i have been asked if i can make this theme for 1.1.10

i will atempt to make EOTS MC25 for 1.1.10 but i have never really made themes for 1.1.10 before only 2.0RC1.2 so i can not promise that this theme will be released as 1.1.10 but i will try to do it and see how it goes

I just installed this on my site and I like it but there are a few bugs that need to be fixed. 1= The avitar is off centered in the square at the top and covers the message for the member. 2= Regardless of how hard I try it will not let you upload the group picture at the top of the page. 3= the squares for the color changes are almost completely covered by the bar, adm, articles, mail, etc. at the top, they need to be moved above the bar so you can choose the different colors. Also the background color should be lighter in the boards and articles. It should be white or a light gray so that the black lettering can be seen by the visually impared which I have quite a few of on my website. The other thind is that you cannot collapse the avitar at the top left. I think you have a good theme but the bugs need fixed badly. Thanks, Thom   [email protected] also the website is hxxp:thomstales.us [nonactive] Please send any suggestions to my yahoo mail so I can forward them to my webmaster. Thanks again, Thom

a link to your site would help me to see any problems you have  - what browser are you using?

as for the backgrounds, that isnt a bug thats the way the theme is designed and if you feel that they are the wrong colours then that is your personal preference rather than a theme bug - if you want to change the colours you can edit the style.css for each colour for windowbg, windowbg2 & windowbg3

I am currently using this theme on my site and I love it!   Very good job!!!  My site is located at www.syntheticmotorsports.org and I only have one question.  I would like to change the overall default font size.  Is there a place to change the font size code that all of the font sizes overall are based on?  The current font size is too small according to a few of my members.  If you could point me to the exact code to change so I can test different sizes overall that would be great!

Also, can you also poijnt me to how to add a forum Title in the center of the header between the user info and the image to the right?

Thanks for your help! 

[bullbreedluverz]

hi, adding forum title in the center wouldnt work on lower resolutions, you have to take into account that the header has to shrink somehwat from a high reolution screen to a low resolution and if you add text in the center of the header it would cause either the user info or the logo to drop down out of the header - it could be placed above the welcome message next to the avatar

ive already added your site name into the code


         
the font size is the default SMF font size, i havent changed it but for the main font open style.css

find

Code Select Expand

/* set a fontsize that will look the same in all browsers. */
body
{
font: 95%/90% Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  background:url(images/mainbg.png) #101010;
background-attachment: fixed;
margin: 0;
padding: 12px 0 4px 0;
}

try changing the font percentage to font size you want that would change the main font in the theme -

note tho there will be certain areas where that wont change the font size - the overall fonts in SMF isnt controlled in just 1 place and there are other files in the css folder that will need to be changed - there are a couple css files included with the theme but there maybe files used from the default theme that may need adjusting

try adjust the main font in the style.css and then take it from there and see if you feel other files will need adjusting

[BigDaddyDiesel]

Thank you VERY much!!!!  That helped a LOT!!!

God Bless!!!

[bullbreedluverz]

no problem - anytime

[swan]

Hiya - love the theme - especially the lighter one.  I am having trouble changing the logo to the site logo though can you point me in the right direction please x

[bullbreedluverz]

upload image called logo.png to the themes images folder and then press F5 to clear your cache

the logo has a maximum size of 565px width x 140px height

[swan]

Ok cool will try it now xx

[BigDaddyDiesel]

Ok, I figured out that changing the main style.css code default font size helps in the default color in IE8.  But nowhere else.  Not in firefox, OR in the other colors.  SO, here is what I think I need to do and I need your opinion on whether I can do it or not.  I think I need to change the font size to a larger size for each of the colors in the choices in the top header. 

I also would like to know how to change the default color for the theme.  It is currently on the light blue, (guessing on the name of it)  but would like the default to be black instead.  I would like black to be the color that everyone sees when they come to the site for the first time.

Thanks for any and ALL help!!!!!

[swan]

Yeah i was wondering that too there is nothing to set it in admin

[Antechinus]

Yeah the code for that is missing.
