Style for Christmas

[yack]

It's Xmas again.

I made it last Christmas when vb was 3.0.X. So I call it "LastChristmas".
Reminds me "Last christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away..."

So I lost the source files, like PSD, FLA files. :disappointed:

For the pain I suffered through style update, I try to edit as less templates as possible. And now only three templates are changed: header, footer and standard_redirect. This makes it compatible for all 3.5.X version. Next year, when I need it, I won't have to do much on the Xmas style. Well, this Christmas is the last christmas of next year also. :ermm:

There is a "big" header. If you don't want to use flash, you can use the head.jpg instead by modify the header template. Or for the download speed, I have this head.jpg sliced. See pics from "header_01.jpg" to "header_08.jpg". These pics are all in "styles/yyxmas/extra" folder.

The style's width is fixed to 770px. May be you like the width unfixed, you can edit the "header" template and "body" in main css. For I am busy these days, sorry.

This styles is made from a windowsblinds theme ChristmasTime by mormegil. Great thank to him.

1. Unzip the file downloaded.
1. Upload folder 'styles' to the ROOT directory of your vb.
2. Upload the XML style in admincp and your done!

The fla.zip contains three different snowing style. You can choose what you like.

Here is a fluid width style for unfixed width use.

I am busy and lazy, I am not clear about the new pics added for the unfixed style use. So, simple rules for simple person. Just copy the whole extra folder . Overwrite exsitings. That's it.

The unfixed version's xml file is in LastChristmas+.zip named vbulletin-style-yyxmas-unfixed.xml.

Enjoy~

Merry Christmas and Happy new year.

This images is only for demo. The style is nothing about the language your vb use.

I know the feeling.

Had to uninstall because it sent rpg inferno haywire. :ermm:

[C_P]

Maybe there is a VERY nice and helpfull person that knows exactly what to correct for the style that could contact us individually..... waits with bated breath and fingers crossed.

[Bellinis]

Very nice style!!! :)

I would be very happy if you'd be willing to share the PSD files for the buttons, so I can translate them to dutch....

Cheers :D

[Ebolender]

This is simply wonderful Yack and thank you. I have this style as an option for members because some of mine have slow connections and this would no doubt slow them down. Some of already using and just love it.

[craigbrass]

This is the best Christmas theme I've seen so far for vBulletin. Thank you!!

[dan35]

Can I have a "THANKS" button? (or any PSD file) :)

[tuanluu]

@Yack
To fix the portal etc...

Go to Styles & Templates,
Go to Replacement Variable Manager,
Go to LastChristmas and [Add New Replacement Variable].

See screen in my attachment
My forum root is forum, but some people have forums or other.
Save and now you see a fixed portal :)

[Lottis]

Thank you yack. This was a very good christmas style.

[BeatificFaith]

I would like to use some of the images, but not the entire theme. What do I need to put in the footer to credit the images? Thank you :)

[funinthesun]

Wonderful work! Thank you! Just what I was looking for! :D *clicks install*

[funinthesun]

[Snake]

Oh I am going to use it soon.

[eNtitY~]

Is that Snow animated and flows down the page? If so I want to use it.

[C_P]

I want to personally thank Yack for not only this amazing style, but for spending several hours fixing it to work with our portal.
It is truely amazing work!

[Pluriel72]

Also from Germanye - thx very much indeed! :banana:

[BrandiDup]

The snow falls only in the header at the top. There is a mod you can add to your board to get snowflakes over the entire forum though.

put the full url for your style throug your template manager and in the header and footer.

[lovevn]

I want to use this skin in other languages. Can you give me the psd files?

[RaceJunkie]

put the full url for your style throug your template manager and in the header and footer.

Can you give a ittle more?
Put the url where? the image paths? they are all correct. I want my navigation bars to be the same size as the style.

[HMBeaty]

Stlye manager>all stype option> scroll your mouse down and you will see some thing like"Category Strips" "Tableheader"... in all these parts there are "background:...." put the full url for this one. I thinks in your site it is "back ground: /style/..gif" then put it like "back ground: http://www.yoursite.com/styles/image.gif"

Hope this help!

[JJH35]

nice work thanks

[samu2]

I love it,however for some reason it has came out funny

[clearchannel]

Does this change all my current styles, or can I create a new style called christmas?

[funinthesun]

It just creates a new style for you called lastchristmas.

[Supes]

Wow! What a great looking skin :D

[apokphp]

Due to the fixed width and me using a portal, I couldn't get it to look right on the site. However, the graphics were outstanding so I used them to temporarily decorate my primary style (just replacing buttons and icons). I also added the snow effect and it's looking pretty good IMO.

However, I did edit the the forum_new.gif and turned it into an animation. I've attached the file for easy download (if someone wants to use it instead of the default forum_new.gif.

[funinthesun]

I did the same thing as a lot of my members found it hard to read.

[mp3dreaming]

Most Xlent lookin style !!!

Good Job and Thank You !!!!!

[Kerry Jones]

How do I change it to my default theme?

I'm such a newbie. LOL

[wizardace]

Amazing style. :)

[samu2]

Ok how do I change the buttons? I have uploaded them but what code do I need to have them show up?

[C_P]

Ok, since I have gotton so much help and positive response from this style, I want to see if I can help on some of the easier questions here.
1. apokphp awesome image, thanks it adds to an already great style!
2. Kerry Jones you go to admincp, vbulletin options, and select Style and Language settings in drop down.Second section down: Default Style
3. samu2 I looked at your site mumsonthenet.co.uk and it appears you have things in order but you must have combined the styel instad of creatin a new one or used the buttons in the wrong style directory.

[Crypto1969]

AWESOME theme, VERY festive but I do have one problem. When a user posts into a forum the red tree decoration (Forum contains no new posts) does not change to a green one indicating the new post! Any ideas?

Hi Yack, how about the PSDs?

[ObiWan]

Hi
the best X-mas style ever seen . I' ve installed on my board .
Is there a way to increase the width to the entire page ???

Thanks a lot

cu

[yack]

@TonysDesigns: I am so sorry about the psd files, I made this style last year and now I lost the whole PSD folder. Now I have to use the Gif files edited to make icons and buttons.

@imported_ObiWan: I'll upload a unfixed width version later.

[ObiWan]

I'll upload a unfixed width version later
really a great news :)
Thanks a lot

cu

[yack]

really a great news :)
Thanks a lot

I added.

But the header pic is changed. Because I can't make the width of flash file fluid. :(

[dan35]

How about for 3.5.2 ;)

[Paprika]

Thank you very much for the share mate, I installed it and it looks great! Thanks!

How about for 3.5.2 ;)
I isntalled this theme onto my 3.5.2 board and it APPEARS just fine so far... so you might want to try it to. :nervous:

[kylek]

"The fla.zip contains three different snowing style. You can choose what you like."

Mght be a dumb question but what do we do with the .fla files, I did a quick search of the style files and didn't come across any .fla files.

[noreturn]

I have the same question. How do I install those fla files (or of course the 1 we would want to use)? Don't know what to do either. Sorry :mad:
However i also do want to thank Yack very much for all this sharing.

[Smiry Kin's]

oooo think i might use this one!
:)

[noreturn]

will some one please share with me where to and how to use any of these.fla files? Please :-)

[yack]

@kylek and @noreturn

.fla file are source files of .swf file.

The .fla files here can be edit by Macromedia Flash. For the people wanna use the snowing effect on different background image.

[matatug]

Very nice.
Thank you...

[BiReL41r]

Very nice!

[Colejo]

This is very nice. Thanks.

[C_P]

I hope there is a new one for Christmas this year... I love your skins here yack

[seangworld]

ya, um, so what exactly do we do with these fla files??? where da hell do they go???

[Shazz]

How is yack just a member in user title? He has over 89 Installs

[Foxsake]

ya, um, so what exactly do we do with these fla files??? where da hell do they go???

Im struggling to understand this too.......all i have is a normal header.
No snow, and a different pic? - still nice though but would love to know how to install the flash file, sorry im still pretty new to this.

Thanks for any advice peeps ;)

[shadowevil]

nice. can u make this for 3.6.3? :)

[jarod1981?]

Hello guys :)

Please, is possible update this great skin for vBulletin 3.6.x ?

I try for Vb 3.6.0 but I see several errors....

This Skin is perfect for Christmas...:)

Thanks and Nice Day :)

[nhoodjr]

Yes, it would be fantastic to be available for new versions!!!

[nightflyer]

in the instructions it says to uload the style folder to the root and the xml through your admin panel,,,,,i am assuming we should remove the xml from the stye folder first?
usually the xml is seperate from the folder you upload to the server or is this style developed totally different than most and it should be left as is?
thanks

figured this out,thanks

[nightflyer]

Thnx Yack, very nice, and have i nice christmas ;)

@Yack

Thanks ,,but once i do this,,all my buttons disappear,,if i remove the varible,they come back.

any idea's??

[yesfans]

VERY VERY VERY nice. Lots of work wetn in to this. GOOD! I am running it on 3.6 and it is working fine after a few tweaks.

[Drago912]

I have this installed and working on 3.6.4.....thanks for the great skin.

[Masiello]

That's impossible for me to get the perfect work at all because vb 3.6.x have different structure (and needs some buttons so it's xml file don't have inside to get them work).
I need too this great style but if anyone port it for vb 3.6.4 please?

[rebelos]

me too please

[kylek]

I got it working on a custom skin for 3.6.4, but the only thing I am stuck on is getting my logo to show, this has to be the nicest Xmas skin, used it last year and bringing it back this year.

[kylek]

Only problem I have for 3.6.4 is that when I use the
vbulletin-style-yyxmas-unfixed.xml the header does not show with the snow effect, instead the top image is in place of the header.

Anyone else working on this?
