What is Silicon?
Silicon is a premium theme for Vanilla 2 forums. Silicon uses a minimalist approach based on a strong emphasis on user photos, simple icons, and large easy-to-read text. Silicon is
fully responsive and features a soothing deep-blue color scheme and a prominent display of categories. It also comes included with
three additional color schemes: Silicon Red, Silicon Green, and Silicon Purple!Font Awesome
Silicon uses a CSS feature called
@font-face combined with the power of
Font Awesome to render all of its icons as text (“font icons”) rather than images, which improves page load-time. Because the icons can be changed just by modifying the CSS, this also makes it easier for you to customize Silicon to your liking, no need for any expensive image editing tools!

Vanilla 2.1! A legacy version of Silicon is also included for Vanilla 2.0.18 compatibility.
