Theme = Mood?
 
Do you change your theme/signature based on your mood?

Say for example, if you have a bright and bubbly theme, it's because you feel happy. Or if you have a dark and depressing theme, it's because you're sad.

Or is it the other way around, that you change your theme, and it affects your mood in a way.

As for me, my themes tend to either affect my mood or show it. Most of the time I do have bright and colourful signatures, as a way of expressing my happiness. But when they're dark and serious looking, it usually means I feel a bit down, or just a little upset.

Or when I have no theme at all, either it's me being lazy or I'm really upset.

Not really. Well, I hope not, as mine would make me... Disturbed indeed. Some themes, yes. But not at the moment.

Okami Chi February 23rd, 2010 8:50 AM

I just pick black and white because the are my fav. colors.

Timbjerr February 23rd, 2010 9:00 AM

I just change mine whenever I'm bored. My themes usually reflect something that I find really cool or badass at the moment. Whenever I default to a pokemon-related theme (like I'm using now), It usually means that I'm in the process of thinking up and/or making a new one (or in the process of downloading the latest version of Corel Paint Shop). XD

I usually change my themes when I usually get tired of the themes I'm wearing which can either be the same for a week or two. I sometimes change my theme for just the sake of it though usually the themes I'm usually wearing depends on the anime that I'm crazy about at the moment. Though the quotes on the other hand depends on my mood. Actually, the quote I'm supposed is "The world isn't as bad as you think." but I was feeling a bit melancholic so I changed it too "People don't just change overnight."

The one time I was happy, I changed the quote to "Even if I trip all over again, and cry my eyes out, I'll still believe in my future, amazingly." Weird right?

Daydream February 23rd, 2010 10:02 AM

Not for me. It's just because I feel like a change becuase I have a new love of something (like my latest theme). Although I suppose when I have a theme that I'm happy with I get a little contented feeling on seeing my posts.

Belinda February 23rd, 2010 10:23 AM

Not really,doesn't work that way for me. I just pick anything I like in particular,I'm not the one who uses signatures much anymore just avatars for me.

Klippy February 23rd, 2010 11:10 AM

If my theme is my mood, I've got no clue how I feel.

I just pick a theme that looks nice and go with it.

Franceschi February 23rd, 2010 11:18 AM

I guess my theme/signature is based on my mood. I usually change it when I listen to a song a lot and that depends on how I'm feeling at that moment.

A majority of the time I have happy lyrics, but that's usually because it's SHINee.

Åzurε February 23rd, 2010 11:51 AM

Not really. I've been working on improving my custom trainer, but what I use doesn't really reflect my mood. If I'm feeling very strongly about something, I'll change my nature, but Lax is working just fine today.

Jordan February 23rd, 2010 1:24 PM

At times, this is true for me. For the most part, I change themes because I get tired of my current one. The time span for my boredom to start growing is usually about two weeks. I've been themeless for a while, however, because I haven't had time to make another one. Too busy procrastinating on schoolwork is all.

Synaesthesia February 23rd, 2010 1:33 PM

I dont think I'd ever make my themes according to my mood. I usually make themes off of something I like, and that theme will reflect off of its subject. If it's about an anime like Death Note, it'll be dark and serious because that's how the anime is. If it's about like..pachirusu, it'll be white and blue and sunshine and stars :D

Making a theme every time I change moods would require me to stay at the computer 24/7 XD

alisaie February 23rd, 2010 1:37 PM

I'm always in a Red Mood, and my theme is always Red, so I guess so~ ♥

Much of the time, I'm changing my theme because I feel like changing it. However, with my current theme seeing my avatar sometimes makes me feel like I'm being sad or (for my current one) irritated or still not very happy. not my fault emo/nothappy!red is so cute. ;^;

So.. I guess it's a little bit of both. More the first one than the second one though.

Maybe with this theme though, I'll start changing me icon to represent my mood considering I have many Red icons.

Miz en Scène February 23rd, 2010 1:41 PM

If by mood you mean in the long-term then yes. Right now I'm feeling poetic and am inspired by the world. Otherwise, my theme changes reflect my favourite bishies of the moment.

Coincidentally, my current theme reflects both.

Taemin February 23rd, 2010 1:41 PM

Theme = mood, most of the time. xD;

Although, I will admit, a good amount of the time I'm stressed, or in a downer sort of mood, and I try not to reflect that with my themes. xD; Sometimes I do, though, but if I changed my theme to constantly match my mood, it would change ten times a day. >_>

This doesn't count with collab themes, though.. since I keep those for weeks, regardless of moods.

Legobricks February 23rd, 2010 2:25 PM

I don't use 'themes' and even have signatures disabled after being fed up by the size of others' ones. I do change my avatar fairly often though, which is arguably proportionate to the amount of new images uploaded on Danbooru under the tag 'touhou', but nothing else.

Ayselipera February 23rd, 2010 3:39 PM

I just throw something up. My themes don't depict my moods at all. It's just whatever I feel looks nice or if I'm lazy it's whatever I tried out last before I gave up searching.

Swift! February 23rd, 2010 4:19 PM

Theme = Whatever I'm interested in when I decided to get a new theme.

My mood never decides what my theme will be.

Jack O'Neill February 23rd, 2010 4:30 PM

I don't change my signature based on my mood. I only change it whenever I've made something I feel to be adequate enough to replace the current one; seeing as I'm currently in a bit of a creative rut, however, I don't think my current Erica Hartmann theme will be replaced anytime soon.

Lucy Lu February 23rd, 2010 6:03 PM

Well I don't change my theme because of what I am feeling. I don't do that. I usually will change my theme when I am bored. Also when I am into something for the time being. Like for instance, I am into Utada Hikaru at the moment. So I made a theme out of her. Next it is probably about weight loss. So I might make a theme about weight loss. It depends of I am into at the time and that is what works for me. But nope, I don't change my theme because of my feelings(happy, sad, stressed, etc).

Honest February 23rd, 2010 6:45 PM

Yes, almost always, yes. It almost always deals with my feelings, or emotions, and sometimes, the emotions of others. Like my current one. It's about my girlfriend. xD

Pi-Face February 23rd, 2010 7:15 PM

I use a theme based on whatever i feel like making a theme of. if theres a particular character i like. i'll make a theme. the mood of the theme depends on the picture i use :B

so no. my themes do not reflect my mood :3

.Gamer February 23rd, 2010 7:52 PM

Nope, I just do what I feel like I want what I'm capabale of I don't have enough time to make a sig/theme for every mood.

Ineffable~ February 24th, 2010 12:18 AM

No, I can't really do that. I have trouble getting themes, and I can't be bothered setting something up for myself very often.
My Msn display name and the like may be a different case...I change it when I get bored usually, and perhaps subconsciously the colours reflect my mood...
I doubt it. x3
I don't think my Msn or Pokécommunity themes will be changing for a while anyway since I'm quite satisfied with my current one... <3

Dukey February 24th, 2010 3:08 AM

If there's something specific that I'm really into at the time, I make something to do with that, but I suppose my mood could reflect on how the tag turns out, so in a way yes.
