When I found your theme, I feel in love with the ability to rotate images in the header.

I was quite disappointed when I discovered I could only rotate 5 of them.  Is there a way to increase the number considerable?

[Ricky.]

Well, you can add as man you want by changing a small word:
In index.template.php find :

Code Select Expand

background:url(' . $settings['images_url'] . '/theme/header/' . mt_rand(0,5) . '.jpg)">
Now change 5 with anything you want,  we have total 6 images, so if you add two more then name them :
6.jpg, 7.jpg and store them in Themes/rusty-white/images/theme/header/

and change above to :

Code Select Expand

background:url(' . $settings['images_url'] . '/theme/header/' . mt_rand(0,7) . '.jpg)">

Hi Ricky,

Thank you for the beautiful theme. I love it with one exception.

The background colour of the theme Grey does not auger well for my forum which deals with colourful orchid blooms.

I need to change the background to a complimentary image or a different colour to make it stand out a litle better.

How do I change the Background to a different colour or use a background image instead?

Thank you.

[waris]

Thank you very much.

Really nice theme simple but very beautiful theme.

[TheListener]

Ricky I am gonna give you a headache soon.



Love the theme but:

I'm planning on replacing the Search are with an image instead. Would this break the header?

Also the button which hides the user info can that be removed?

Was unable to completely install a mod due to the section where the rss and wap links not having the necessary code there. 

Other than that I can't think of anything else at the minute.

  Great theme Ricky, thank you for making that available to the world.

I'm an absolute newbie to making forums, and this is the first time in my life I'm making one. It will be a Dutch forum for hang gliders in The Netherlands and Belgium: hxxp:flightclub.host-ed.me/ [nonactive]

It's amazing how much I've up already, thanks to SMF and your theme.

Next up is trying to install a bit more shiny smiley set. Wish me luck!

Replacing full background may not be easy as this theme was made without css3 ,so its all images and color combination to create those shadows, you may need to edit images too in order to get background color changed.
