The plugin we are using is very specific to proSilver from what I understand. I think the priority was on getting the tags to parse first with the CSS tweaks coming later. I also know that the CSS was being worked on for subSilver and that the proSilver tweaks had not yet been implemented.
Because I'm not a forum admin I've been unable to edit the templates in proslver (editting the files doesn't change anything -- it's go do be done in the admin panel's editor!).
For anyone using the proSilver theme, you may have noticed that the code blocks have been looking screwy. If you log out and back in again you should see everything as normal now (phpBB caches styles in the session I think).
The new php code tags are horrible. The functionality is nice, but the code is very, very hard to look at. Bad font, distracting line-numbers and background horizontal bands. Too little contrast in colors. Using subsilver by the way. Am I the only one?

The colors are the default geshi ones. We fixed that up last time we installed a GeSHi mod We'll do it again here. There are lots of things going on to get this new forum up, running and stable so just bear with us
The font size is going to be improved and the line numbers will be hacked to be off by default.
Ok, good to hear that. I was just afraid that it would stay like that.
My suggestions: (if not superfluous):
- bigger font-size
- the old colors (green etc)
- other font-family (don't know what it used to be?)
- ditch the row background colors, doesn't add anything, only distracts
p.s. all the hard work you mods do on the new forum is appreciated
Honestly, I dislike the scroll bars in the code blocks - first, I can't see the whole code and second, it makes me angry when I want to scroll the page with the mouse wheel.
