Make the switch themes and language on the main page in the basement(footer).
I do not like white color.

I love minimalist designs, but it needs some color. The avatars also break layout.

I'm not exactly the right person to say this (as I'm still not happy with any of Wedge's skins and I'm aiming for something more simplistic too), but indeed the current theme is, err... Special.
The avatar layout is still broken, one month after. In order to access the action bar (sorry, that's how I call it myself...), I have to hover the user name. Totally makes sense! Only thing I can do is "Quote to new topic", which I don't want to... If I want to quote someone, well... I guess I can't, then..?
And the Reply button's dropdown menu seems out of place with the rest of the design.
The 'Post' button is to the right, so I tend to click "Save Draft" instead. Needs a different color to mark it as a "Submit" button. You may not want to use as many colors as Wedge buttons use (grey, red, green, blue...), but at least two different colors would be nice, or at least an icon...
Food for thought...

Okay, got it... The action bar shows up after hovering the post for a second or so. Doesn't need a user name hover.
Also, the top link in it is its own link, i.e. Quote. Having only one "Quote to new topic" entry is misleading.

I like that it is hidden. I just didn't understand how to unhide it. Maybe the timing should be a lot less or maybe just an icon which opens up all of that stuff.

When it comes to hiding UI elements, you should ensure that if you're going to hide an interactive element, you at least add a visual clue that says how to activate it... User menus have a user link, which you can hover, and shows a mini-menu, like in Wedge. Action menu should have an icon, or at least some indication that you have to hover the post. Especially on mobile, where... Well, hovering a post is not exactly the logical thing to do...
