}!important is needed for Stylish (FF extension).
I’ll see if I can separate the necessary amendments in my Stylish sheet from those for my personal prefs. I copied some colors from the .com site and have an atmoshere that comes close to that of the mothership.

Thank Uli. You could just post your version here anyway. Some of us might prefer your colours; maybe they could be folded into the tabula css instead of the current scheme if enough people like them? (that might not be easy: I don’t know what’s involved as I’m a forum admin doughnut).

Re: Guests: 58, Users: 2. -- Pardon?
I’ve had a look at the full Tabula CSS files and they are nice and clean – which makes it very easy to amend. There’s a couple of suggestions I could make also – some of the vendor prefixes are not needed anymore, for instance…
.pun blockquote {
color:#555;
margin-bottom: 1.0em !important;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #FDA;
border-width: 3px 1px 1px 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft:0px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
border-top-right-radius: 10px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
}could be shortened to just…
.pun blockquote {
color: #555;
margin-bottom: 1em !important;
border: solid #FDA 3px 1px 1px 3px;
border-radius: 0 10px 10px 10px;
}Not needed -moz-border-radius since Firefox 4 and -webkit-border-radius since Safari 5 (and because it is purely cosmetic flourishes anyway you can drop those safely without any ill effects).

Ah, well, let’s see ;)
My CSS is pretty dirty, but copying it over to Stylish surely won’t harm your poor foxes.
body {
border-top: 16px solid #C7D3D8 !important;
}
.pun a:link,
.pun a:visited,
.pun h2 a:link,
.pun h2 a:visited,
#brdmenu a:link,
#brdmenu a:visited,
li.maintenancelink a:link,
li.maintenancelink a:visited,
div.postmsg a:link,
div.postmsg a:visited {
color: #4A80BE !important;
}
label {
color: #4A80BE !important;
}
.blockform {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F0F2F6 !important;
}
tr.inew {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F0F2F6 !important;
}
.inew + .tclcon {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F0F2F6 !important;
}
.intd {
margin-left: 7px !important;
}
.blockpost {
border-top:1px solid #AEB7C0 !important;
}
.pun blockquote {
border-color: #D2D7DD !important;
}
.pun code, .pun pre {
background-color: #E0E4E9 !important;
}
p.page-links a:link,
p.page-links a:visited,
p.pagelink a:link,
p.pagelink a:visited {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F0F2F6 !important;
}What I completely left out here is the desparate attempt to colour submits/buttons in TXP/Hive-style yellow. I pulled my hair out over it and just ended in square buttons, system style :/ I absolutely concur with Destry about the importance of yellow for the TXP brand. And cause I removed yellow from Tabula rasa’s head stripe in favour of the mothership style (OK, something around that, with the necessary respect to David DeSandro) I thought a nice spot could be the buttons, they’re on each page and they’re always above the fold when opening a page.

Re: Guests: 58, Users: 2. -- Pardon?
Re: buttons – I’ve actually dialled back the yellow buttons in my new theme/structure proposal (in progress). The Hive theme has taken a back seat for the moment while I do more important projects (though I may roll some of of the newer theme styling back into it at some point). So I don’t think you need worry about trying to match any existing site stuff to it.

I see. The same, just… bluer. You’re right that splashes of yellow wouldn’t go amiss.

textpattern.com also has that yellow button, and it’s cool and nice. My CSS still lacks the yellow. Sadly, it needed somebody’s intervention. After several attempts and researches I gave up on yellow forum buttons. Still need my hair.

Nice. If the font-sizes were bumped up just a bit, I’d say we have a winner for a while.
And I’m glad for the classic look. Thanks!

Re: Guests: 58, Users: 2. -- Pardon?
Another winner: Results after last days changes :) I can’t remember when I last saw more than 10 logged-in users! Probably years back.
Topics with new postings: from around 12 up to 22. Phew!
Thanks to all involved, with ideas or coding!
Also nice to have a figurehead of a forum theme by a pretty well known man. We could mention David DeSandro as the creator in the footer, btw.
One small kink that’s easily ironed out: overlapping links in the footer of index.php.

Hi Robert,
Can you tweak the forum min-width rule just little a bit? Maybe to 580px.
