Make the background of the whole page that snowflake thing. I like that. The gray bg is out of place.

Fix the header. It says "Fall Theme"

The color of the header also doesn't blend so nicely, but it works.

Click Me (http://lsforum.com/play/)The snowflakes look cool.

Maybe add some on/off icons and change the footer?

Here are some of the images from the Christmas style (vb2x) that was released a while back

Steal some phpBB buttons. They're white. ;)

I don't have white ones, but how about some green ones? (IMO the style lacks green)

Actually yes - Vile's suggestion is probably better than stealing the phpBB ones. It does lack green. That'll really add some flavor.

Just had a look at the zip, and it's not the same one posted by Sinecure:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33976

IIRC, I got this one from vBT
Before i posted it, I looked at the readme to see if it said he did not want it to be distributed, but I didn't see anything on that.

But that's just me, IMO.

Hmmm... okay:)

I could've sworn that was Sinecure's XP Green button set, though...

Honestly, I have no idea, but here is (www.mgforums.com/files/christmas.zip)the original zip if you want to have a look. Maybe this guy (Keyser Söze) took the buttons from Sinecures button set?

i don't like all that christmas stuff and i don't like your design.

What is your board's name?
'Merry Christmas'? The header says so ;)

You should do a new header, telling the users your board's name. The current one looks cheap ;)

not perfect but it looks better ;)

Why i personally don't like xmas?
On early august you could buy christmas cookies and those little chokolade figures in germany. All that xmas stuff drives me crazy, i see trees and santa claus everywhere. Anywhere i go i hear christmas carols and the christmas fair is boring as usual.
Thats too early and too much for me, i guess in near future christmas will be the same day as my birthday (late may).
Nothing against you but the tought on having a 'christmas web' makes me sick :D
