So I made this Theme for xF...

So I have another skin design in the works that depends heavily on CSS3 and HTML5. It's my iteration of what a light theme should be; light, powerful, and beautiful. Previews to come soon. (ETA - Friday)
1 thing I dislike about XenForo skins.... They're either all dark (black mostly) or all light (white or gray).

The only design here I'd like to see someone do is this

Not a fan of that style of skin. While I am not 100% complete with the design of my new skin, it is pretty is every respect. I have attached a couple of previews of the new skin I am creating, XeroLite.

Not very big on that menu on the left, and the blue seems to be a bit...off for me. Also, the sidebar seems to be a bit wide :/
Otherwise, gorgeous (y)
 
Hi Shelley, thanks for the feedback! The breadcrumbs are intentional as well as the font size of the node descriptions (based on the original design). I agree with the suggestions on the node icons and node stats, though, thanks! :)

I would honestly deviate from the original then. by giving the font and lowering it to 18px brings it inline of the height of the rss feed icon. With the margin left and lowering of the font-size it brings everything into alignment without it looking erratic.Your call of course nice looking style excellent job with the header/navigation area.

I'd also add some hover effects (even if it's a text color different) in the breadcrumbs.
