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;
}
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:
Change the height 200px to suit your needs.
Refresh theme in admin control panel and your web browser for your style.

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.....
So far so good
