View Full Version : Black Scheme

Hi,
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a scheme of the current vBulletin buttons (default) in a black/grey shade? ... I have checked out someone's 56K skin but all that was done was just setting every image to 'grayscale'
Some items shouldn't be changed completely to black or grey. Just anything that is purple basically (more or less) for example in the new posts icon, everything should remain as is EXCEPT for that purple border around the yellow/orange image with the papers on top.
I'd do it myself but I am just not comfortable with Photoshop. I am just an average Fireworks user at best.
Thanks!

Does my black vB style found on vBulletin.com not work?

Here's a set of buttons I designed over 2 years ago. I'm not sure whether it would fit your style and I could perform the modifications to save them correctly for your board (when I get time sometime tomorrow, Monday) if you like them and think they would suit your forum. (Preview Below)

Thank You Zach!
This is what I was looking for exactly. However, let me ask you this, how hard would it be for you to tweak it a bit further?
I was wondering if the buttons could be a little bit darker (more black basically) and to use a white or #EEEEEE matte instead of black?

I used to make the graphics with vButton Pro, but it no longer works for PS7 or CS as of SP2 :(

vButton Pro? never heard of that
but damn that sucks, back to the drawing board I guess.

The buttons can be tweaked, re-coloured to whatever you need/want it to be. I have the PSD at hand so any kind of modification will be easy to implement. I can start on these tomorrow for you and they should be finished on the same day.

Wow, that'd be awesome!
Thank you.

Here's a quick preview (below) of the slightly darker base, lighter text. Is this something like you wanted? If so, could you provide a link to your forum so I can take a look at the backgrounds to which the buttons are being applied onto so they can be saved out correctly to the exact matte colour.

Hi Shelley,
That's just great, the buttons look perfect, but can try the text being white (or even lighter/brigther) and with an Arial font? or perhaps Verdana?
And the matte is good too, I am using a #DEDFDF and #F7F7F7 colour combo for Alt1 and Alt2, so either #EEEEEE or white matte will do just fine
Thanks a lot!

edit: I think verdana looks better. That said, Your choice so if you could specify which font you want me to use I will start on this after I prepared dinner.

Let's go with Verdana since that's what I'll be using on my site. Can we try to make it bold though? and maybe all capitals?

I tried bolding the text but it overlapped the buttons so I took it off. I think I got all the titles, If by the offchance I missed any, Feel free to request them.

I'd be interested in the IM icons, if those are available. ;)

I released the IM_Icons a while ago. You can locate them by visiting this Thread. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=113699)

Got 'em, thanks. ;)

Would you mind doing that set in a red? (#CC0000) Only if it's not to much trouble.
Thanks :)
