Link to the theme


This is modern theme for SMF 2.0.x, a rewrite of an earlier theme. It has some options added to it:

- option to add extra copyright line
- option to add Twitter/facebook/LinkedIn icons.
- option to add a custom footer, with 3 columns.
- option to show said columns on the right of the forum instead.

One of the best themes I've seen in a really long time..

[OCJ]

Looks good.... as usual.

The 2 Best THEME I seen EVER in SMF.

DilberMC is the first, but isn't in 2.0

[Irisado]

That's a really good theme in my opinion.  I really like the shade of green, it's clear, and there's no clutter.  Very impressive.

Really like the theme. I am having an issue.

Under Current Theme "Logo image URL:" does not appear to be working. I can change the image manually.

I am running:
SMF 2.0.4
SimplePortal 2.3.5

Tried clearing the browser cache, different browser and running the maintenance tasks on the forum. Also un-installed and re-installed theme.

Added a screen shot. Noticed it is showing the URL for the custom logo at the bottom of the theme instead of replacing the image up top. (Note: I layered the logo over the image.)

The theme doesn't change the logo at all, thats a bug. I am not sure why you see a url..but I cannot duplicate it. I will correct the logo error though.

[OCJ]

Please post here when the logo bug is fixed... I would like to install this     but lots of mods so need to wait.

There is no singing/dancing smilie to use!

[ARG01]

Not bad. I am currently doing similar with the footer blocks.  Nice work.

Use ya own.

I just thought it'd be a nice touch to the theme, been doing it for years so it not like its groundbreaking stuff lol.

One could actually make up a whole "mini-portal" around a theme and its settings(thats why TinyPortal was born anyway, when the theme wasn't enough)..but I am not sure its any interest for something like that. Either people use a full-blown portal like SimplePortal or even TP, or they need just a box or two underneath the content. I guess. (not really sure of course)

I am more inclined to think that the theme should look an feel good, rather than having a gazillion theme features.

[ARG01]

I found that most are desiring built in footer blocks or links and social icons. The only real reason that I use a portal at all is because it's just faster to build pages.

[bloc]

Yes.

TP would be much lighter if all it did was create extra pages. Its the panel and block functions + all the custom layout choices for its pages/articles that make it complex. In fact..if a theme could facilitate the showing of TP articles(without most of the article layout choices) and the blocks(without TP panels functions and block layouts) - then a theme would be all it needed. Maybe thats something I will add to this theme, looking into it now.

[OCJ]

Everything looks ok. Just 2 things I would suggest.


1. On some side blocks (custom html) it is using scroll bars when not necessary - doesnt look good. I think some of the older thems did this. Newer ones of yours I used didnt - Coral, Carbonate, Bloqcs were ok.

Proteus was one that displayed the scroll bars.

It shows the scroll bars in Explorer 8 and in Google Chrome, but not in Firefox and Opera.


2. The only other thing is there is no contrast or colour variation for sticky posts - just look like ordinary posts at the top (except icon).

I stripped most of those out.

Very nice theme, but there are some issues with stats_history.gif and useron.gif, it seems that files are broken

In what way? They are direct copies from default theme, but it could be the zipping process.
