What phpBB ships with.
What your forum deserves.

- −No dark mode — one static colour scheme
- −No ACP control over accent colour, logo, or hero
- ~Partially responsive — inconsistent on mobile & tablet
- −Generic registration page — no hero, no conversion focus
- −No sticky topbar with blur & backdrop effect
- −Basic notification display — no dropdown panel
- −No sidebar welcome widget, stats block, or recent posts
- −No third-party plugin integration compatibility requests
- +Modern design built for 2025 — immediately sets the tone
- +Full dark & light mode — smooth CSS-variable transitions throughout
- +ACP-driven: accent colour, logo, hero image, board display name
- +Fully responsive — mobile, tablet, ultrawide, all properly handled
- +Split-panel registration page with live member stats & feature list
- +Sticky translucent topbar with backdrop blur
- +Rich notification dropdown — mentions, quotes, replies

- +Plugin compatibility requests welcome — before or after purchase

Hand-written.
All 115 of them.
Not a skin, not an override. Every template was written from scratch — though like most phpBB themes, prosilver is listed as the parent style for framework fallback.

to something different.
Every feature designed for admins who care about how their community feels to use — from the login screen to the deepest ACP panel.
Two themes.
One codebase.
Dark and light aren’t colour swaps of each other — both were designed as primary experiences.
The theme. The plugin.
One download.
