Link to the theme


Dirge Theme by Crip, Based on Astronomy Theme.

Dark Grey Gradients / on lime green colors makes a decent looking Theme, loads up fast and looks alright using IE6 and seems faster loading to me in IE..

Demo

TP Version

wondered if you've tested this theme with Opera and FF, all texts are centre in Opera, tabs bar move up and down when mouse over them in FF

[Crip]

Thats the QuickLinks tab thats there, remove it and tabs stay put.

IE & FF Looks fine to me, Opera is out of whack as usual

Any way you could provide me with instructions to add a new link to the navigation bar (not in the drop-down link menu, but an actual link such as the calendar) so I can add a button for the shop and arcade.

I love the theme, just I need that information because I'm code illiterate with themes!

Sure, just do this:
Add to the [current_action] this:

Code Select Expand


if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm', 'arcade', 'shop')))


Then add you link/button/tab:

Code Select Expand


// Show the [arcade] button.
echo '
<li', $current_action == 'arcade' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">Arcade</a></li>';

// Show the [shop] button.
echo '
<li', $current_action == 'shop' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop">Shop</a></li>';


There is now two new buttons/links/tabs

where is the HELP link in this Dirge theme?  I've spent over 20 minutes looking for it, and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I like this theme a lot, but I would like to make two minor changes:  1) I want to change the background color to a much lighter gray color since text is somewhat hard to read; and 2) I want to change the font style of the child boards display to Non-Italic Verdana

I am not a programmer, so I would be very grateful if you can tell me how to make these changes.

thanks in advance.

You change the background color in the style.css, also teh italic text can be changed there too in the: .windowbg3 ..

I found this below and as you can see I changed it from #555555 to #999999, but the change seems to not have been saved.  In other words, my changing the color code had no effect.  Does it have to do with the images background, and if so, how do I correct that?  It is causing me a major problem.  thanks.

Hi crip

I just discover the dark dirge theme and really love it. 

As i use french language it miss some gif to add and translate as 'markread.gif'
I can easly do the missing elements, and send then to you if you want, just say me here if you are interrested 

But, can you help me to add a button to make a link to my website, i don't have any knowledge in php, can you provide me instructions to add a button called ' Site ' that permit to go back my website ( hxxp:www.le-chaland.fr [nonactive] )  and rename the ' Accueil ' button ' Forum' ?
As it is visible on the screenshot avaible on the page of your thème ( http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=download;lemma=386;id=2850;image )

You can see my forum here : hxxp:le-chaland.fr/forum/index.php [nonactive] if you need ...

This will be very nice from you

Thats the QuickLinks tab thats there, remove it and tabs stay put.

Crip, very nice theme. Thanks for the hard work.
I am having the same issue of the tabs bar moving up and down.

I believe that I removed the Quicklinks code.
Now on the main page the bar does not move.
However when in a discussion the tab bar still moved up and down.
Any thoughts?
