To make a long story short my host decided it was time for me to upgrade to MyBBB 1.8 a couple of nights ago.  When I checked in on my board the next day the default theme was a mix of the old default theme and the new one.  I tried downloading one of the (3) free themes currently available, but they just aren't suitable for my traffic and are buggy.  Is there anywhere I can download the new default theme and install it so I at least have something functional for most of my users?
Download latest MyBB Package:
https://mybb.com/download

The default theme will be:
upload/install/resources/mybb_theme.xml
You don't really need to reinstall it as MyBB already has a feature for that: 

From the Upgrading Documentation:

Quote:Visit your Admin Control Panel, then go to Templates & Style > Templates > Find Updated Templates. This will show you a list of all the templates that have changed during the upgrade.

You can either revert these templates to their default - meaning all the changes you've made to it will be removed - or you can see a Diff Report which will show you exactly what's changed. If you have a custom theme installed, it is probably best that you look at the Diff Report and apply the changes you need.

Please read a trick I provided for a previous user in 2016 with not same but similar dilemma of needing the default theme in a rescue/savior file: https://community.mybb.com/thread-206870...pid1257270

@effone


That only accounts for half of the theme as 2 files are actually merged during install

Henced the linked instructions I provided here: https://community.mybb.com/thread-206870...pid1257270 to simply show how to manually merge the two to make an actual complete mybb_theme file not a partial.



@NulDev

Diff , edit and or revert is purely template related. The op claims having mixed displays of old and new so there  is a possibility that the problem would not be fully resolved by diff and edit or revert on purely a template level if some or all of the problem turns out to be css diff related, hence again the reason for providing the linked  instructions here: https://community.mybb.com/thread-206870...pid1257270
