I am starting a new forum about Mysticism and Hermetic Magick and Alchemy .
I am looking for a dark background with a space theme with stars and nebulas like this in SMF
but it is custom http://www.astralsociety.com/as/Forum/
or
a light back ground that will look mystical with castles and cloud realms and temples
like http://www.phpbb.com/styles/forum/index.php?style=173
Note : The graphics are not opening on my Firefox only on Internet , Why ?
My own server will not support MySql , phhp , SMF I live in Perth Australia , I have not found any servers locally that will support a Forum .SIGH We still have dialup in my town . Cry
A mmber has donated his server space and he put up the new forum in SMF but the members dont like any of the SMF themes . Roll Eyes and none of us can make a custom theme .
So I am looking into customising one but I can not find any offline generators except the SMF T. G. and I get an error message that Internet Explorer for security reasons has blocked content .
Is there another offline theme generator or Can some one help me to make the SMF TG work ?
The best skin we could find was at http://themes.simplemachines.org/
Mystic Night http://themes.simplemachines.org/index.php?lemma=24
but the forum board has indigo font on an indigo background and it is nearly impossible to read .
We like the following themes on PhhpBB
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo.php
clanz darkness
Guild Wars
Sky
Quiddith
What is Real
Are there any similar skins on SMF already ?
Why should we use SMF over Phpbb ? Are there any advantages ?
Can we convert one of these cool skins from phpBB to SMF if the server stubbornly insists we have to use SMF ?
Is there another place to look for SMF skins ? I have looked at all of the skins on the theme site here : http://themes.simplemachines.org/
I found this one in SMF Finally ! It looks good . Are there more like this hiding ?
