Halloween theme.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. It is largely a secular celebration but some have expressed strong feelings about perceived religious overtones.

The colours black and orange have become associated with the celebrations, perhaps because of the darkness of night and the colour of fire or of pumpkins, and maybe because of the vivid contrast this presents for merchandising. Another association is with the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

I also remember in my first year here (2004) there was a Christmas theme. :D With Christmas lights and snow. Neowin didn't do it after that year though. :/

I hope they do it this year. :)

I can't find the option to state I'm not a Yank. I guess I forgot the US is the only place on Earth to some.

Really? Nobody else in the world celebrates the day where you have an excuse to dress stupid and get ****-faced?

Censored out a word which the poster had wrongly censored.

And it's celebrated over here as well, just to a lesser extent of course.

Is it possible if we could shift board colours without the help of Stylish? It would feel cooler like that and the color would be saved into the cookies so as soon as the cookies get cleared, the theme goes to normal. Just my $0.02 but I like the Halloween design whats wrong with it?

We're sure as hell doing that :)

Technically Australia doesn't celebrate Halloween, but there are a lot of Halloween parties on at this time. We personally love it.

My folks someday wanna move to Sydney, what should we be aware of? Snakes, koalas, kangaroos beating people or what?

On topic, everyone is heading to Beverly Hills because of the generous donators giving $5/10/20s to trick-or-treaters.

lmao.... we also ride kangaroos as a substitute to cars, we LOVE our iSnack 2.0 and we always greet you saying "Gday mate what a bloody good day it is!"

On a serious note, I like this theme. Maybe they can keep it under Halloween Theme?

Also, what happened with Andrew?
