If anyone wants to add drop menus to this theme I've just done a tut over at Dziner.

Thread is here.

ChrisB you need to read that. No way are you going to fit that many buttons in your menu bar.

Absolutely WONDERFUL theme. Best christmas one I've EVER seen. Thanks a ton for your contribution to the community! (Yeah, I don't think I've ever given feed back on a theme before and I actually use the default theme on all my sites with some custom mods..so needless to say I love it enough to use it. lol.)

I just installed this theme today and I love it.  However...there is a problem with my smiley set not working properly.  The smiley's all appear like they should in my administrative section but in the post boxes only text appears.  Any ideas how this can be fixed?

Hello,

Today I wanted to put out forum (I use SMF 1.1.7) in a Xmas style, and used this theme. But there's a little problem I think.
My forum has a lot of (sub) boards, and the theme don't fit. If I "minimize" some boards, the theme fits.
I've made a screenshot so you can see what I mean (http://www.brasschaattriatlonclub.be/naamloos.JPG [nofollow])

I didn't made the theme default, because the guests and the users won't be happy with that Smiley. If you want a demo I can make a demo-user.

Ps; sorry for my bad english!

Kilian

[Antechinus]

Demo would be a good idea.

[Kilian Hendrickx]

I think it's the right theme, because i've installed on my other site to test it, and there it works.
I've already checked that the 2 dir's are the same, and on the smaller forum there isn't design failure.

I made also a demo user, but please don't post anything on the forum. The user is demo-user and the pass is demo123.

I've noticed that with the demo user only the copyright comes up, but if I log in with my account (administrator) the whole footer comes up (as show in the screenshot). I've been testing and it seems that I "minimize" the recycling board the design is the same at the administratoraccount and the demo account. The copyright is both on top.

Tanks in advance
Kilian

--edit--
Maybe the installed packages may cause the error. Installed packages:

1.	SMF 1.0.15 / 1.1.7 Update	1.0
2.	Internal_Links_Use_Same_Window	1.2
3.	Media Center	1.0
4.	Easy Edit Meta Data	1.0
5.	Ad Managment	2.3

If I "minimize" all boards the layout is ok.

Compatible with: SMF 1.1.x (SMF 2.0 version will be added later this week)

Is there a 2.0 version available? On 4th december you wrote it would be available "later this week"

Yes, 2.0 version is available in our download section.

[Han]

Tnx!! 

We have 2 problems with the theme in IE7. In Firefox these problems are not there but over 80% of our members use IE7

1) We use "SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public" and when you open a topic there is a big empty space on top and on the bottom of the page. You can see what I mean on this image I clipped In firefox both gaps are gone.

2) Below on the page the buttons to moderate the topic are not there and the buttons: answer, notofication etc are not there. 
      You can also see that on the clipped picture.

I'd really like to use your theme. Can you assist me in these matters?

[Bikken]

The problem is that you're using 2.0 beta 3 while the theme is build for 2.0 beta 4. Cause of the many theme changes SMF made in beta 4, it will not work properly with earlier versions. 

[Han]

I know but the beta 4 version has still to many errors to use on my forum. I tested it on my testforum.
Thats why we are still on version 3.1

Ok, that's up to you. 

Beta's will always have errors. We make sure our themes work with the last one released and that's beta 4.

One of the reasons they don't recommend using a beta version on a live forum is because it is for development and debugging only. Unless you know what you're doing, you will run into these issues and have no idea how to fix them.

Most, if not all, templates designed for a specific beta version are not backward compatible and, for that matter, may not be forward compatible. Everything depends on the various changes that appear in the latest release.

Though I love this template, I suggest you use a template that you know works with your version of SMF.

[Han]

Okay.

@tampaba1
I do know what I do. I test beta versions first on a testforum before I use them on my "real" forums. 
My forum works fine on version 2.0 beta 3.1. The errors I found in that version are fixed now so we use that to our satisfaction.
In that version I can also moderate my forums using my PDA, an option that the 1.x version does not offer and what I use a lot.
Version 2.0 beta 4 had to many errors to use for real. I've tested it and several bug reports were send to correct these errors.
If everyone sits tight and waits until a non beta version is there for downloading, bugs will never be found. That is what beta testing is all about.

I need to ad some pictures (say ads) between the top header picture and the forum menu.

how to do it. which part of the code do i insert the ads.

Using the smf 2 beta 4 version

May I replace all the winter images with spring ones ?  I know that it will look kind of weird to see some tulips here and there and then the theme name "X-mas" but I think I can live with it.
I have the perfect images and the right to use them on my website but I do not have the right to distribute them as image files.

This theme could be the base of a great theme set : X-mas, Easter, Spring, Summer and so on. We need cheerful themes for hobby sites. 

[Antechinus]

Go for it. Mayday and Bik wont mind at all.You can change the name too if you like. The logo psd is available for download.
