1. My initial thoughts are, ah, a move back towards more detailed borderwork and edging. That's one of your traditional strong suits, though even here, you still restrain yourself from indulging yourself. Such a pity, too.
2. The title bars for the left and right blocks, along the top edge of them, remind me of that neon green glow on the Matrix theme, I think that it was, albeit it substantially subdued compared to that. I don't know if that is the look that you were going for, here, but that is the theme that came to mind when browsing this one. I like it, anyway.
3. The top and bottom edging of the Forum Statistics box are the strongest points of architectural beauty on this theme. Yet, the right and left side of the same box are plain, thin edging. Tsk, tsk, tsk. . .And the 4 corners of that box are plain, also. Think more in terms of a cartouche on a map. Embellish this Forum Statistics box more. You're on the right track with it.
4. The brown transitioning color of the title bars I like. Leave that intact.
5. The blockwork in the background I like. I just wish that it had more of a 3D effect to it, so that the stones stood out more against their joints.
6. The thin bright line at the bottom of the header I like. It adds a slight underlighting effect for the top of the center block area.
7. The right blocks do not touch the far right edge, in a manner similar to how the left blocks do along the far left edge. This needs to be remedied.
8. On the left block, you have that thick gold borderwork that runs vertically along the inside edge of the left blocks. Can you wrap both the left and right blocks with this thick gold edging, except make it go all the way around these blocks on all four sides of them?
9. That strong decorative bar that sits at the bottom of the header, can you wrap all four sides of the header area in that? This bar adds strength to the theme, but it also makes the top portion of the header weaker looking than the bottom edge of it. Strengthen that entire header area, by extending that horizontal bar into a rectangle that encompasses the entire header.
10. The header graphic, itself, sucks. That mediocre monster looking guy is not what needs to be taking center stage in the header. Rather, take that fancy fontwork "Covenant" word and make it huge, big enough to take up the entire header area inside of that decorative bar extended onto all four sides of the header. Finally, you have some decent looking fontwork, although if you could make it 3D, it might be even better. You just want it to seem thick, if possible, and are not looking so much for an isometric view perspective. just thick. Worry about that monster dude AFTER you get the rest of the header squared away. He's not the star of this theme. Rather, your theme, itself, should be the star. He detracts more from it than he adds to it, right now.
11. I like that the bottom story block doesn't touch the bottom edge of the screen on this theme. That bottom slight glow effect looks good, and needs that space to stand out and to be more noticeable.
12. But, this particular theme begs to have a footer. Or, maybe even two footers. Hmmmm.....
13. On that horizontal bar at the bottom of the header, can you make those studs in it with a slight gold effect, also?
14. The right and left blocks are too square, I think. But make some other changes, first, and then we'll see how it looks from there on out.
All in all, a good start, better than most starts. |

| What is the font called for the guild name? And is it possible for the header to be one picture instead of 2 and a background? |

| The font name is EXOCET and the reason it is two images is so that it can expand to fit different resolutions. |

| When we "donate" for this and we get a confirmation of the "donation" Then what happens do we wait for a link to be able to Download? I have "donated before for some of your themes, I just do not remember what the procedure is for this. |

| also how hard would it be to add a footer at the bottom of the Wow4 and Wow2 themes? I already have an image for the wow2 theme to use or attempt to use as it is limited width theme. Just curious. |
