imPulse2 (Updated for SMF 2.0 final)

The theme would have to change, it was made so that only small slices that repeat would be used, thus saving bandwidth. A big image should prob. be set in the body tag in your case, then the rest placed on top of it..but that means the slices must have the background erased from them. Since i used JPG images, PNG 24bit would need to be used for them.

I don't know if my photoshop can do 24bits. There are online editors.

So I could just redo your slices with transparent edges?

What would you do then, just rename them the original name, like left.jpg?

Or I would need to find and replace the suffix in template php file?

Thanks so much!

Yes, make them the same, but with transparent edges.

No, you need to rename the suffix to .png...but only in index.css. Search for the .jpg names there.

Then you need to add your new background into images folder, and add a background style to the "body" style:

Code Select Expand


body{
  background: url(../images/mybackground.jpg) no-repeat;
}

Then you should not have to do anything else.

Okey, thanks.

I made my png's, my photoshop can do it, just didn't know how.

Put them up redid the code, it all worked.

But...

I didn't like it.

I went back to redoing your slices, I think I got what I was looking for:

I think I'll go with that.

I just have a little crowding problem up top for some reason.

Thanks for your help!

I made my own version of the onoff file you included...

not sure what to do now to change the buttons.

Thanks

[Tacman7]

Sorry, that ones too easy.

Getting there.

Thanks

I'm trying to make it so some boards will not be visible to guests.

I was looking at this mod:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=610

it says:
This mod supports only the 'default' theme. (Note: The "default" one that came with SMF, and not your forum's default!) If you are using another theme or a modified version of this one you will have to apply the changes manually.

Do you know if it would work on this theme?

Or another way to go about it...

Thanks

It should work as it will change templates which imPulse doesn't use(or customise).

[Tacman7]

I installed it but it had a lot of warnings and failed tests and said I shouldn't install it. That's pretty fancy.

The thing I'm working on now is the formatting in the header.

The title is coming down into the search unread/replies line.

Is that something I can add a few pixels in the style sheet or something?
