You just want board graphics and buttons in black and white? If so, i'll pm you my email addy. For a lo-fi version, why not change the buttons to text links?

Since come of those will be semi hard to make into text for example are boarders :P as well as a pic can be this big

|¨¨¨¨|
¨¨¨¨¨

But text is big and long so that pic would look like this

"new post"



Which doesn't work to well

Also besides being black and white maybe making them a bit smaller and since they are black and white they load faster(those are 2 fastest loading colors followed by blues)

Like this: Image
It's only 513 bytes, instead of 1627 bytes of the original image.
Reduced to 16 colours, and size reduced to 80%

You'd need 2 colour logos really before converting to black and white - I converted the original "new topic" image and you couldn't read it properly (the "topic" vanished!)

Oh well 16 color will work then it did at least make the file size about 1\3 of the original ;)
