Your logo is missing on the light style and there is a default text box on the right side of the header area.

I just revamped my forum and did some major changes tell me what you guys think? http://adminbb.org/
The changes I made http://adminbb.org/threads/adminbb-revamped-important.1326/

Flexible style is nice but it just seems to be so commonly used now.
The thread titles are difficult for me to read on the homepage.
Even the text in posts is difficult for me to read.
Advertise Advertise Advertise Advertise Advertise across the top tells me there is only one reason for running the forum. M O N E T I Z E
Don't fix what ain't broken.

I saw the old AdminBB look before the new changes you've made now. Must admit that I liked the look before much more, sorry!

Agree. I liked the old style too.
 
Jut too add more about the new AdminBB look. Maybe it's me, not sure. But the blue text against the white text on a dark background is producing a strange "3D effect", blue text is standing out in-font of the white text that looks set-back behind it. Dark themes do seem to suffer from this kind of problem when using certain bright text colours like blue. Usually you have to stick with white and grey text to avoid it happening.

It's not something you could stand looking at for very long. Also, wasn't this the theme you used before used on this site: http://www.chatwhatever.com/

I made a new custom style just for adminbb called DeepBlue, whats your thoughts on it? http://adminbb.org/
 
I like the forum (middle page) itself, that looks nice enough. Just my own view here, but I don't really think the two shades of blue used for background go with it very well.

I was take a screen shot of your forum and adjusted the background to give you an idea of what it might look like use a different background colour to compare yourself.

I like this one, I think XF is well suited to a clean, crisp, black/white and minimalist theme. Except for the default forum icons (the speech bubbles), which don't go :)

I see that there are no rounded corners displayed at the top and bottom of your forum, due the changes you've made. With both flush against the top/bottom border added. That opens the door for you to create a better background using shadows left/right of the forum centre page.

If your not sure what I mean by that, click my forum link in signature below to see how I've used it there (shadows)
 
Yeah, I need to create shadows for it to match the main index properly. Thanks for reminding me.

Edit: That's now been done! Now I guess I'll see to changing the on/off icons.

VERY good use of a black and gray theme. Just need to change those status forum icons and you've got a winner, imo.
You can find some really good icons in our graphics section. These come to mind - Square Status Icons
There's a red/gray set and a black/gray set. Many more to choose from if you browse around in there.
