I´ve modifyed Kakumei to the limit of my knowledge. See yourself at http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum
However, if I want to turn it into something different, I think the CSS is kind of clumsy made.
If you change width on one thing – you have to change it on something like ten other definitions too. Width of content, background, padding, corners etc etc.
So is there some other simplistic theme out there thats coded in a more unified way? Let´s say I want to change the size of the forum, I only want to input this ONCE, and have everything else fall in place automatically.
I know this is possible with CSS, by using percentage in sizes, instead of static pixel definitions.
Where can I find more BBPress themes anyway?
Wonderful, thank you for the clarification!
@tyskkvinna the two projects are going to co-exist happily 
JJJ is the lead developer of bbPress and in the core development team of BuddyPress. The BuddyPress bundled forum as it stands will eventually be replaced by the bbPress plugin, supported by a migration script of course.
More information in these threads:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/comparing-speed-differences-of-buddypress-with-or-without-bbpress-plugin
I’m sorry for just barging into the conversation mid-way but is there going to be BuddyPress progress with this too? Or was that just an unrelated project?

Ah never mind. I did my own script with old fashion PHP/MySQL. Here is what I did if someone else are interested.
<?php
$query = (‘SELECT * FROM bb_posts ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 5’);
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row;
$query2 = (‘SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID=”‘ . $row . ‘”‘);
$result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2))
{
echo $row2;
}
}
?>
Just put it in your widget area and your are good to go.

I’m waiting for an alpha release in order to update automatically, It will be awesome! Good job guys!
@Willabee
Is a problem of the javascript I think. We’ve to wait to a more stable release…
Great work jaapmarcus!
Is there any way to control your plugin with template tags. I would like to be able to edit the way the topics are displayed.

I had the exact same problem and I tired everything that was suggested, including triple-checking that all my keys matched, the cookie path was set, and the bbPress Integration plugin was installed in WordPress. I still couldn’t get integration working.
Here’s what I did to fix it: I deleted bbPress, installed a new copy, and during installation entered the same database information as I used for WordPress (same database, same username/password, all of which are available in wp-config.php). I also filled in the various salts and keys as required.
That allowed full user integration on both a database and cookie level and now everything works perfectly. Single sign-on, one-time registration, etc.
Hope this helps someone!

Hello csabamarosi,
I just have made some small changes and it will now show as well the fressness. The last version is now on my website. Its slightly different from the plugin on the wordpress website because those features are missing at this moment.
Later on this week i will also update the wordpress plugin with this functionality and and a few other options. Like time format instead of freshness and show / disable time format or author.

Hi jaapmarcus,
Am I able to display latest forum posts with timestamps (freshness) in a WP sidebar with your plugin? I’m currently using another one (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion) but it doesn’t support displaying any date information, so I’ll give your one a try if it does.
Thanks in advance,
Csaba

Was in Phoenix at WordCamp, and am working on the BuddyPress side of things as well. Updates will come this week.
deep integration is easier if you know how to mess around with html & css.
Integration plugin is solely needed for the purpose of generating bbPress admin side cookies when a user logs in from WordPress side. If you don’t use it, everything will be fine, just you won’t be able to access bbPress dashboard unless you login from bbPress side.
but this clearly doesn’t affect regular normal users as they don’t have to access the dashboard, only you have to.

Downgrade tool is on permanent delay.
Sorry, I simply do not have the time.
