Link me smangii's portfolio pl0x.
But yeah maybe we shouldn't put our trust on PB and instead make our own paid theme directory.

It's not personal or freelance, he works with a proper firm I do believe. Not sure of any work he has done.
I want a completely new poll system on PB forums. Don't you all think the simple horizontal style is so rubbish, boring, plain and just old? SO many infographic examples that COULD work wonders, but we have this one sbland layout and it's been like it for what, 100yrs lol

Yeah, I'd imagine it would be easy to customize tho? Honestly, I haven't even touched the v5 admin panel lol.
So are xenforo and IPB easy to code for? I want to release my themes across all platforms.

Well, I requested, as a feature, a way to edit the Poll Template in the admin panel. Can't remember if it was accepted, but I am sure even if it was it'll be one of those ideas that they will use last. I understand that there are far greater and important things to concentrate on, but forums can be better.
No clue for Xeno or IPB.. For those, you'd be wanting to charge, so if you could, try get someone to code (or help code) for you, and of course split profits you make.
I saw some themes on Xenoforo, and I have to admit they are not very good and they are up for sale for like $25, and $35 with hundreds, or thousands of downloads.

ok, I think you kinda convince that there is a marketplace for forum themes.
I made two designs recently. Pretty sure this is better than most forum themes I see in the XF/IPB directory.

Hey
theanswer, blanka was it? I don't design nowadays anymore sadly, it's a hobby that's reached a dead-end, I do however wanna do freelancing for like one year now but that never got any traction (read: I'm lazy). I haven't designed for PB in YEARS, I have never even used a PB forum running on whatever you guys are using nowadays (v5?). I was never really a prolific pb skinner anyways, I used to make a lot of stuff for ProVision though when I did requests.
I'll just comment on the last two designs you posted since it seems everyone got the others:
I don't like the atrium one tbh, it's much too simplistic and dark for me, I have a bias for bright and vivid colored themes though. Honestly i've seen this kind of design waay too much. Buut I do like the cat bg/grad (lol is that still a term?) with the stars on it, I think overall for all the boxes you should add a border stroke to make them more defined, this should be of a dark color
Second one, the top portion with all the albums/pictures is a little too wide, takes most of the page but otherwise well executed. The forum bit in the middle is beautifully done, again maybe the borders should be better defined to make it sharper. Maybe you can even try rounding one edge of that box like you did with the user/avy box at the top. Try making the bottom part pop more with the links maybe add icons next the forum news for example to make it more attractive. I like this design though overall a lot, it really seems like a "living forum" you know? Like it's actually being used?
Sorry if it's not thaaat useful of feedback. Overall great work though, glad to see you still designing!

Yeah, it's Blanka. I remember you were pretty good at photo manipulation @ one point and I definitely remember the small forum you opened up back in the days (total forgot the name.
Yeah, simple and flat design is the trend nowadays. I haven't touch this design in like 3 months so yeah not sure I'll get a chance to go back to it.
Which one is the theme are you talking about for the 2nd one? And nah none of my themes are live cuz i have no coder haha.
But yeah nice to see teh gang back
