What do you think of these ones (attached one full-body screenshot and one in-browser view for context)?

Too dark for me. And no Lyceum logo in this theme.

I feel like this theme, as it is right now, doesn't connect with the "look" of web pages on the internet right now. Yes, it is very clean, but I think that boxy like this may not be "in." The boxes shut me down. Makes me think things are too sterile.

Kubrick is a great "default" theme because it is so versatile and benign while still mostly in keeping with current design ideas out there on the web. Lyceum default theme needs to have that same description. It needs to be stylized without imposing an actual design onto the user that can only figure out how to stick with the "defualt" options.

Rather than modding this with just some extra color, can I suggest we just go for another attempt. Sit down and look at the logo. Notice how the green box has curves. Notice how the people are, relatively speaking, long and slender. There's lots of room on the sides of the green bubble to pad the content. The font of the logo is sporting "an ultra modern" curve. Now this feel needs to match what the new theme has: open, fresh, clean, slightly curvy. Play up the green as the accent (i.e. hover for links), but don't impose. Maybe a light blue bg fill or some other neutral, non-esoteric color for the header graphics.

Seems like Ken is swamped with other projects these days, (haven't seen you on IM much). thanks for all your work on this, and spawning discussion and ideas.

I've been talking with Alex Roberts and he has expressed interest in taking on the default portal theme. Alex, welcome to Lyceum and the glory that is ticket 464!
