This allows you to edit the header image through admin cp. Just enter the full path to the image. You can disable this option. If disabled, the normal forum name text will be displayed.
I will get screenshots of the extra options soon. As well as the actual skin.
Thanks go to Cheese-Burger for creating the button set.
For all those who need this- (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg357.imageshack.us%2Fimg357%2F8804%2Fnew9vh.gif&hash=97657673cc39600e2ad6b5d2d66a40c94816670b)
Nice theme :).
-Dan The Man
Interesting theming concepts. Nice work!
-Jason
thanks guys. :)
some of the features i put in where the ones i escpecially liked when using vBulletin.
Wow, a very nice theme. I really like it. :)
The two things I would suggest are changing the box_bg.gif (Which is what is used for the top border of the headerbodies, as white doesn't seem to go quite right there).
I would also suggest changing the color of the input boxes to a dark blue so it matches with the rest of the theme, as right now it really seems bright.
Very nice looking. :)

the border? Yeah. Ive been putting it off. I took a different direction halfway through, and forgot to change it. It's not white, it's #CCCCCC :P. But i definately do need to take it off.
Would you mind telling me how i can change the color of the input boxes? :)
issac- thanks.
I like it, very futuristic.
ive edited it to make akabugeye's suggestions, it looks much better now. It will be availible soon, i just need to test it on another forum.
Good job! Love the soothing dark feel. 8)
good work

Looks better. But how about also changing the border color of the input boxes? It is still white and looks like it could use a darker color. ;)

ive replaced it with a 1px #333333
you can download it now from the first post. The quote, code, and inbox things have been fixed.
Well done Tippmaster just installed it on my theme and all working fine... one question why is the admin button at the bottom and not the top with the rest?
i dont know, i just decided to put it there. :P
Would you rather it on the nav. bar? Or does it matter? I can have an admin button made for you.
no i just odd place to put it, nicley hidden incase anyone gets into my account
hehe, well i guess so. ;)
That's actually where it is placed in vB (other side thought) and in phpBB (centered).
Good work Tipmaster! :)

Never used them, person who does my main forum has, the forum I installed it on I did myself. So I install all dark themes I can find ... my firend who does main forum went holiday and we ecountered a problem .. and I virtually screwed it up.. took him an hour to fix.. so I decdied id learn to run my own.
If anyone using this theme needs any other buttons made, just let me know and i`ll be happy to knock them up for you ;D
Looks very nice Tippmaster.
Sorta looks like what I am working on, although the theme I'm working on is dark grey and not blue.
Very nice theme. :) I like the "metal" feel of it. One thing though..the input boxes, they need some sligtly lighter border or background, can't see where they are now.
And the buttons are original , great work cheese-burger.

Yeah, that probabally would look better....
I also forgot a new "new" image. So ill update it again when i have time.
Nice work!
I'm using this theme now, though I tweaked it a bit to go to w3 standards. Also I used different buttons as the mono tone was kind of hard to see for me.
Great work :)
yep, that's on the list. w3 is so picky :P
Id like it if you could email me the changed files. ;D
Oh, it really wasn't hard. Got a IM? I can go through it real quick (didn't write down what I was doing, plus I changed some formatting so dunno if you want my stuff.)

[email protected]EDIT: BTW, any want to change the highlight color w/o changing text color? The way the background is it's kind of hard to highlight since the colors are close in shade.
EDIT2: Meh i'll just type it up.

1. Removed <center>, it doesn't like it and I didn't like/need it. Can align different ways through span I think.
2. Removed </td></table> and error went away. Leftover?
3. See 2.
4. Remember! LOWER CASE ;) Changed to <a href=
5. See 4.
6. <br />
7. See 6.
Easy as cake :)
you da bomb. I noticed you added the "Valid" logos back? hehe. ill have to make some matching ones and put them back.
hehe yeah. I used those tiny ones.
If you make theme-matching ones that'd be great :)
not sure if it's a PRECISE match, but it should look better.

Only happens on the main forum page, not inside anything...
Looks nice and smooth :)
Thanks Miraenda. That's actually the look i was going for. :)
God I feel like a total idiot, where do you download it?
It's attatched to the first post of the thread. :P
The text fields are too dark.... someone who don't know that the text field is there won't be able to find it easy.
any chance we can see this for 1.1?
yeah. Maybe. Ill probabally get someone to help me port it. I still dont know all of what i would have to change.
NightFell is now compatable with 1.1 beta 3. Thanks to bloc. :)
When do we get the right-color'd PHP and MySQL buttons? :)
Sorry for the delay. Things have been quite hectic lately...
Hope these will do. Im away from fireworks right now. :(

i think your right, never really though about it that way. Someone new to the software wouldnt just be able to guess where they are so easily. a lighter shade would be more fitting.
One thing I've noticed on this theme is the input window on the report to moderator screen is the same color font as the background.
Can someone tell me where I need to go to change the color of the text block when posting? Being the same color as the overall theme makes it very hard to see where to type. Great theme btw,very simple and nice looking.
anyone reading this? lol

Look for the Style CSS file in the theme folder. Look for the part that asks for the input text boxes and change the border color to whatever color you want :)
