6 great included themes

There are 6 great looking themes included with this script so here’s a list of what they are, what they might be useful for, and what great features they bring:
modern_blue – The default and ‘flagship’ theme. Modern web styling and loads of great CSS3 like gradient backgrounds and rounded corners for buttons, @font-face font replacement etc… Even great IE support for all these features has been added by the wonderful CSS3Pie script so all your customers can expect to see all the wonders the new web technology brings. Although heavily “blue” focused with the buttons, the rest of this theme is largely minimal and neutral so you can add your own logo and be up and running with an upload form all your friends (and competition) will be jealous of in no time!
modern_red – A variation on the modern_blue theme. For those of you with a more ‘red’ tinge to your business or just don’t like blue!
corporate_blue – A clean and simple ‘blue’ theme for all those corporate, no-fuss businesses out there. Still uses @font-face for some stylish font work and while simple, still has plenty of “wow” factor.
corporate_black – A variation on corporate_blue. If you want something with the same ‘corporate’ feel but more neutral to fit your own company-stylings then this is the theme for you.
classic_black – Similar to the corporate themes but with a much more ‘classic’ feel through serif font use. Use this theme if you’ve got a company with some history or just prefer that ‘classy’ look with everything you do.
sandbox – Sandbox is the most basic of all themes, providing mostly standard and un-styled elements and just simple layout/positioning. Use this to start your own themes or if you just love the default browser styling for your forms!

Make your own themes

If one of the 6 supplied themes isn’t working for you then don’t fret! You can easily make your own theme that reflects your own company style perfectly. Simply take a copy of any of the existing themes and change the CSS to your hearts content. Feel free to use any of the great CSS3 code included to help make your own or simply come up with your own ideas.
Better yet, if you want to concept out your ideas before cutting some code, i’ve included both Photoshop PSD ’s and Fireworks PNG ’s of each supplied theme so that you can play around with your ideas to your hearts content!

No mirrors please! Also don't forget to say thanks.

Enjoy! :)
