Can someone please make me a theme. It is a forum for mental health so I don't want it to be a depressing or a dark theme, I want it to be quite uplifting.
Something similar to what I have now with rainbows and a bigger font. 

I am not very good at being creative. Like I said something cheery

What would you like to see in colors?
How big of a font?
Images used?

I create themes but I would need more information --

When I think of a mental health forum I think of calming colors -- what calms me are not dark, bright, too much patterns (not good) -- me if I have an image to use I will take that and take colors from it to design it.

Do you like tropical images? Beach scenes always seems calming to me when I am stressed not that I am relating to what you have just an observation to get started with this.

Maybe do some searches for images maybe will get more inspiration from that. If I have a couple of images to work with I can get the colors from that.

I do simple, (one background image for the body) type themes. Not too busy but appealing to eyes.

So for your homework -- go to any search engine *you prefer* and look for some images you would like to use -- from Fotki or a free site would be preferred since they will not be copyrighted.

I will do some screenshots of my past themes I have made for myself or others so you can see what I do. Be back later.

What other sites are there? I am new to forums so I have no idea how this all works.

Thank you for helping.

I was thinking light purple and the font a bit bigger than I have now.

All I meant was when you do your search -- for instance I am creating a tropical beach theme for the summer for my forum. I prefer to use Bing (search engine) and put in the search bar -- tropical beach wallpaper -- it brings it up and most times I have to put in IMAGE but not all the time. I am looking for wallpaper like you would use on your computer. Then I code it in such a way that it will not repeat, or stretch the image.

I will have more time later to share some screenshots of what I have done so that you can see for yourself.

Checkout this HTML COLOR site for the purple you would like (I love purple but for me I like the lilacs or plums) -- just play around with it: htmlcolorcodes.com/

I recommend getting a image first then I could grab the color from the image.

This is what I am talking about: search.fotki.com/?q=tropical+beach -- this was my search. To collect this image -- > **EDITED TO TAKE OFF IMAGE**
If you just want color than go to the other link I gave and take a look from there. There is a lot of light purples out there -- pastel is not my favorite so it would be different I want this to be your theme not mine. Use www.google.com and put in like PURPLE WALLPAPER DESKTOP. The image may not be used but I can take the color from it for your theme.

I am sorry @stormcloud70 , I will not have time for this at the moment. A family emergency came up and don't think it will work out schedule wise. Sorry!

I could help with the theme you have if you go into your ADMIN > ADV. STYLES & CSS > VISUAL EDITOR > TEXT STYLES > DEFAULT FONT TEXT -- change it (see window to your right to view the changes as you change it.)

Then, CATEGORIES (under PAGES) > Change the font-sizes -- to what you prefer. Take a look to the right in the window for the changes "real-time".

Need anything else just holler I will be on later tonight and Monday.

You could also go to ADMIN > THEMES > then click on COLORS & THEME CREATOR to change the color to your preferred.
