I was up early this morning and pretty bored. So, I mucked about with FNGT for a while, before I went to help in the kitchen. I have since been kicked out of the kitchen.
But, I might as well announce this now, though I figured I'd do it later. I'll even make it sticky for a while. (I wonder if I can make stickies auto-expire? That seems like a good feature and I'm sure you've all noticed my love of stickies.)
You can pick among several themes now. That's right... Ol' Buddha actually edited images, CSS, and HTML - all things I pretty much suck at. I spent the morning learning the rudiments of Firefox's Developer Tools. They enabled me to find the right line number in the HTML or CSS (some themes have more than one CSS loaded) and from there I was able to guess and make a bunch of edits until I figured out what was doing what! That worked.
I'm sure I fucked it up, 'cause I used hard values in some places. Instead of %, I used hard *px values. In the default theme, "Dani", I could actually now edit it so that the cassette image didn't overlap. I know how to do that now! But, I kinda like it.
Anyhow, if you want to change your theme, the link is right here - it's the topmost option:
https://fngt.gq/profile/?area=theme
(https://fngt.gq/profile/?area=theme;u=1)
Also, have a nice image. I couldn't figure out where to put it or anything. I like it. I will share it. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the hard work.
A couple things:
Is the first profile look available? The darker one?
The link you provided sent me to your profile page. Maybe the path would be better - Profile/Forum Profile/Modify Profile/Look and Layout
Hope your day is going well.

Is the first profile look available? The darker one?
All the themes that you see should be available. There are Dani, Orange Crush, SMF Default, and Core. They're a pain in the ass to customize when I don't really know CSS very well. and some of them call on external libraries like bootstrap.
At the link provided, it's the top-most option. It's under look and layout in your profile settings. I can't link directly to it, 'cause of the security token involved.
As you're user 3, this link might take you to the page, but you'll still need to click to edit. It's part of the security built in to SMF. Profile of COF (https://fngt.gq/profile/?area=theme;u=3)
And, I'm kinda enjoying the work. It's "done", as in ready for use, but I still keep poking at it. If you check my profile, it'll tell you how long I've been logged in *and* actively using the site, more or less. I've been having fun!
