Suggestions for themes on vanillaforums.com

I'm looking at putting together better theme options for our clients on vanillaforums.com. Are there any freely licensed themes you recommend for broad use? They should have no customized view files except default.master.php (so hooks & CSS changes only).

    Yeah, that is my favourite bit messing around with views.... Oh well, I don't think I like many that are just css changes. Also happy to help out.

    I like the VanillaPress2010 Theme (works with latest version of Vanilla) and the Public vForg Theme (needs updating)

    I am using a customized version of Public vForg on my real estate forum, take a look it's pretty clean and appealing

    The problem is we need maintenance-free themes that don't require updating when we tweak the markup. I suppose a couple customizations is fine, but I'm specifically thinking to stay away from the /vanilla/views/discussion(s) folders.

    One question Lincoln, if we produce some themes can we get a clickable referral link back to our site ? In the theme footer. I have about a week left on the front end dev for this site, and should have some spare time for cpl of days to whack out some thmes

    @422 I can't promise anything like that. You'd have to speak to Mark directly if you want to make a business deal. Honestly I didn't even run this request by them, I was just interested to see what you guys thought about GPL themes that were out there. :)

    I was using one of the "Fluid clean" themes for a while, but switched over to a fancy premium from 422, (that i of course proceeded to hack away at :D)
