I mean, I like the Dial UP theme's colors, and asked if it would be possible to apply it to normal broadband themes or create a new one with those colors.

I mean only colors - I love them

Edit : I just got your post

Yes, I miss the extra graphical attributes of the normal ones in Dial Up theme. I'd like avatars and sigs, at least, in a theme with those colors.

I like how I can browse the site much more easily with my T-Mobile Sidekick using the Dial Up style, however I dislike the shades of grey color scheme. Maybe brighten it up a bit?

Personally I like the grey....

Just a random question but can you (the normal user) still reactivate avatars and such in this theme or are they totally removed?

That's simple to check: switch to the skin and check your profile/options to see if it's there.

Yeah I really should go check that myself....Sorry I was lookign forward to reading my English homework (for once!) too much to think of that.

EDIT: I checked, the boxes are still checked, this style just doesn't support them.

Please explain discrimination?

I think this is an intermediate solution.

Originally, the Dial Up style (which can be used by anyone for whatever reason) did support avatars and signatures. The user can always turn that on and off in his userCP. But then I figured, that users can get caught (broadband, because the monthly bandwidth is expired and thus the rest of the month is 28k, broadband users without limits stuck in some download/upload, but I remember my narrowband performance dropping too) and then it would be nice to have a lite skin at the fingertips. The skinselector is in the left bottom of every page.

Right now, the archive is the lightest skin you can find, but it lacks reply buttons. So, there's still 'work' to do.
