Well, I like these blue buttons "Views" and "Comments". Next I like where my Username is located, then sidebar is on my left. I like how Categories are displayed. And so on...Can I maybe pay for this theme?
Of course you can pay for a theme with blue buttons and username location and sidebar on left and specific categories display that has a similar look without using the same coding and proprietary logos, images etc.
How much will you pay? Decide how much you want and then go to a free lance site and see if you get any takers to make the theme for the price you want to pay. keep raising the amount you want to pay until you find a thememaker able to do what you want, if you don't get any replies at first.
As far as the vanillaforums theme - its really quite simple, it is not for sale and specifically designed by vanilla staff for their own private use and even if it were downloadable for use - you can't use it.
have you tried the table view? selectable from dashboard on core themes. or stats box add-on available here: https://vanillaforums.org/addons

Welcome to the community.
That theme is proprietary, and not available for download.
However, most of the effects can be achieved in the open source version with some judicious tinkering.
Vanilla ask people not to try to 'clone' this theme.
What is it that you are particularly taken with? I'm pretty sure there is an open source option for whatever it is.
