Iwas just looking at the colours, but definitely Overview.

Dark Break is by far the best.... but maybe not for everyone.

I voted "none".
The top menus from Cargo or DSv4 look 10 times cooler than any of the above:

http://demo.dzinerstudio.com/smf2/index.php?theme=13

I know they're not free but I'm sure we can reproduce their effects easily when we design our own theme.

The time we save in not designing the whole thing ourselves, we can use to add content and features on our forums, which is always more important than eye candy.
We probably have a LOT of time ahead :(
Did you send your email to Zanzarino, SG?

I have to use a lot of words like "money" and "rich" in the title as well as dollar signs. Hopefully that will make him read/reply faster, and not get picked up by his spam detector :)
You think as a native speaker.
For us foreigners, most emails written in English with "rich" in the title go directly to the trash bin.

Actually, if we could find an Italian speaker willing to write the email for us, it would probably give us the best chances to catch him.

All I ask is that we be able to choose a theme from a list. Not have only one available. Once the theme's have been up for awhile, you can remove the ones no one is using and try out some more.
I was going to mention this; a few forums have a drop down list to allow user-chosen themes.  I don't suppose there's support for more than one theme with the architecture you are using?

Ignoring pics and colours is difficult...

Outline and Overview get my votes, though Overview should preferably get a search box added.
DarkBreak gets third just because it has both login and search easily available.
DS-Natural would've gotten third if it'd had login boxes.

Odd urls tend to get borked on forums. Here's a different rendition: http://tinyurl.com/yg4mz9m

None there that stood out, though I mostly just looked at the thumbnails.

DS-Natural and Outline for me. The other ones are too bland and/or dark.

I don't see why you'd care what theme people use, just as long as there is a theme they want to use.

Un sacco di soldi per voi = A lot of money for you . . . at least that's Google's translation from English to Italian.  ;)

Looks like DarkBreak and Overview are the most popular so far (I picked those two as well).  But I definitely love the ones Chris pointed out even better.
