Hey that's pretty cool! I'd definitely give these a try. A modern look to such an old kinda forum. I dunno about the blue though. It seems too... too... Keen:Moddish. :crazy

Yeah, I was just going to say that the blue theme looks like it would be appropriate for Keen: Modding.

Very nifty, the blue would make us a nice twin to KM.

I like the orange one, though I'll miss the oldschool pixelated logo.

I'd be okay if it were optional and not forced on us. I like the classic banner.

Never heard of a forced forum skin. They're always optional, no?
I assume members will be able to choose the skin of their choice in the Profile page (i.e. Board Style: keener)

I like both of them well enough. Would you consider other colour themes given their popularity?

Color is not a problem if you have something in mind.

Bear in mind this forum has the ability to switch themes on a per-user basis, with the user setting their preferred theme. If adopted, people could select a different colour option.

Not in particular, you already made the blue one. :p It's just a good idea to get more than two going. Given that it's Keen, purple and green may be good colours.

Nice work.

What do you guys think of the idea of a theme coloured after Keen's watch in Goodbye Galaxy? Here's a preview of what it'd look like (by estimate):

Please don't pay attention to the horrible quality; I just made this quickly by applying colour replacement to wiivn's image. Again, it's just a preview.

I think the grey is way too heavy looking, candyjack. I would vote for wiivn's orange theme in the original post. And vote is what I hope the pckf does on this issue once there is a shortlist.
