Salvete amici,
Noster Iohannes, of course, would be the best person to tell us what he means by a "draft"; but I wouldn't mind seeing a mockup of some kind, an image (maybe a screenshot) of the proposed theme, with the custom SVR elements pasted in via an image editor.
I regard our basic color-scheme as being: Black, amber, white, and that deep red that we've got on the sidebar of our Web site. The gold-on-black logo is our nicest one; a gold background, like on the business cards I did up for the Curatores, is also an option for areas not containing large amounts of text.
Whatever we go with, do keep it usable for the visually-impaired (like Marius). Good contrast, an easy-on-the-eye color-scheme, and the ability to resize the text are a must. Also, there's no reason not to download more than one theme; we could add any or all of the ones Sodales have said they liked on the demo-theme thread Iohannes mentioned.
Mi Minucia, I am so pleased that you have made this offer. A lot of things haven't been done on the site and on this Board for the simple reason that I don't know how. The efforts of others who are more technically adept than I are always appreciated. >({|:-)
In amicitia,
Aldus Marius Peregrinus.
