A brand new look for The Pirate Bay is on its way as TPB goes environment-friendly. The new green-on-black theme is designed for the future keeping in mind improved user experience and less monitor power usage.



Winston of The Pirate Bay talked to TorrentFreak after it was speculated that the notorious torrent website is set to reveal a new design.




"Yes, after more than a decade it's time for something fresh. We're still ironing out a few minor bugs but the design should go live in a week or two," Winston informed TorrentFreak.



Winston also explained why they are going for the theme.



"We spend most of our time looking at the command line, so for us the change is natural. But the new design also aims to lower the global power consumption by decreasing the demands on our user's monitors," Winston said.



"We'll therefore rename the site into 'The Green Bay' once we go live, just for the lulz."



When a website goes for the black theme instead of white, automatically it leads to less consumption of energy. The black themed websites consume less power compared to ones with white background. Moreover, The Pirate Bay also suggested other ways to consume less energy which are connected to online piracy.



"Our users tend to be very climate aware. One of the main reasons to download the latest movies is so they don't have to pump too much carbon into the atmosphere by driving their car to the movie theaters," Winston stated.



KickassTorrents is also coming up with a new look soon. TorrentFreak reported that KickassTorrents already changed the homepage for the non-registered users.



Meanwhile, The Pirate Bay is yet to announce the date for the official launch of The Green Bay.
