I was thinking to hire a theme coder to code a theme for my site, Jordan was hired and he almost finished his but you know that sad thing happens and Jordan departures from this site. So I decided to take it on my own and started coding a theme from scratch. Yes.. scratch mean starting from default MyBB theme and templates.
Its extremely customized theme, I've edited a lot of templates, almost 85% global.css is redone, added jQuery toggle and modal boxes and coded a plugin as well to get a xenForo taste.
Suggestions to improve are welcome.
I'd add a container rather then leaving it transparent. It doesn't look too good like that. Also, it seems you got a lot of ideas from XenForo nothing wrong with it just saying. The footer needs at least a 25px margin from the container also having it just barely below the container doesn't look nice. The lastpost area isn't too nice as well.
Although, for someone who doesn't create themes too often, not too shabby Yaldaram. Nice to see an administrator who makes an effort.

The container is actually there just I've used background: none; to make it transparent. I used transparency in many areas just to make it simple.

I basically want to unite xenForo with MyBB (Not MyBB with xenForo
)

25px is large IMO, it would make the page long mostly on showthread pages.

Trust me 25px is not too much. Give it a try. Also, what I was trying to say is you should try and add a background to it. What you have now..eh.

Nice design..
But too much transparent 
No, it's not XenForo. It clearly writes Powered by MyBB right on the mockup..
No, It was just a simple joke
.. yes I know it's MyBB
Work the typography... doesnt look cool to me.
