So, after seeing a lot of themes going by the traditional/default layout of MyBB, I decided to approach my own theme in a more unique way. At the current moment, I have only started work on the index page and this topic was created in order to keep others up to date with how it's going. I will post updates to the theme, most likely every 24 hours, but there could be a delay of up to 48 hours before I can post any updates. Below is a screenshot of how the index page looks at the moment.

Basics done! As you can see from the screenshot, I still need to work on the header. I am in 2 minds as to where the welcome panel will be for members. At the moment, I've added it to the right hand side of the nav bar which will also contain a drop-down menu (also needs work). I am thinking of adding this to the right of the logo along with the users avatar (if they have one) and other useful links.

I still need to work on the thead and I'm debating on taking it out fully and just adding a smaller bar, or keeping it and aligning it with it's forums. All of what you see if fully functional and is nearly finished. I may be adding support for custom forum icons, or if users wish, the on/off/lock images.
Footer - Update Coming Soon!
Feedback is much appreciated and so are suggestions. After I finish and post an update for the footer, I will then start work on the thread/postbit elements. I am then going on to modifying profile pages so they are more unique.
Please note, there is still a lot of work to be done!
