BlackRainV.2

[ReneeH]

Please forgive my ignorance, I am so new to this I don't even understand half of what you are saying. O.O

I'm free to download this and use it, right? What are the limitations on mods? I don't want to change what I'm not suppose to. Am I allowed to change buttons?

Please... nobody eat the noob! I wanna play within the rules!

You may change whatever you like (Crip may correct me if I'm wrong, but it is usually the case with themes), so long as you leave the themes copyright in tact.
You may change it to something like "BlackRainV.2 modified by ReneeH" or whatever.
With mods, if you are using the SMF 1 branch, most will need to be manually modified to work on "custom" themes. With the SMF 2 branch, only a few mods may need edits to your 'custom' themes templates.

[Crip]

Your correct Sabre™ , so long as you leave the themes copyright in tact.

Excellent.... I just wanted to added some buttons to match my header. Great Theme *thumbs up*

The theme is awesome and everyone love it, but I noticed that using the SimplePortal every block, the Announcement, the Side Blocks, etc has the down scroll bar, this takes the whole look out of the theme making look not that nice. But if I switch to the Default, everything looks fine with no scroll bars.

[Crip]

.. switch Portals ?

  TP Rules!

Hello Crip,

Thank you for a wonderful theme.  I am somewhat new to all of this but have done well in modifying some stuff so far but I do have some things I just cannot figure out and it's driving me insane....hahahahaha.  I hate asking because I'm one of those that just keeps going and going until I figure it out and I usually can but I'm at my wits end or just tired after days of trying.  So I will try to explain as clearly as I can what I am wanting, please excuse my not knowing techie lingo. Anywho...

I could not find a thread for the BlackRainV.3 which is what I have on SMF 1.1.11.

Here are the items I'm trying to change:

1)  I changed the plain black background to an image that matches my site but the part in the dark gray middle (that appears to float) I want to scroll but not the background.  So I guess what I need is the background image to be fixed to fit any screen resolution but not scroll but the center area to scroll.   Oh and I want to widen that dark gray center as well, sill have some background showing on each side but just not as much how about half that side background that is showing is what I want showing or I think I do, I may do it and go ick back to original but I would like to see what it would look like for I would like the forum area wider.

2)  I have also changed the text color to match my site as well, so no more orange but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the hover color on the toolbar (Home, Profile, Admin, etc.), it's still orange.

3)  I've not even begun to think about changing buttons yet (new, unread, etc.) so I may be back with questions on that or maybe not but... unless you want to supply some basics on that as well.

Here is a screenshot: 


If I have not been clear or you need additional information, let me know and I'll post it ASAP.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.  Or anyone for that matter!!!!.

MV ,
You need to post this question on the correct theme board -- BR3 is not BR2 ...

[MadVelvet]

Ok, sorry I could not find the BRV.3 thread early so instead of search as v3 I just searched by Black Rain and found it...D'oh.  Ok, reposting there with some of it deleted for I figured one of these things out.

Thanks and sorry.

Very cool, I like this mod.  Is there any way that I can move it between my shoutbox and my forums?
Like so:


I want to put streaming video from different sites in it and this would be a lot better than changing code every time.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas!

I am using 1.1.11 and BlackRainV.2 theme

Thanks in advanced,

I am with Crip on this. HUH?

What mod are you speaking of moving between shoutbox and forums?   

[duder673]

Oh my bad, the CustomBox mod.  I cannot figure out how to get it right under my shoutbox.  What file would I edit to do that?
