clooney could redeem that movie.

I'm with Zakalwe on this one.
I can't actually read white on blue too well because I'm dyslexic and the simplicity really helps.
One thing I'd like to mention is that if you're browsing StarArmy in a library, people pick up on the characters to kick you out in the banner, not the overall look.
Could a "discreet" varient of Solaris be made?

I'd definately consider maing a discreet theme, ut not one mased on Solaris - Solaris is no longer supported because it was based on someone else's copyrighted theme (which wasn't supposed ot be modified in the first place). StarArmy theme, however, was made based on an open-source theme.
