I recently started working on theme for MyBB. I started by simply integrating bootstrap, but then I decided to make best MyBB theme in da world. Here is list of things what I did:
- Theme is fully responsive and mobile friendly
- Moved most of javascripts to bottom of site to speed up loading time of site
- Moved base JQuery and Prototype .js under stylesheets, so now they can load in parallel
- Made almost entire site image-less (pure CSS buttons, headers and so)
- Implemented latest Bootstrap framework
- Started removing tables from entire site (yep, tables sucks)
- Modified prototype.js to not collide with jquery and Bootstrap
- Modified some MyBB core files to show nice forum status badges on forum index and forum display
- Simplified and totally overhauled forum index and forum display
- Wrapped all logged user options what was before in header displayed next to eachother to dropdown menu
- Created very nice jumbotron on portal page for registering and forum carousel
- Created new tabbed user profiles
My ultimate plans:
- Remove ALL tables from MyBB
- Remove most of resting images from theme
Actually, my plan is to release this theme when I will finish it as paid (yes paid, becouse I spent a lot of hours working on this and I think thid theme deserve it) theme for start and maybe later make it free.
Looking real good so far. I wish you luck!
Thanks @Roach. Updated some things in theme, like replaced before system of displaying forum bit and forum display threads from pull-right and pull-left classes to Bootstrap grid system, so it is now fully responsive.

@Deathbeam: Please, can you adjust those screenshots as thumbnails in your first post?
This theme looks good and has a modern appearance (fully responsive! - great improvement).
L.E.: One single question: you said that your intention is to "Remove ALL tables from MyBB". I suppose that these are replaced with "div's", right?
Did you mean it when you say ALL???

Oh sorry for that, I will replace that images with thumbmails or links. And yes, I wanna replace ALL tables with Bootstrap Grid system or simply by divs.
Looks very good so far, keep it up.
Great work, buddy.
I love it. Good luck with development.

Making a Bootstrap theme too
It look totally different though, has different features and will be opensource - for 1.8 only.
Interesting to see how other people do it.
Nice to have some competition, good luck to you.
