Dark Revolution is my first public theme release in quite a long time. The theme name comes from the fact that the theme itself comes with a feature I've never seen before - a theme control panel (kind of -it's still very simple). Basically, once you install the theme and the accompanying plugin, you can customise the colour of the theads and buttons using a single control panel within the Styles & Templates area (see the screenshot below). The theme also includes some fancy jQuery effects as is to be expected.

Thanks a lot You can make it even more unique using the theme control panel too

There sure are. Same with in the welcomeblock in the header. Both use jQuery.noconflict(). Thanks a lot ^^ I just hope it gets validated in the MyBB Mods DB. I submitted it two days ago, but they might not like it because of the plugin being packaged haha

I can't see it being a problem. I think they check the coding in all themes and plugins. If it's coded well, which I'm sure it is, they should approve it.

I hope they do :] They're usually just a little bit faster than this haha.

I hope it works fine for you - please post back with any issues/feedback!

I sure will.
I know there's a custom theme control panel for it, so I assume that changing any settings in this automatically overwrites the css for the theme?
Sorry, I really should wait until I install it tonight but I am really liking the uniqueness of it.

Yup, it overwrites the CSS. It unfortunately has to use an inline style as MyBB doesn't accept variables in CSS files. It also allows you to add a meta description for SEO purposes. You can change the banner using the same control panel.

Cool. Ok, I'll install it later tonight and test it out. If I run into any problems, I'll come looking for you.
