Creating a style....

[Bullseye]

Ok, I've sussed out how to set up a test forum on xampp, I've been experimenting with the styles, but I'm kinda lost with some of the codes, like the last topic title on the index page, also I need a little help with changing colours ect...

I was wondering if someone could help me with making a style to look something like this..............


Thanks in advance

ps. The image is something I made on photoshop...

heres the 1st steps, let me know when your this far.
open styles/prosilver/theme/coulurs.css
find:

Code: Select all

html, body {
	color: #536482;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

replace with:

Code: Select all

html, body {
	color: #536482;
	background-color: #12a2e9;
}

open styles/prosilver/theme/common.css
find:

Code: Select all

#wrap {
	padding: 0 20px;
	min-width: 650px;
}

replace with:

Code: Select all

#wrap {
	padding: 0 20px;
	min-width: 650px;
	max-width: 900px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

Change the width 900px to suit your needs.
find:

Code: Select all

/* Round cornered boxes and backgrounds
---------------------------------------- */
.headerbar {

add after on a new line:

Code: Select all

min-height: 200px !important;

Code: Select all

min-height: 200px !important;

Change the height 200px to suit your needs.

Refresh theme in admin control panel and your web browser for your style.

Just tried it, but it doesn't look any different.... should it look different at this point?

[Steve]

it should look a bit like this.

one step..PNG

did you goto admin control panel > styles > themes > and refresh the theme you just edited ? and refresh your web browser ?

[Bullseye]

oops silly me..... done it

It looks like the one in your pic now.....

[Steve]

what do you need todo now ? , i tryed to grab your site logo but want save other than php file for some reason my be a rotating background script on free forums or some script they have,
is that next ?

[Bullseye]

Rounded borders and then I would like to add the board index, search, faq, login and register tab at the top like in the pic I posted, I would like some help with installing the last topic title mod, then I should be all set, I want to install the 'profiles on the left' mod but I think I can do that as I've done it already on the test forum.

Thanks for your help again.

Talk tomorrow.

Here's what I've done so far.....

Profiles on the left and what you helped me with, all I need help with now is installing the last topic title on the index and I need a little help with installing AJAX chat.....

[Steve]

Your missing a few edits for the profiles on the left, the user_online .gif is still on the right
Sorry yes will post rounded borders tommorow

Profiles on the left and what you helped me with, all I need help with now is installing the last topic title on the index and I need a little help with installing AJAX chat.....
