Why

Bored by the default Redmine theme and after using the Watersky theme for a while, we decided to create our own. The first challenge was to create a nice theme better corresponding with our spirit, the second was to completely change the look and feel without touching one line of HTML.

After this little presentation, you can't wait ? So download the theme now :
