The board area is definitely "lacking" some style. 😛 But other things to note include the grey menu, which could easily, but doesn't fit the color scheme. You could play around more with grey in the board area. That may make everything fit.

However, if you don't own the theme, do you have editing rights?

He said that it's under the GPL theme, but I don't think you're allowed to edit themes without permission.

 

[Rick Ace]

It's GPL? I don't see that anywhere. But like you said, it depends on the license on whether or not permission is required.

Ah. Well, if that's the case, I think you can work on customizing the forums area. It looks too similar to the default there. 🙂 I would consider more colors to develop a sophisticated color scheme. And definitely work on the fonts. 🙂

 

[Quacker Jack]

Agreed with Rick. While it is a nice theme, it doesn't say anything about your forum. It isn't customized to your forum, so to speak. It needs to have a little character.

There is definitely a lot of simple things you can do to make the theme "yours" in some sense. Your banner could use a little work, but so can a lot of other peoples' as well. The forum icons are the biggest thing that people always forget about. You can make simple ones such as two letters, for example FP, and make two different color tones to go with read and unread. Also, you can always add in some sort of background instead of the bland white color which is very basic.

It is a nice style, very basic, but a great beginning to work with.

 

[Egoista]

A VERY light grey background would look really nice.

Other than that, I love the simplicity.

There's just too must whitespace. It's not necessarily bad, but you might want to bring the items a bit closer together.
It appears you are using plain text for the logo. Well, that does the job, but does not look very professional. Try creating a better logo.
