Night vs Day light

Sooo...I played with this for far too long. The idea was to have two sidebars, but actually have them a part of the forum instead of just being full of information no one reads. So, I put the shoutbox into the left and the info center information into the right. (Similarly to my redwood theme, but differently executed). Plus, you can add whatever information you want using some HTML in the Forum Wrapper layout template. If you need some help with this, just ask.
I encourage you to edit the following:
The left/first image is set by your banner's background image: Themes > Colors & Theme Creator > you will find Banner Image and a spot for a URL.
The right/second image is set in the stylesheet: Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Stylesheet, at the very top you will find:
/* NIGHT VS DAY - CHOOSE YOUR RIGHT SIDE BACKGROUND */
@right_background: url('this is where you will put a URL for an image');
Don't like the blue?
Just above the CSS line for the background is a @global_color variable, which you can change to anything. It (should) replace all the blues with whatever color you want.
Want to add your own info to the right side?
Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper
Find this line: <!-- you may add stuff below if you choose to -->
Right below that is the credits box (Which you should probably keep and add to, if you use someone elses' codes or images!
)
Feel free to add any HTML you want here.
Why can't I add stuff to the left side?
You can, but I couldn't figure out how to get the left side to scroll like the right...
Only put small content here, otherwise users with smaller monitors won't be able to see your info!
You can remove the $[shoutbox]and put on the right to give yourself more room, but just be aware that it will not scroll.

Really digging the style here, but as always I dislike one thing 
and that is: I don't like the faded out boxes on the left and right. I don't want to hover my mouse where I want to read something.
I agree-ish. The only reason I included it in there is so that the backgrounds can take up most of the real estate. Without the transparency, little of the backgrounds are shown. And the idea of the theme is to have two very opposite backgrounds (or similar, whatever) and have your forum's content represent the middle ground of those.
But thank you for the critique, as always <3

I can't download it from the site you used. Is there anywhere else you have it stored? Thank you!
Any reason why not? I mean does it give an error or.. ?

Is there a way to add a banner to the top of this theme? I like graphics a lot and members seem to enjoy a nice, centered image that overlooks the whole forum. Would this be possible?
Not currently no, my original idea was to stray from a banner at the top and stick to more of a "side" banner. I'd suggest aiming for a different theme if that is your style, unless you want to take a stab at editing this one feel free to. All of my themes are free to edit.
How do I change my theme to Night vs Day? I don't know anything about this and I just joined.
Hey jabber take a look a this thread that explains how to install themes:
