I know I do - after a while I just want a change of colours, I get sick of looking at that same light-blue all the time.
One solution would be to offer different forum themes. This is the most thorough solution but it makes installing forum extensions and performing forum upgrades a potential nightmare, though with SMF 2.0 this might change.
Anyway, in the meantime, if you use Firefox, there is a great solution:
Install the "Stylish" extension
Now you can skin any website just how you want it. You'll need some basic knowledge of CSS.
I've changed the default forum look as follows:
before
after
You can install this style into stylish from here.
If you come up with some nice styles, please upload them to userstyles.org so we can all try them out
Stylish can be used for more than just changing colours though, you can hide parts of websites, or even re-organise the way they look completely. On userstyles.org there's loads of pre-made styles for popular sites like facebook, youtube, etc.
I'm using this youtube one.
