Just a question about theme styles.

I've always liked gold and silver and have never seen it duplicated in a theme. Is this because 1. it looks crap and no one would like it, and I simply have bad taste, or 2. because its actually really hard to do?

Not gold color, or silver color but actual gold or silver, as in shiny and looks as close to the real thing as possible. In my imagination I picture something like Tutankhamun's funeral mask, with the gold and blue inlaid glass stone as the theme basic concept. An Egyptian theme of sorts.

On the silver side, I always imagined a theme made to look like mercury, reflective chrome look.

Is this sort of thing possible or just too hard and that's why no one has done it, or I simply have terrible taste :cheeky:

well nofx1994 has done a couple "silver" themes. Mercury 7 http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/29784-Mercury-7-theme-by-NOFX1994

which is probably the closest your going to get to a true silver color. and Majestic Metal

as far as a true gold theme, i don't think anyone has made one of those yet. i personally don't think a gold theme would look bad, but normally gold isn't a color that is in very high demand.
