Skins and customisation

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

As I approach my second year on this site, it's only recently I have discovered the Themes and other settings available to tailor the way that I can view it!

I've always had a problem that the normal view of the site was so bright, it would instantly attract the attention of anyone who walked past my computer - something I would really rather not happen. Now I'm experimenting with a few to find the least insignificant looking, whilst still providing me with the info I want on the Home Page.

I've also been experimenting to cut down all the bits on the front page which I never use, and doing it on a trial and error basis mainly, as I don't understand a lot of the terms used against the tick boxes. One thing I seem to have lost and can't find again is the Random Solos - one of my most used links. Can anyone tell me where I can find it on the Edit Account page? I'm currently using the Tapestry Theme, but I may change that a bit more as I experiment. I have Solos and Quick Solos ticked, but that doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Any other hints on suitable themes or settings would be appreciated.

good point!

I'd like to change the default as well -- but I'm not sure all the Themes work with all the add-ins.

I'd also REALLY love a mobile version of the site -- it's almost impossible for me to scroll down the page with my thick fingers without accidentally clicking on something I didn't intend.
