I can only see thumbnail. I need to see it in detail. How can I?

You could download it and then upload it to your site. Then apply it as your theme. That's one way.

I suggest contacting the author to put more images up.

Anyways, wrong section. Moved to Graphics.

Also, for many themes there will be a link to a demo website, you could ask the theme creator to make one, if you wish.

Well as that theme is for 1.0.x it wouldn't be compatible with the current 1.1.x version of SMF.  Now if you are running 1.0.x then it's imperative you update your forum ASAP.  This will insure it's secure and has all the added functionality of the latest version of SMF.

http://www.smfthemes.org is a great site for viewing themes in action, though this old outdated theme I'm not sure if it will be there.

Out of curiosity I just checked the comments thread for that theme you linked to.
Not many posts from the top it contains a dirty great screenshot and  an updated 1.1.3 version, which would be fine with 1.1.5.
If you had read the thread, which is only one page long, you would have seen this.

Thanks go to Runic for the update. 

Quite a nice theme btw. Thread here. Read it.

UPDATE: I just tried loading that theme on XAMPP and the 1.1.3-compatible zip is corrupt.
Structure seems basically ok but all images are missing, as in missing from the zip itself. 

Pity, because it's rather nice.

ETA: Ok, I grabbed the original 1.0.7 version as well and that seems to have everything in it. I'll reconstruct the 1.1.3 version using the images from the 1.0.7 file and test it to make sure it's ok. Will let people know when it's sorted. Shouldn't take much.

Come to think of it if anyone can tell me the required changes for 1.1.5 I might as well update the thing properly.

You expect people to read ReadMe's?















Yeah, ok. I go read..................... 

ETA: Piece of cake. I'll sort it.

Yeah ... tell me about it.   If it wasn't so true  ... it would be funny

Ok. Sorted.

1.1.5 version with matching Calendar button is attached. If anyone needs to make extra buttons there is buttonblank.png in the images/english folder. This is overlength and can be trimmed to suit.

Font is 12pt Verdana bold. Font colour is #B2B2B2.

I also added "Show unread posts since last visit." and "Show new replies to your posts." links to the user area at top right. Figured it should have them since they're handy.

I couldn't attach the zip in the theme thread itself as I don't have attachment permissions there.

ETA: And there are no Thumbs.db files bloating the zip either. Not even one. So there.

This is a very very nice looking theme.  I need to add a few more buttons on top. Can you tell me the code for external links. Think it would be easier to do it that way.

Currently I have.
