Default theme (RC3 Curve) colour variations - updated

[butchs]

I temporally added some snow and light animation courtesy of Treetop Climber along with a bunch of php edits to my theme.

I'm on my 4th re-theme of Curve.
This is a design I'm working on for my girlfriend Fire Emblem roleplay board.

There's a lot of little things that had to be changed and I've ended up making a lot of changes to BoardIndex.template.php

Nice theme, but you should be asking before stealing my admin and mod stars.

Hello,
i have changed from smf 1.1.10 to smf 2 RC2.2.

In the 1.1.10 i haved the Dilber MC Theme with colour changer.

Your Themes are very nice but my girl-friend says "it`s all so dark"
(my favorite is the chocolate and karamell)

Now my question:
is it possible to make a theme with colour changer how Dilber MC with the standard curve Theme?
Maybe with lighter colours and the colours where you haved made.
You know Dilber MC? lightnavy, lightblue, lightsilver, lightbrown, lightgolden, lightviolett, lightgreen, lightlilac, lightred etc.

I haved make a colour-change test by myself............forgett it.............i`m not a code freak.

Thanks for answers and happy Pre-Christmas-time

It is actually pretty easy to make a multi-color theme. I just made one. But I'm not sure if there is any official guide on how to do it.

[markus0868]

yes i think its very easy for you 

My Problem was the codeplaces. Where ist the place in the theme who i must change?
I need a handbook for the sections in the theme and the names from the sections.

I have maked a colour-change (learning by doing). I have changed some hex-Adresses but i have don´t see anything in the theme.
Only when i have changed windowbg, Backrounds etc. can i see another colour.
I have no plan what i do. The changing needs a very lot of time.

I´ve seen a theme generator. That was nice! But only for the smf 1.1.x. Not for my smf 2 RC2.2

Sorry for my english, i know........grammatics, vokables     but i think you know what i mean.

Greetings Markus

A multi theme is on my list of things to do but I think there is at least one available for RC2 already. I'll be updating an RC1 multi at the weekend, but that one is dark too.  

[markus0868]

oh fine!
when you have time under the christmas-tree..........i´m waiting for your new theme. 

My girl-friend wants to have light colours how Dilber MC. And i think too, it´s looks more friendly
for a forum. But it´s not a problem when i have a Multicolour-Theme.

Important for me is the standard theme!

In my smf 1.1.11 with Dilber MC i haved ever problems with mods. And now with the standard curve
this time no problems! It´s better when the theme has no own Boardindex etc.

Much greetings

This should work for RC2 http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=1516

That doc confused the hell out of me when I first wanted to make a 2.0 multi. Never could make heads or tails of it.

It's actually dark, as my other themes.

It is confusing I think it should be rewritten or made into a mod

[markus0868]

Sorry for my (mabe unprovesionell) question,

but it is not possible to make a theme generator where i can load
a standard curve theme in an change the colours how i will?
After the change i reload the File on my server and can change the theme in the ACP?

Whif this method can Dummies (how i) make a colour change byself.

It sure would be nice to have the .psd file for the {menu_gfx.psd} ==> share anyone ?

[butchs]

You can try mine if you like?  I did not get the default colors exactly right and my buttons are differant sizes because I wanted to make them look like they are being pushed.  At least it is a starting point.

[Crip]

Thank you butchs

.......but it has no layers ..

[butchs]

Sorry about that.  I must have messed it up.  Luckily, I keep a zip backup of my masters.  I reloaded the attachment and the new one has layers.   

[Crip]

Yes --
i can edit that one  .. thanks again butchs

[Antechinus]

I'll make an exact copy of the original with styles and everything.
