Default theme with reduced functionality

[alfred_the_great]

I prefer the default theme as I find the contrast easier to read. 
 

however, it does mean some of the ease of site navigation is reduced. In particular, the ability to go from within a thread up to the overall topic list, or to the main topic listings is really useful. I can do it in the b&c theme but not the default. 
 

is there a reason for this?

Yes, technically there is a reason.  The B&C Theme provides different behavior than the default theme.  They are just different.   Different UX. (User Experience).

It probably never occurred to the UX designer of the B&C custom theme to retrofit the Default Theme (all same behavior but without the B&C Artwork).

Are you sure there isn't a Light version of the B&C Theme?  I was almost sure we had one.

EDIT: I see that we did not activate the Light version of B&C Theme.  We'll have to follow up with @Brother Tyler and see if that was ever the plan.  I am not sure now.
