QuoteUnable to load the 'main_above' template.

any ideas?

Mick.

A css file was missing.  Fixed

I wish SMF lets me remove packages :-\

Very nice, using right now.  Except my bottom section looks bad.

http://www.activeboards.org/index.php

Or is it just me.  Left corner bottoms not so rounded.  And top right above "activeboards - Info Center" that extra blue strip looks bad.  Or could be my mac but safari, firefox, and flock all show the same.

very nice, but there are many pictures for editing. are many color changes.

Fixed.   Remove old an download new.  The one with 324kb in size.

This theme is very nice. Except in the newer version the gray strip at the top is gone.

Ya, and no rounded corners this  time.  Looked better with rounded corners.

Confusimo

Well I fixed the bar issue.  I don't know about the rest but I fixed the bar issue.

smp420

Actually I think the old version was a little bit too rounded and the new one isn't rounded enough, I think somewhere in between would make it look great. Also the 2 bars on the info center should be rounded.

Or like this round on top and bottom and square in the middle.  It took a while to do but I finally got it right I think.

Confusimo

Oh wow, much better.  Nice cleanup smp420

smp420

It wasnt hard at all I just used parts from the header turned upside down.
"Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out." -Jack Buck

Confusimo

That's what I did.  But also you added the border around the bottom section top and bottom where the sides are grey.

Confusimo

Oh, and also some text is too light and hard to read.  Under main page under unread posts the links are hard to read.  Also when you click on a board like general discussion for example all the links there.  Plus navigation links on top that tell you what forum you are in.  What in index.css is the color for  those links???

I don't see the picture, because it's small.

Oh btw, the buttons were looking a little crowded in the menu so I moved the curve up a little.

smp420

Yes I noticed that and I was going to move them down a little bit in the css but your idea is better I did this as well and I cleaned up the fading at the top http://www.gamerforumz.com/test/ I think it came out pretty good. Time for me to setup a new site to use this theme. Thanks BlueDevil for making this theme and I hope you dont mind us posting our theme changes here.

Confusimo

I still prefer a little more space but it look much better now.  I'm going to try this on my forums and see how it looks.

Confusimo

Ok, not bad looks pretty good.  But the grey text and links were hard to read so I changed it around.  Mad eit all black.

Now just a few issues.  On top in the header it says hello admin and the date under neath.  That and the words "variant by" in the footer copyright are still grey.  Can't figure out what causes that.  Where in index.css.


Zoric


Confusimo

I found it.  In index.css  Footer section.  2 thing with the # sign.  Change to #000000.  And in index.css also search for #cecece.  Change to #000000 also.  The problem with this is that it is black copyright and hard to read.  But if I change the standard links to #a6a6a6 to make the footer copyright easier to read then it becomes hard to read everything else (board links).  The problem is the footer doesn't have seperate links section from the rest of the board.  I can use <font color=""> but that is outdated.

Confusimo

There was more but I fixed the links issue.  But I just noticed in internet explorer it still smushes the top links.  We need to make it bigger.  Add more padding.  1 more time smp240 please.

smp420

Although the header on my test site is about 15 px bigger and works fine I changed it for you. This is also cleaned up a little more. And also I got bored so I started on a purple variation of this theme just for fun look at www.gamerforumz.com/test
"Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out." -Jack Buck

Confusimo

Actually I found the problem.  It looks fine.  It is when you log out it gets smushed.  When you log in it goes back to normal.  At least in ie 8 on my moms windows 7 it does.

Confusimo

It's not much but as you can see it does go up a little when logged out so that helps, thanks.

Confusimo

Purple doesn't really flow.  But try these instead anyway.

coldy316

is there any chances of doing this theme in a liter blue color, more like a sky blue but not to dark and not to lite
something like this would be very nice..

I'm not good at this stuff but would like to see more themes base from this kind of color.

Question:

I know this is a fluid theme. Is there a way I could "break" it so that it become a fixed width?
Thanks!

next question...
How would I get rid of the white lines...
This is the aeva media mod if that makes a difference...

If the theme looked fine before uploading aeva mod, then the mod didnt load right.

No, you cannot rid if of the white lines as the entire forum is one image.

MordyT

I manually installed the mod...as I have 56 other mods (various forums) before it...
The rest of the site is fine, just this one area...

I am going to do a clean install, your theme, and the aeva mod on a test board and see what happens... I have a feeling the same thing will happen...

Its seems that the menu_gfx.png wasnt loaded.

Not sure this is supported, I noticed the site name in the top left is Grey not white,
I tried a couple browsers and a smart phone and its light grey can you tell me where in the theme this can be changed to white ?

Thanks.

if you are using the forum title and no logo look in the index.css for

h1.forumtitle
{
line-height: 45px;
font-size: 1.8em;
font-family: Geneva, verdana, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
}


and update it to read

h1.forumtitle, h1.forumtitle a
{
line-height: 45px;
font-size: 1.8em;
font-family: Geneva, verdana, sans-serif;
color: white;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
}


fwiw i havent tested the code

Appreciate the idea, its didn't change it however I was able to make it black which on that blue makes it easier to see so will  consider it solved for thanks again.
