Just another one of my simple, color-based themes for Phorum. I could see this theme working well on a variety of websites. My aunt is often called Rosie by her friends, so this template is dedicated to her.

This is a port of a theme from Cutecast.org, which features hosted forums. Just love the color combination on this simple theme and wanted to do it for Phorum.
This is a port of a Wordpress theme. When we were doing the design for our personal blog, we wanted a coffee theme. I couldn’t find anything I liked with a specific coffee angle, but I did fall in love with the deep browns and peach of the Maidens of the Mountain Theme. When doing Phorum templates, this is one I really wanted to do.
This is a port of a template I had designed for our Bitmap World comic. (Though, admittedly, it was heavily inspired by a Cutecast template called “Smiley”) We use a different theme on our comic’s forum now, but I still really like the bright yellow and blue on this one. This theme is named after Harvey Ball, the creator of the smiley face.
With the Phorum project, I tried to balance the types of themes we created, making sure there were light themes, dark themes, women’s themes, etc. I found this graphic when looking for art for the food theme. It ended up inspiring a whole separate template.
Firey hot theme. Not much to say other than I love how the colors work. Simple theme just using color, no graphics.
One of my passions is cooking. I come from a long line of good cooks, not to mention my grandparents/father owned restaurants I worked in as a kid. The internet has allowed so many people to share their recipes and cooking talents. I wanted to design a template that would work for a food-themed forum.
If you want to see some of my recipes, many are listed here.
Wanted to do a template that could be used on a business site. I do use photo images in my designs, but I have to admit to preferring vector art. The great icons by DaPino-Colada worked well in the design.
Note that Jim modified the header graphic so that it is fluid, meaning that you can adjust the width of the forum to your specifications and keep the header in tact.
Teal is one of my favorite colors. After doing over 2 dozen themes, I realized I hadn’t done a teal one yet. I was inspired by this great floral background tile by John Rawsterne.
This is actually a theme I created for one of my own sites. I loved the background and color scheme so much, I used it as a blog and as forum template. I no longer use this design, but I loved it so much that I wanted to share it through Phorum.
