Edit: By the way, I love that Surely Elegant theme, green works incredibly with dark gray.
Yes I know but there's other forums too, it crushes me lol.
Also, thanks. I liked it too but it was nothing special. That's why I created this one.
What colour scheme would work with this one?

I've never been good at making gradients. Here's a quick try.
Blue/Black:
Blue/White:
Blue/Darker Blue:
Actually I like the blue/white gradient. I might try that on the theme, what do you think?

A gradient isn't supposed to change colors like that. Just find a color you like in Photoshop, that is the main color. Then move it down about 1.5 inches and that is your second color. There is your gradient.

Really? I always thought a gradient was a transition of two different colours? Hmmm. Let me try a gradient of the same colour.

It can be whatever you want, but if you want it to look nice it must be gradual and consistent.
