That does work with the main boardindex, but doesn't work with Child Boards :(

Oh, I've got it :) Child Boards' description is in the MessageIndex.template.php

Hi.. i'm using smf 1.1 RC2 Default theme and i changed the color to green by myself... i had to change all the theme gif's by photoshop.. and also made some settings in style.css file...

i hope you like it... thanks..

ooops.. here is the link: http://www.gizlibahce.biz

Looks very nice !!  :)
It would be better to change white backround to very light green  ;)

Thanks for the tips :)

For boards, on smf1.07 there is some Temple parse error...

I was wondering if anyone could help me on picking some nice blueish colors for my website :)

Nice !! Thanks for the tip!

Hi,looking very good,thanks for the tips.

i like this. i wanted to share my experience in that by replacing all the graphics used with colors only, SMF is simply the fastest forum platform i have ever used. but i hope someone can make a proper guide on how to do that? i only switched the paths in my theme settings so that my theme URL only would stay same.

Can someone please tell me the colour code for this board....I need this code for google adsense

where is the code where u can change numbers, or some other code to change, color of theme. (Im using this very default SMF Theme : Curve)

index.css

and then all of the coloured images....

A fairly useful colour chart with hex codes here.

If you are using a browser that supports it, you can also right click on a colour on your forum, select inspect element, and it will even give you the line in index.css that relates to that particular item.
