So to recap, the dark/dark explorer & dark/ white explorer options will be fully free. The all white version will be a premium theme. Hopefully that sorts out any confusion

Screenies of the substyles would be helpful.

Im still working on finishing the dark version. I cant make the white explorer version of it yet till I finish that first. I will post some screenshots of it at a later date. I wont be able to work on it for the next 4 days due to my work week starting later today.

Here is a rough WIP of what the white explorer mode is shaping out to be like so far. Its still very early stages as I have to redesign some other elements to fit with black font as many of them were designed for white font. There is a chance I just make the dark explorer background just a smidge lighter just so the font is readable while still maintaining a darker look. Just gotta experiment with the various ways around this issue.

Charcoal/Graphite is your friend. Black/white is high contrast...not necessarily comfy for the eyes on prolonged use.

Thanks, Doc. I've always had an eye for color co-coordinating. Sometimes it take a long time to match up all the components to make them look good and not everything can be recolored (at least not by me; I don't have Photoshop or any other real graphics manipulation software), but I do my best with what I have.

Thanks for the link, Doc. I downloaded and installed the program but it looks like it will be a real beast to learn. I don't have any experience with graphics manipulation programs and the user manual is huge. But I will try it out and see if I like it.
