You're off to a nice start, but if you want your board to stand out from all of the rest I reccomend a color scheme other then grey.

I'd suggest using a custom color scheme, one that is good looking, easy on the eyes, and one that is fitting to the theme of your board. It's a good idea to decide what main color you want to base the color scheme on (blue, green, red, ect.) then use about 3 matching colors or shades through out the entire forum.

For example, if you use blue, make sure everything matches blue in the forum. You may want make the title bar a dark blue or black, then the category bar a lighter blue (Gradients are recommended, but lets worry about the colors before we get into custom graphics). After I've done that, I would make my window bg 1 the same dark blue as you used in your title bar (if you went with dark blue) then I'd make the bg window 2 color the lighter blue you used in the category bar.

Like I said, it doesn't have to be blue, that is just an example of how to make the colors match, and balance them out throughout the forum, keeping a nice variety and a nice balance of the colors.

One thing, which is important, is to have the link colors and text color either different colors, or at least different shades. It is important on any website or forum for the links to stand out from all of the other text and be easily recognizable.

Here is a decent site for hex color reference.

Your post indicators seem to have a large background. I'd crop that out so that the post indicator cell isn't so big.

The white cell highlight also doesn't match, but you can work on that if and when you re-vamp your colors.

I would also suggest making your banner the same width as your forum, as that usually looks best on all ProBoards.

You're off to a nice start, but I feel it could use some tweaks here and there.

Good luck.
