    Need the community opinion on a new theme Link to this post

    My name is João Alves and I'm adapting the amazing iTheme by http://www.ndesign-studio.com/ to the SilverStripe CMS.

    Here's a screenshot:

    The main content area is 545px wide and the forum content is usually larger than that (760px).

    My question is how could I adapt the design to the forum module?

    Do you think I should reduce the size of the forum elements, expande the main content area or that any other action?

    Please tell me what you think. Your opinion is very important. :)

    In my opinion, you should decrease the modules width - using smaller fonts should look great!
    (thanks to Will I'm a big fan of 0.8em size and anything that is less than 12px ;) )

    I was recently making themes which had even less space for a forum so I can tell that a thinner forum is ok. I think that extending the layout itself would be a mistake.

    I'm looking forward to your theme, it looks awesome for me!!

    Thank you for your opinion Wojtek!

    I'll try it out. I'm sure it'll look just great if I follow your indications.
