So, the ZetaBoards to TapaTalk conversions are in full swing now - and, I'm guessing it isn't long before the old TCH gets downgraded in this manner. With that, all of the themes we spent ages creating for that platform will soon be no more. We've converted some of them to the new MyBB format; however, we aren't going to have time to convert them all . So, I thought I ought to put this collection of screenshots together, to serve as a record of our work before it's too late.
Most of these themes were created by myself and Nilla. However, Purple Origin was made by ObsessedwithBirds; Denis Pick did some of the work on the Sea Raiders theme (a modification of a tiptopolive theme); and I believe Wangie's Wife made some of the graphics and banners for the older themes.
So, without further ado, here are the themes:
Section #1: Default themes
These are the themes that served as default themes on the ZetaBoards incarnation of The Coffee House, or one of its predecessors. I've listed them in chronological order from 2008 onwards.
Checkmate 3 (Chess Resources Forum default theme, 2008-09):

Section #1: Celebratory themes
This section is for special holiday themes that we created over the years. I'm doing these again in chronological order.
Classic Winter theme (2011-13):

Christmas theme (2015-17). What you see here is the 2017 revision; the original version used in 2015 and 2016 was redder and brighter:

Section #3: Other custom themes
These themes were never intended as board defaults; however, they were available to choose on the theme selector, and many of them were popular choices in this role . This time, I've listed them in alphabetical order (I can't even remember the chronological order ).

Lavender v2. This was intended as a replacement for the "Lavender" theme on TCH. Nilla had almost finished it when the TapaTalk conversion was announced :
