I'm curious to know if members can create their own themes and possibly have the themes used as an theme option for the forum as a whole?

If so, how would one go about creating the themes?

You'd have to learn CSS and such, and make a full IPB theme with images. If it's good, I wouldn't mind adding it to the list for everyone to be able to use. The forum version is 3.2 if you want to look into it.

While my CSS is rusty, I do know it though. Also, would CSS be the only thing needed? Any particular images to use?

Some photoshop or similar image editor skills. You're going to need images for different post tags and such. I suggest getting the firebug addon and taking apart the IP.Board skin to see all the things you'd need.

If you do go ahead and work something up, might I suggest a digital green kinda theme?

You know, like, all matrix and neon and junk :ph34r:
