A dark-multi-themed forum skin called Pixels, features very light-weight .jpg backgrounds for SEO Purposes and very few images.

Change the background colour of all elements to "transparent" and add a background image to the body or wrapper tag

Why not up it to RapidShare, or somewhere, and post a link?


As long as you put an "At your own risk" disclaimer, of course.


Just a thought...

Hmmm... I wonder if it'd be worth me asking for an SMF v1.1.11 compatible version...
Title: Re: [Preview] Pixels* Multi-Theme
Post by: Deaks on April 10, 2010, 03:22:44 PM
well by screenshots it looks like core base so cant see it be hard ... also kat :p

To save you some time, I can report a small cockup.


If you install the theme, as it's presented, it doesn't install, properly, because there's a directory that it's all in and there shouldn't be.


So, when you install it, it goes into a directory called "PixelWood", inside a directory named... "PixelWood".


Easy enough to sort-out, of course. But, it might leave noobs going (http://www.augk18.dsl.pipex.com/Smileys/scratchhd.gif)

yeh you need to zip the contents not the folder
Title: Re: [Preview] Pixels* Multi-Theme
Post by: kat on April 10, 2010, 03:34:54 PM
Works well, though, once you move stuff out.


Just got to get rid of that irritating "Ain't ForumSkins great" thing, at the top... ;)

Easily done. :)


That is a damned fine theme, that.

I've fixed the issue & zipped the contents. I was used to zipping contents of folders on other developer sites, that's I messed up here. Typically I like to zip the theme into another folder so that it doesn't spill a mess in my downloads folder upon extraction

Honestly, I'm an SMF newb. Not really sure how compatibility works. I'm guessing theirs no easy bridge. I probably would have to install that version of SMF, learn that version and rebuild the theme from scratch, eh :/.

If you don't mind me fiddling with it, if I get the chance, I may be able to do something with it.


More likely not, but it might be worth a try.


Probably best to wait and see if this gets approved, first, though, ay?

Nice theme. Very basic changes but quite effective. :)

Seems rather wide, on my forum.

Get a smaller screen.
Title: Re: [Preview] Pixels* Multi-Theme
Post by: kat on April 19, 2010, 05:41:42 AM
That'd make it seem even wider, you lemon. ;)
