Ok, I've finally packaged up the black and gold style and making it available for download. This comes with a custom wrapper with images, so you'll want to read the readme.txt file within for instructions.

One thing to note, is that this style is best viewed with high resolution monitors, since it can make the portal boxes fairly wide in some browsers.

You can demo this style here, by choosing the Black and Gold style in your preferences, or you can view it as the default style at http://www.rb69.com

oooh ooh... /me goes to rick's site to spam too!!

ty rick.. i'm up to TWO, yes... 2 whole posts on your site now.. no more crickets baby

oh, and i like your theme too

2 posts in 2 months, at that rate you'll be in double digits by the end of the year

lovely theme.. one small thing.. the new-alt (posts) was kinda blank..

i just copied (for now) from the alt and *poof* vooonerbar

Hmm, ok. Will get that fixed.

Ive imported it rick

But in the text file you say upload folder to

/styles/images

but also need to upload it to the

/images

folder too or the corners don't show

not really. i did just what Rick said and i have all my corners.

if you are referring to the styles editor. that 'feature' has been there all along.. what i've done is open /admin/stylepreview.php

and comment out two lines that (dunno why they are there) kill the styles dir prefix



like so and *poof* you see your wrappers in the preview area..

also, i made a quicky set of images that fit nice with this theme.. well i didn't make all of them, but the category, forum, sticky etc..

just upload them to /images/general/gold and go to the styles editor and change the general to point to gold..

I like, so you finally fixed your bugglets?

i could start posting over there... e in the quaudruple digits in a matter of days!

what buglets ? i didn't have any in the 1st place..



and that proves what again?

The reason Rick disabled the theme here was due to bugs in it... Since he's released it as well, i figure he had to have fixed the bugs ;)...

And it proves that I am a spambot :nod:

Yeh the style editor - that mind reading book paid off

hehe Mark, i hear you. the reason it popped into my head was that styles with wrappers (with images) always looked funky in the editor, but ok out in the real ubbthreads world..

sooo i dug into it to make the previews look peachy

Thanks to Rick for the style and SirDude for the fix and additional icons.

Tip: if you use in the class .form-input the following setting:
width: 97%;
then you can use the layout on on nearly every resolution. The problem - dont ask why - is the inputfield in the shout box. I use the width setting on all of my styles.

typo bug:

.markup_panel_unselect_text {
background: #343434;
border: solid 1px #000000;
coloe: #cccccc;

should be color

Is it just me but in IE7
the Islands are silly wide ?

I'm using ff and it looks "Normal" but in IE7
the islands are too wide for there content?

Nope, not just you. That's why it's labeled here as (high resolution), since it's ok in IE if you have a big resolution, but the side islands are too big if you don't.

So you saying Mark is not running at 1600x1200 or bigger

he's running 800x600

Probably running in safe mode also

ROFL - Then perhaps he is in 640x480x16 color - just to be really safe

I'm in Mono lol
And 320 x 125
The caveman version

You cheeky sods lol

Is there anyway to make them more like it looks in FF

Only on your own board. You could modify the CSS to change it's look and feel.

Rick says he's going to make changes to 7.3 that will allow FF, IE, Opera, etc to be detected differently and appropriate code used so that basically it should look the same i most browsers.

Now if that's really going to make it for 7.3 I don't know as I've not seen a lot of talk about it recently.
