As a stopgap solution to the aesthetically displeasing default SMF theme, I spent the last 5 hours writing a pure CSS fix to revert the forum to its
previous, glorious skin.
Currently you can use a plugin like
Stylish and add the following code:

It's not perfect, and what images I couldn't find from Archive.org I had to make up myself. If anyone has the originals, that would be nice.
Since this is pure CSS, it's hacky! I had to do some creative manipulating to get the current markup to look like the old Pixelation. So far only tested on FF.
I know Indigo's working on the new theme, this is a treat in the meantime.
Let me know what you think!
