Did you like this theme?


Blue Moonlight is a dark, modern theme. It was my second theme ever on Simple Machine's theme site.
Thanks to Gary for a name to the theme.
The theme works with SMF2.0.x only!

EDIT 08-2011: Corrected a few issues with the main_menu as well as removed the RC5 version!
EDIT October 2011: Checkboxes could not be determined if they were checked or not in Opera 11.51

30th November 2011
+ Added SMF 2.1 style dropdown menu
! Tweaked some of the graphics

The theme can be previewed here:

is there a problem with the header section of the theme?

I just made a custom logo head banner for the top section and it doesn't line up correctly
also is this theme compatible with all mods?  reason why i ask is because the Ad Management
mod does not install ads at top of the board above the smf logo

[Akyhne]

The theme doesn't use custom templates, besides the index.template.php which has only been edited with a theme note in the bottom.

I am having a problem with this theme and IE8 has anyone else reported any?

Only half the page loads sometimes. No problems with any other browser I am aware of.

Really nice theme.

[barry c]

Well I just found out its not the theme. Its IE8 and smf 2.0 RC2. Thanks I will post in the proper forum.

very nice theme really.

Mega-sweet theme!  Made this one my forum default.     One question though:

With mods applied, the admin section dropdowns don't have the black background all the way down.  The extra choices aren't legible.  Can you advise a fix?   

[Akyhne]

Can you show me a snapshot of this?

[lc62003]

Sure!     It does the same with the 'Configuration' tab as well.   

[Akyhne]

k, I'll have a look tomorrow.

[Akyhne]

Made a SMF 2 RC3 version.

Sorted in the RC3 version (just made a silent update).

[Akyhne]

I'm going to make this theme a multi color variation. The theme itself will not change how it looks, only the text colors.

Ideas for new colors are welcome.

[lucas-ruroken]

I really like this one

[hsimpson]

It is nice and clean but it is to dark for my usage.

[Akyhne]

If you use an old, cheap CRT monitor, then the chance is all dark themes looks to dark. I saw a few SMF forums out there using my theme, but with changed font. It makes quite a difference, that's why I'm now making it a multi-color theme so that people can choose.

You can see how the theme looks with white text here.

Hi Akyhne - I'm using your brill theme on my upgraded RC4 site and Portamx portal - http://www.alienexistence.com/

I've changed a few of the colours etc by hand

Couple of questions:

1) Is there a way of making it 100% width? If I put 100% in Theme settings, it still leaves a gap either side. (That's what it is set on currently)
2) I have the same problem with the menus as in above http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=351139.msg2466038#msg2466038

Many thanks

[Akyhne]

Ah, forgot all about the menu issue.

Nice colors, the theme will be a multi-color theme when made for SMF2. It's only for font-colors, though.

About the 100% width, I'll look at that and the other issue, but right now I'm hung up. If you don't hear from me in a week or two, just post here again.

[SteveW]

Hi Akyhne - The menu issue seems to be effecting member profiles as well now with mods installed as there seems to be too many items before the menu system turns white.
cheers

[Akyhne]

Can you take a snapshot, please.

[SteveW]

As attached thanks

[Akyhne]

Hmm, are you using the latest SMF RC4 with the Blue_Moonlight_SMF2.0_RC4_Theme.zip (244kB)?

I checked for that problem the other day and it wasn't there anymore.

[Akyhne]

See att.

Yes I have checked, it is RC4, the files on the server are indicating this as well:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<theme-info xmlns="http://www.simplemachines.org/xml/theme-info" xmlns:smf="http://www.simplemachines.org/">
<!-- For the id, always use something unique - put your name, a colon, and then the package name. -->

<!-- Theme name, used purely for aesthetics. -->
<name>Blue Moonlight</name>


Code Select Expand

<?php
// Version: 2.0 RC4; index


[Akyhne]

Hmm that's odd, because it seems the code is right. Can you PM me a test account?!

[Akyhne]

I found the issue now. Seems there's a class used in some cases in PM menus. Never noticed that:

Find:

Code Select Expand

.dropmenu li li.additional_items
{
background-color: #fff;
}

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

.dropmenu li li.additional_items
{
background-color: #0F0F0F;
}

[SteveW]

Excellent that worked a treat! Thankyou very much Akyhne

Hi Akyhne.

Great theme I have just downloaded RC4, did you ever make multi colour text option as I cant see any settings for it?

I would like to use a little more white text, especially in posts.

I would also like to put my logo where the text is at present across the top of the theme, can you help?

Thanks.

[Akyhne]

Hi there.

No not yet, but it will be in the next release which will come soon.

[Astra_200]

Hi there.

No not yet, but it will be in the next release which will come soon.

Ok thank you, I look forward to it

Could you help me in the meantime on how I can put my logo.jpg in place of the title text along the top of the theme?

[Akyhne]

Just go to Admin -> Current theme -> logo img url and edit that.
