No

My advice is to download version 7.1 style sheet,
the use that as your template to tweak the settings.

I used my classic style for my colour refrences.
Also use Fire fox when editing that way you can see the
updates with the style sheet update preview.

Its a little qwerky with IE

Hope that helps

The systems are totally differant, there is no way to import from UBB.C for styles.

There are however several developers who create styles, and most are relatively affordable (myself included).

Style sheets are useful, agreed, but from a perspective of a guy who doesn't manually use them every day, the "codespeak" of them, sucks. \:\)

Got through it with firefox... the preview pane is the only way. \:\)

Had to remember how I did it in the UBB originally, that's all, it was SO long ago.

But found the key, and that was that I had the zero borders option on, so I just had to keep reducing borders until I was happy again.

I find all the lines distracting. \:\)

Can be for sure for those used to classic's styling \:\) I did a 7.1 theme based on the old ubbcentral's (and the threads' control panel) stylesheet - turned out pretty well but I still need to reduce some borders on it too \:\)

And to think, I was, and still am, pushing for more classes for a more powerful customization... (Pagination information, Active Topics cells, etc)
