Real Good, the only thing I would have to say to make it better is to lessen the padding on the welcomeblock.

Do you think slightly rounded ones would look better?
For example:

What do people think of the above ^^ Should I ditch all the square on/off buttons in favor of those rounded ones or some up with something entirely new altogether for them.

This theme can be easily customized to fit everything IMO. So there shouldn't be any need of making special status icons. But that's me.

The backgrounds don't look well, to overwhelming for me. Also some gradient colors do not look that good but its fine overall .

emm... you're meant to use your own background. At least that's what I thought to be the purpose of the theme

Yes, use the rounded ones you made! They look 10000x better.

Yep combus is right, your suppose to customize the background rather than the header as I figured changing the background changes the feel of the design far more than the header.

The backgrounds I have used were just a colour with a a few brushes stuck on top, they weren't meant to look spectacular.

Those look great!

What local host software were you using?

Thats XAMPP

Yeah XAMPP.

Someone asked me how to put a header image in so I thought I would post what I told them:

in the MyBB admin panel go Templates & Styles > Templates > shleek > Options > Expand Template set > Header templates > Options > Full Edit

Then replace:

{$mybb->settings['homename']}

With:

<img src="yourimage.jpg" alt="image name" />

The header text though will be the global site name by default so I figured many novices would prefer that rather than an image to change.
