CBI Modification
This modification gives you the ability to change the default board icons to ones you choose. All that must be done is; install this package through the package manager, make an icons folder in the theme directory that you are using. One more folder inside that for each board and place your icons there. Keep in mind that this modification only installs to the default theme, if you are using a custom theme with "BoardIndex.template.php" and "MessageIndex.template.php" files, they will have to be modified manually. Those are the only two files this package modifies. Follow the file structure listed below.

New Changes:
-Readme Updated
-Slight code changes. (two lines are commented out for now)
-Another Version Change
-Language (No Icon Set)error has been fixed.
-Error in MessageIndex.template.php fixed

UP AND COMING:
-Admin Panel

cbi 11- installs with SMF 1.1.12

NOTE:
There are instructions in the readme attached with this mod. If the icons fail for some reason or you uninstall this mod, the board icons will default back to the original icons. For quick reference

README INSTRUCTIONS: (These vary slightly per mod but nothing major)

--- Quote ---Create icons folder in to your /Themes/default/.
In the icons folder create folder which name is the boards id,(meaning only the
number of the board) where you want custom board icon.
Then put on.png, on2.png and off.png in that folder.

Structure:
forum/Themes/default/icons
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/on.png
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/on2.png
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/off.gif

(Where "board_id" is the id number of the board you want the icon to show up for. So for example for your first board on your forum it would look like this:

forum/Themes/default/icons/1/on.png)

I am finding that this doesnt work on boards on "Child Boards".  When I click on the Parent board and get the listing of Child boards, their icons are the default ones.

Any suggestions?

Bigguy:
In the next version of cbi there will be support for child boards. I was going to put it in this one but I did not get it ready in time. For now though here is a small solution to the problem. It's almost like this mod but a bit different:

Xarcell:
wow, I can't wait for the updated one with the childboards icon. Very nice mod...

Bigguy:
Thank you. I'm not sure when it will be out but keep an eye out for it.
