What theme is VanillaForums running?

I've been wondering this but what theme is Vanilla forums actually running with?
I've noticed that there are plugins out there to imitate what they actually use here. For instance, Views and Comments listing... there is a STATS plugin that does the same thing but the formatting / layout is completely different.
The one area that is definitely a drawback, on what is otherwise an awesome system, is the lack of clean professional looking themes that are available to the public. Apptastic is nice, Bootstrap is nice, even the basic one that comes with 2.1 is nice but if I had my way I would combine elements of all of them into a theme.
Sadly it requires more PHP knowledge than I have.

Most theming should only require HTML / CSS knowledge. Don't be scared off by complex themes - you can do a lot by experimenting a little.
My knowledge is more restricted to editing existing themes and tweaking them how I want rather than building them from the ground up; hence why I have been with SMF for the last year and a bit and vBulletin before that.
Vanilla is, as I said, a great foundation. Lightning fast and well... vanilla. LOL (think Nexus 5 in the mobility market). More for developers/coders than for John Q Public.
I will revisit this site in the future I am sure! Thanks for the links and info.
