Major Graphics (Score: 8/10):

Banner
Ok, your banner is very good, you have added the two pictures very well, and the whole banner works with the forums theme very well too. The text on it stands out very well and you have what it stands for below so your members can understand what it means. The text is in the middle and it is sort of symetrical, which is a good tho=ing although i have to say, but this is being picky, but the smaller text needs to be moved about 2 pixels to the right as it is not perfectly in the center. Also the where the pictures merge with the black center of the banner, it looks a bit distorted and grainy, i don't think this can be solved very easily but it is not a good effect. You have a nice banner but it is slightly let down by the picture quality. If you can edit this, the banner would be near to perfect. Nice graphic aspect this is.
Navigation Bar
Your navigation bar is quite close to not matching the rest of your forums theme, although it matches the banner, it doesn't match the black categoery tables that you have, really you need a black navigation bar what is still as clear to read as the one you have at the moment. The one you have now is good though as the text is really clear to read and the buttons have nice effects on them too, they go from a light blue outside, to a darkblue center, this also links into your forum's "space like" theme and is a great aspect! All the buttons touch and are evenly sized, this makes the navigation bar look organised and proffesional. Moreover, they are not over the top, there not too simple or too complicated, there in the middle, which is a good place to be. Other than the fact that the navigation bar really doesn't match the categoeries table colour of black, this is a good navigation bar that could be improved to make it fit your forums theme, change it from a grey colour on the outside of the button, going into a black colour in the center of the button, that would look awesoem and it would look as good as the old navigation bar design but better! And it would match the forum's theme!
Images & Icons (Score: 8/10): Hahaha, your "new post", "no new posts" and "topic locked" icons are awesome, they fit with the theme perfectly, you have two red crossed lightsabers for the locked forum's, a Blue lightsaber for the new posts and well, here comes the issue, the no new posts icon has no relation ship with what its ment to be showing, a forum with NO new posts, so really shouldn't this icon be a ightsaber that isn't on? this way it is easier for your members to distinguish between a forum with new posts and a forum with no new posts, everything that makes a members life easier is worth doing . But that is only my suggestion, you don't have to take it, but it will improve your forums design! I also like the new topic, no new topic and topic locked icons aswell as the rest (topic popular etc.) they keep in touch with the theme and are really well designed, some of the best ive seen, i like the new posts locked and the no new posts locked, they are designed really well and the man glows perfectly, but again, its hard to find a link between the icon and what the icon is ment to show, a locked topic, i dont thinka green or red man shows that the topic is locked very well although the icons are different from the rest and im sure your members will learn what each one means! Good work on them. One thing i have to say is there is not a big change between the new posts and no new posts icons, they look pretty much the same, really they ned to be different so they're easily distinguishable! work on that but there great
Forum Layout & Color Scheme (Score: 9/10): Ok so you clearly have a black theme going on here although as i have said before, the navigation bar's colour doesn't really fit in with the rest of the theme, sort that out and make it black and your colour scheme would be greatly improved. I like the way you have the forum in the middle of the page centered, it makes your forum look organised and well presented. Your categoery tables are quite nice with the glasgg like effect in black, very shiny and the black makes them look professional, well done with that. I have to say that to make your forum look better, mabye you should think about adding a cool background so the appearence of your forum is improved, this way your forum will look more advertising to portential members (guests) The colour scheme you have really does sute the purpose of forum, the black gives you the illusion of emptiness, just like in space, very good, i think you have really thought about the style very hard and i hope you continue the good work. Take what i have said onboard and improve your forum!
