Are you saying it won't work even with a small amount of tweaking?

Next, if compatibility is the only problem, we ought to be able to have a Minimalistic Theme that looks approximately like what it looks like now, but with greater functionality than it currently exhibits. But you've said you're going to go for orange-on-white, etc. So "impracticality" (due to vBulletin constraints) appears to be an excuse, or not important, or just plain irrelevant, if you're going to go with a color-scheme etc. that many people have been objecting to.

So why don't you lay out the bottom line: Is it this notion that even the non-default options have to look like maemo.org?
The old theme would work with tweaking but every update would require tweaking to all the themes so more themes you have more tweaking you have to do. Reggie has stated if someone wants to do a new dark theme and have the community vote on it like this theme was voted on my community then we would add it, but every upgrade that person would have to tweak it.

In my thread about the minimalist theme I have stated several times that my main project for minimalist theme will be to match it to the current maemo.org theme. Then after all the improvements and changes I will invert the bottoms colors giving you a dark gray like the header with white/light text, but I will keep the orange for links. The work wont be done until after I get all the upgrades are done.
