Style.css (the main one without any fancy names):

Code Select Expand

#header {
position: relative;
height: 120px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}

#head-r {
height: 120px;
padding-right: 20px;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}

#head-l {
padding-left: 20px;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}

#logo {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
display: block;
width: 825px;
height: 120px;
cursor: pointer;
}

Note that if you increase the height you will need to make new header-l, header-bg and header-r images for every variation of the theme you wish to use. No, I aint doing that for you. That's your job.

If you increase the width to more than 825 the logo will begin to cover the userarea at the right of the header when someone views the forum on a 1024 screen.

LOL,

I would not expect you to,

I will leave it as it is.

I am going to ask you something ........

My logo at foreverlastingfriends.co.cc do you think the colours match or do you think i should change them?

Be honest!

Looks ok. If you decide to change it later that's easy.

Seems the drop down menus are having some conflicts with the Integrate Lightbox mod.

As you can see, the button's text will show through the image opened in Lightbox. If I hover over a link with a drop down, it will show the drop down menu over the image aswell, sorry for not including that in the screenshot. Also sorry for PMing you for support earlier, didn't notice your sig 

Thanks

[Antechinus]

The drop menus have a z-index setting, which means that they have multiple layers. I suspect this is why they are superimposed on your image. In effect they are "higher" than the background.

I'm not familiar with that mod at all, but I'd suggest changing the mod code to add a z-index to that would be the solution. Altering the menu z-index is going to cause trouble. You really should talk to whoever made the mod first and see what they can come up with. Since I have no idea how it works anything I propose may just cause more problems.

I wish I could do that, but the mod author has been absent for quite a while now :/

[Antechinus]

Try asking in the mod thread first, with a link to my previous post as that may help. See I know a fair bit about this theme (obviously) but I don't know anything about that mod. Somebody else probably does. There are plenty of people here who know more about coding than I do.

Give it a go and if you can't turn anything up I'll take a stab at it, but I can't guarantee anything.

[Antechinus]

I just checked the mod author's profile and he's been active here in the past week. He's your best bet.

Great theme! 

Great support you've provided to your customers!

How's that SMF 2.* version coming along?   

[Antechinus]

Well it'll be ready by the time SMF 2 goes final. Hopefully it'll be ready well before then. I have a reasonable grasp of 1.1.x but haven't had a thorough look at 2 yet.

[genieuk]

I noticed the theme was updated on 11-10-2008, what changes was made?

Thank you,
Mathew

[Antechinus]

That's funny because I didn't make any changes to the theme. Maybe one of the SMF team edited the page for some reason. Anyway the theme is still the same. I will be updating it soon though. I've hit a bug getting the colour change to work with SMF 2. As soon as that is sorted I'll submit a beta 4 version for approval and at the same time I'll replace the drop menu code with a better one I've been working on.

Of course that code would be transferable to earlier copies of the theme if anyone wanted to do this.

[genieuk]

look forward to it.

Thanks
Mathew

Best theme in the world!!!

Hi,

I decided to enable users to change the theme from the outline to the others which is part of the outline theme.

One thing thou.

I decided to create my own background on one of themes i created it uploaded it and all shows well but problem is it shows as squares not stretched.

What i mean is i created a 275 x 275 pixel like the background size for the Mircalla theme i overwritten the default background for the Mircalla but like i said instead of it being stretched it shows as 275 x 275 sqaures.

What am i doing wrong?

It basically like XP / Vista wallpaper you can choose squared, centred, stretch that what i mean, i want it stretched so it looks like one pattern.

Thanks
Mathew

[Antechinus]

Dunno how to do that. I've never tried. You might have to ask in the coding help board for that one.

[genieuk]

mmm,

you created the theme, maybe you misunderstood.

Basically the background for the Mircalla theme you have it look like a red flowery curtain file name (body-bg.jpg) i decided to create my own pattern i basically created it the same size and everything and overwrite it but instead of it looking like one curtain for example it shows more than one, see image below for what i mean.

as you can see from image it shows the background fine but like in squares form not just one image like the curtains background

[Antechinus]

Ok, you don't want it to "stretch". What you want is for it to tile seamlessly. To do that you have to make your image so that it will match along the edges (meaning all four edges). The original background was done like this, which is why it appears to be one large image. It's something you'll have to do yourself with whatever graphics program you have available.

[genieuk]

ok thanks.

I am using photoshop elements 6.

Thanks you,
Mathew

Hi,

Can you tell me where the button tabs are is there a limit on how many you can have?

reason why i installed Vgamers links mod and when i add a links button to the custom theme (index.template.php) it does not show correctly. please see link below of image for what i mean.

Vgamer looked at the code i made and says it is fine so all i can think of it something to do with theme that limits the number of tab buttons.

The code i used was:

Code Select Expand


// Invite Mod
                if (allowedTo('invite'))
                echo '
                   <li>
                   <a' , $current_action=='invite' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=invite">
                       <span class="menu-left"></span>
                      <span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[invite_title] , '</span>
                      <span class="menu-right"></span>
                   </a>
                   </li>';
