The Chemical Theme has been relaunched now with a stunning background image, with new features and options for anyone who wishes for a strong but professional theme.

Theme Includes:

And many many more features that you need.

The previous incarnation of this theme got the Theme of The Month for January 2012, not imagine what the improved version can do!

This theme does use CSS3 and may look ugly if you use an older browser.

Please be aware the license of this theme has now changed, the older theme is now also under this new license.

I like the "Getting away from Curve" thing, especially.

Good to see some creativity going on! :)

I LOVE this theme.  But i have noticed a few bugs.  I use the MOD Facebook like bar, and with the new theme that bar is missing.   

Also it would be super awsome if Banners or images can be inserted after each board.  Like the board disc. accepting [img] code.

the mod most luikley makes changes to the template files and as this was installed after the the mod the changes will have to be made by you manually if you link the mod I can explain more.

Even with this theme you can use bbc and html in the bnoard descriptions  and what else you ask is possible just like any other theme.

I think you may have misspelled one file name:
thimbnail.png ??

Should be thumbnail.png shouldn't it?
I noticed it on the theme select.

It looks good. But I'm not liking the header stone graphic and I feel that the theme itself lacks substance, which is always a challenge when it comes to transparent themes. It relies way too much on the background graphic.

I also feel it was a mistake to have the footer text to the left. It gets in the way. It would fit more comfortably to the right of the screen I feel.

All comments are welcome, no theme will ever get a fully positive remark

Are you planning to keep this updated? I LOVE IT thus I don't want it to just die! :) I want to change some of the things about it personally, but I really wanted to tell you thanks :)

I guess I'm too stupid to figure out CSS though as I can't get the top name of my forum to change from white to something else, since I don't have a logo or anything (I assume).

Also, I'd like the text areas to be either transparent or darker with a lighter text, to avoid the angry eyes that I have now lol!

Just some thoughts! :)

I love the theme and you can see what I did with it here  http://northandsouth2004.com/forum/

I appear to have an avatar sizing problem.  I had my defaults set from the previous core theme and when uploading the Chemical theme, sizes were configured correctly but the avatar shrunk and is not a bit out of aspect ratio.

I tried setting the avatar sizes to "0" and that made no difference.  The avatar is show about 1/3 size that the image is.

Thoughts?

Seems I am having an issue with the upper right section that normally gives your details.  Here is a screenshot.

Hello I am having a little trouble styling this theme. for the life of me I cant style the footer I had it working threw firebug with some sort of CSS tweak then I meandered away to play with a background image and some how lost the code that worked before I got it on the server. Ive done a lot of tweaks but most of them have just been things like color and text. The only major change i made was i put min height on the content area and sucked the width of the content in a bit, down to 92%.

site is http://www.sakecat.com (http://www.sakecat.com)

what I need to know exactly is how would i change the footer color & what php file holds the actual content for the footer I would like to add a static link back to my home page. Centered between the  two copyrights

Could not keep theme after testing. Replaces heading with "The Chemical Theme", which kind of defeats the purpose of having plug-in theme for a forum. I don't want to have to edit images to get it to work right. Thanks anyway though.

it states that it's for 2.0.17....but yeah would probably need to modify the ezportal install for it to work as most themes do...easiest way to know is to try and install ezportal and see what if any errors it gives and then fix those....
Title: Re: Chemical
Post by: BCK on August 08, 2020, 04:31:25 PM
already have ezportal installed, wanted to know if need to uninstall first, leave and install theme with ezportal already on default ?

The only reason they 'don't work' is because their authors haven't updated the page that says they work.
Title: Re: Chemical
Post by: vbgamer45 on August 08, 2020, 06:09:20 PM
Yeah, hopefully have an option to do major versions in the future on modsite/theme site
