porting solaris to smf

[Marko Mitranic]

hello all of you SMFers... i got bit of a problem here, i started porting Solaris theme for phpBB to SMF...


http://www.jakob-persson.com/downloads/solaris
http://www.jakob-persson.com/styles_demo/index.php?s=8

i started by getting my smf to use Bloc's A-New-Damage theme, because the two are similar, therfore easyer to edit a-new-damage theme than the default smf...

i am familiar and got advanced knowledge in HTML, CSS and got a bit of understanding (!not writing!) PHP... so i started out myself.

changed css so everything fits (colours, images etc.)
copied images from solaris to a-new-damage.
and started looking into solaris design,

the conclusion is that it is preety simple, only few pictures: Background, background of forums, top and bottom...

so, where is the problem you ask... well, lookie here,

solaris has got

Code Select Expand

/* General page style. The scroll bar colours only visible in IE5.5+ */
body {
background-color: Black;
scrollbar-face-color: #111111;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #222222;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #333333;
scrollbar-arrow-color:  #F8A406;
scrollbar-track-color: #060606;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
background-image : url(images/bg_space.jpg);
margin-left : 0px;
margin-right : 0px;
margin-top : 0px;
margin-bottom : 0px;
color : #DDDDDD;
}
as background... ok, i set it like this in smf:

Code Select Expand

/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
margin: 0px;
background-image: url("images/nova/bg_space.jpg") repeat;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

so, it's the first problem, seems like i did something wrong, it wont show the background...




second problem comes here:

Code Select Expand

/* The background behind the forums to keep the look */
.content-bg {
background-image: url("images/nova/bg_space_one_layer.jpg") repeat;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: top left;
background-color: #000000;

}

so, i couldn't find that part (wich describes the "double-layered" background of the forums themselves) but i figured out that i'm doing something wrong here (yay, what a surprise  ), since again, here it won't show its picture...

so, can anyone help n tell me what?

*/images/NOVA/*.jpg
is the folder i put solaris images to...




P.S.  so, acctually i am not porting solaris, or damage theme, and since i wont sell any (for personal use  [www.sf-serbia.com/forum] ), i figured out that i dont really need aprovall from authors. Than again, i figured out that you wont help me if i dont get aprovall, so i got it from Solaris creator, John Presston. (as long its his copyright and not sold, he is okay with that...)

If the folder is in all caps it must be the same in the css...
