Updated style for 3.6.8

[Kirk Y]

Ooo... creepy. Excellent - just in time too.

[Azhrialilu]

Thanks :) We've been sitting on it for a couple of months - we wanted to make sure it was just right and we didn't want to go for the typical bright orange comical type.

[cmartin]

YES! Great style; thanks. :cool:

Chris

[Klaymen TK]

Beautiful style. ;)

[Pathor]

Looks very nice, thanks! :)

[Azhrialilu]

Thanks :)

[Mдяc]

ops, so cool. bro !!
looks very nice.

[MusicMan]

Very nice! I was surprised to not see any orange, but you did a great job of creating a Halloween atmosphere. :)

[lihutk]

Style for rock,thanks so much

[Metal-R-US]

Just want to say it looks really amazing. Great style!

[Azhrialilu]

:) glad you guys like it.

MusicMan, we purposely stayed mostly away from orange as it gives quite a gimmicky look and we wanted the style to have a more subtle effect while still retaining some of the obvious imagery.

We'd done orange to death on a style before that - which we'll likely release soon :)

[NFLfbJunkie]

Very nice style Azhrialilu. Would really like to see more holiday themed styles. I'm new to the vBulletin software, which rocks by the way. Does anyone know if there are any other holiday themed styles out there?

[Azhrialilu]

We will be offering a few more seasonal/holiday themed styles soon. I'm pretty confident there are some lovely christmas ones already available here, but I'm not sure what version of vb they're for.

[yesfans]

work with 3.6.0?

[Azhrialilu]

The style was designed on 3.6.0 - but the template changes in this zip are all 3.6.2 version so I couldn't say for sure, but I imagine it will.

[yesfans]

It is working fine other then one thing. Main page, www.yesfans.com is fine, but when you click on any thread, when it loads the thing is two big I have to scroll left to right to see it all. Can this be fixed?

[yesfans]

if you click into a forum it is fine. When you go into a thread then it is two wide compared to the forum listing and main page!~

[Devil Woman]

I get the same problem, main forum index is fine but view thread you have to scroll left and right for you to see most of the page

[Total666]

WOW -- this is a great style ... Great work .. Total

[funky1]

For me it's the main forum index that looks off.

[Hoffi]

Look very creaapy. Thanks.

[ktp101]

looks great, love it! :D

[Solice]

For me it's the main forum index that looks off.

I have a similar problem,

[yesfans]

Anyone?

[Azhrialilu]

Sorry I didn't back to you guys sooner, been having a nightmare time on the homefront *rolls eyes*

Is it with the fixed width or fluid style?

If you guys can link me to the forums you're having difficulties with we will take a look, as the style works absolutely fine on our own forums.

[Azhrialilu]

In the meantime:--

the main forum page looks funny , is out of line , dont' display the cats right , yet the rest is fine :

Category forum descriptions- , most fancy- top styles will not allow the use of them as they will cause another line. With the area for the title being a set height this may cause the center to be larger and the ends which are a fixed image to center themselves on the new induced height, causing the forumhome page to lose its layout.

Known problems :
1. All forums "must" have a Category header, main title in which to list the forums under or they will not display right .
- - Our styles are of the split forum type and must have this Category header .

This can be remedied by changing code and would be a custom set up . This setup may be effected by adding new forums and categories and may or may not need a code change every time a forum is added or a layout change is needed .

2. The category Header is a must , the forums have to be arranged :
- - All Category header with only forums under it .
- - A category header with only categories under it and no forums.
- - With all of the forums or forum 'first' , then the categories at the bottom of the forum listing .
again this can be altered with a custom code that may need editing when forums or a layout change is needed .

90% of people dont' need to worry about these problems, but you need to be aware of them and the problems that it can cause .


the threads being too wide -

with the addition of the sides and my not using a smaller screen size ( 800x ) .
the code block may still be at the vB default of 640 .

this depending on the post bit your using needs to be reduced .

In the admin -cp -> styles & templates -> Style Manager : from the drop down menu in the style choose/ select -> StyleVars .

on a fixed style of 770 we have set the -> Code Block Width (pixels) to 480px . this is working .

In the meantime, we will double check everything and will update the file with the new settings shortly.

[Azhrialilu]

Please see initial post for additional xml files.

We have tried the style on a couple of sites without any issues, but have added these xml's just in case.

had issues before but reinstalled with the new files & now perfect on fluid

many thanks

[Azhrialilu]

You're welcome :)

[yesfans]

have you considered doing a Xmass holiday themed skin, maybe one that covers the T-day and Xmass Seasons? This one is pretty damn good, why not another.

[Azhrialilu]

T-day? Thanksgiving? I'm in the UK, so I'm going to guess that's what you mean :D We will be bringing out Christmas, Valentines and Easter styles :) And I imagine we could do a Thanksgiving one for next year.

[spaghie]

Looks great!
it displays nicely on the basic forum pages. would have to do some customizations for the other forum apps i'm running.

Cool. GREAT!

[Ronak]

one of the Best skins on vb database ;)

[Azhrialilu]

Thank you :) that's very kind.

Hi there, I have redownloaded the files and overwritten them but I am still getting the same problem, I have even reuploaded the actual template file into the ftp and still getting the same problem, no body else seems to be getting the same problem only me, could I be doing something wrong?

Thanks

Edit: Just re added the xml file again and everything seems fine now, hmm weird

Thanks

Mine did the same. I don't recall if I reloaded the XML another time but I cleared cookies and the like and then mine was working.

[Azhrialilu]

Most bizarre.. if any of you guys have any more problems, could you please supply a link to the site it's installed at so we can take a look :)

[yesfans]

Hey, a few buttons seem not to have been updated. The REP and REPORT buttons are diff then all the others. And can a SEND PM button be added as i use a hack that puts that button in posts.

[Azhrialilu]

Those images are already included as part of the style - the rep and report buttons are the same brown as the bar and the send pm button is the same as the rest of the button images. I've checked the zip to make sure that they are there (and they are), could you please check that the images uploaded via your ftp correctly? :)

[dt-pain]

Great theme. Thanks you can see what Ive done to the header to spice it up a bit. Thanks again...

See this thread, post 41 for instance. To me, the rep button and report buttons look diff then the offline button or the AIM button in post 42.

[Ronak]

i have a small bug :( my shoutbox is not displaying on this skin !! ??

[Devil Woman]

Ok, I thought this was sorted but it seems I was sorta right and sorta wrong, here goes lol

Some of the showthread pages in some forums looks fine and you don't have to scroll from left to right to see the whole page, however on other forums in the showthread there does seem to be a problem

So for example, In the general chit chat forum there problem is still there where I have to scroll from left to right to see the whole page, but in the spooky mansion which I have the style assigned to and is a new forum I only added yesterday is fine and I don't have to scroll from left to right to see all the content

I have cleared my cookies to see if that was the problem but it doesn't seem to have cleared it up

Thanks

[NeitherSparky]

Installed. I love it, though I'll have to wait to see what my members think, lol. We're a fan forum and I didn't modify the graphics in any way to theme the skin (as I normally do) because its just so perfect the way it is! ;)

[ToyotaDiesel]

maybe a dumb question but will this work on 3.5.x ?

[Shazz]

maybe a dumb question but will this work on 3.5.x ?
You have to click "ignore version style" and force it in yes...

[ToyotaDiesel]

THANKS. any known issues with doing such?

Its possible you could revert some templates in it, Not much more.

[Ronak]

Anyone to look into this issue ?? Shoutbox is not working on the skin :)

Which shoutbox mod are you using?

[Ronak]

Shoutbox 2.0
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097

that one:(

[Azhrialilu]

Ronak, have you made the template edits needed for the shoutbox as per the shoutbox mod.

DevilWoman, can you give me a link to your site please?

[Ronak]

What Template edits do i require to display the shoutbox ??

[Azhrialilu]

I'm afraid that's something you'll have to take up with the owner of the shoutbox modification. Usually the zip file supplies the template edits needed. If it's done automatically, a quick post asking for the template edits will normally be enough for them to be given to you :)

[kallelm]

I'm using ZT latest shoutbox on my forum and I am having no problems.

My members are already loving this style.
But the buttons in the psd files do not match the styles on the forum

[Azhrialilu]

they don't? Let me look into that as they should.

[GamBun]

I love this one & I'm using it for the Halloween season. Very nice! Smooth install for me w/ no problems so far! ;)

[Shazz]

Its getting close to halloween time :)
Ill be using this, alot of good feedback. Dosen't seem like many errors

[Azhrialilu]

I've uploaded a separate zip holding all psd's needed for the style. The ones in the Halloween style zip are a second batch of buttons for variety ;)

[Total666]

Great theme. Thanks you can see what Ive done to the header to spice it up a bit. Thanks again...
http://www.x-squad.net/x/index.php

I adjusted and add more things to this great style , A member requested a spider hanging from the tree and a black cat .. LOL ..

http://www.extremetesting.tv/forums/index.php

Like I said before , great work and thank you .. Total

[Azhrialilu]

Nice changes :)

[kallelm]

Thank you for the updated psd.

My members have had nothing but praise for this stye. I adore all the little attention to details and all the individual styles.

[Azhrialilu]

Thanks Kallelm - making sure our styles have all little details customised is something we take very seriously :)

[SteveOh_UK]

Well done Azhrialilu......and thank you....

[Azhrialilu]

You're welcome ;)

[Phooey]

Awesome. I'll definately be using this for the rest of the month!

[Ohiosweetheart]

This is SO good!

[Devil Woman]

I have managed to find the problem, it turns out it was the quote and the code tags if they was pretty big they would make this page go so you had to scroll from left to right, since I have added in some code to merge the quotes together to make it look tidier this problem has cleared up

Thanks

[Azhrialilu]

I'm glad you managed to solve it, Devil Woman :)

[olli666]

Good work :up:
:)

[XeroSolution]

Great Skin, Thanks for letting us have use of it :)

[Azhrialilu]

You're welcome :)

[pablo]

Good stuff Lee & Co. Will be showing this to my members from Friday !

[loonytune15]

Great style.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for XMAS :D

[Azhrialilu]

Then keep watching ;)

Glad you like it!

[|oR|Greg]

I tried to use this style but 1/2 the images wouldn't show... very strange. Oh well.

[Azhrialilu]

Did you upload them to the correct directory? If you still have it installed, give me a link and I'll take a look for you.

[chrisbr]

trying to used the fixed theme, but ends up all over the place:

http://www.pixel-toast.net/index.php?styleid=8

Any ideas? tried all those xml files - to no avail :(

[Azhrialilu]

That does look a bit of a mess, give me a little while to look it over :)

[chrisbr]

Thanks dude :)

[Azhrialilu]

Okay Chris, overwrite the existing style with this one - see if that fixes the problem :)

[chrisbr]

<a href="http://pixel-toast.net/index.php?styleid=10" target="_blank">http://pixel-toast.net/index.php?styleid=10</a>

still looking a tad bit screwed?

its okay on other pages mind; just screwed on the homepage...l

[Azhrialilu]

Do you have any mods installed that affect forumhome?

I don't usually link to our own site except through signatures, but in this instance, take a look at THIS (http://gfxstyles.com/f17/before-you-buy-skin-style-460/)thread - that could be the problem.

[chrisbr]

The only mods i have installed are:

Ipproarcade
vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 (Points +
Referral ID in User CP
Randomly positioned ad in between postbits in showthread

[kennethj]

has nothing to do with the mods , but the forum arrange ment -
all of your forums and headings are top levels , not a header child arrangement .

if you click you header Role Play Games
its link takes you to a nothing place to do anything .

click our header Welcome to GFXstyles
its link take you to the forums listed under it .

your arrangement is :

role play games
Role Play Games [RPG]

The Interweb
Site Support
Website Related
and more .. .

ours is

Welcome to GFXstyles
- - Announcements and information
- - Pre sales questions
- - and the rest .

55230

you need the forums under the false header - for any better name - to be child forums for a style like this to work properly .
.

[chrisbr]

okay;

the attached is my forum settings;

what would you recoment i change these, and how?

[miner]

Forum must be classified under a category so speceify each forums under an category will solve your problem...

[Azhrialilu]

Thanks miner :) that's pretty much what I meant in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1106258&postcount=86 this thread.

[NS_007]

Amazing! Though I'll need a different style next year! LOL My members are clamouring for this style full time!

Thank you!

[Azhrialilu]

:D I'm glad your members like it. I suppose with a few image changes it could be done as a normal style..... drop me a pm, given a little time we could probably change out the thread and board markers for something more "normal" :)

[loonytune15]

I will also keep this on, But being called Monster Designs, the icons are all good.

Just need to do a banner for it..

[Azhrialilu]

Well I'm sure we could amend the existing, or make a different one for you :)

[loonytune15]

What would you suggest??

You can see what I have done on my Site..

[Azhrialilu]

Style updated for 3.6.3.

[GamBun]

Thanks for the upgrade *hugs* I already used this style for the season, & the members loved it! I'll be using this next year for the Halloween as well. Though hidden from user selection for now...upgrades are complete ;) Thanks Again!!!! :)

[Total666]

Style updated for 3.6.3.

Mine still seems OK with the 3.62 version ... Should I update the great style to the 3.63 version .. Thanks

[Azhrialilu]

The 3.6.3 version - we've just ensured that all the templates are in keeping with the upgrade, so it would just be a matter of overwriting the xml. If yours works then it's totally up to you! :D

[loonytune15]

Make sure everyone checks out his site and all the different style edits for the halloween style. This style has become more that just for Halloween :D

Thanks to Santai for all his amazing work and help :D

Thanks all the same... even though only Ken got a mention ;)

I'll be posting the 3.6.4 version momentarily .. I thought I'd posted it up all ready... my bad!

[loonytune15]

My appologies, I Have only delt with Ken/Santai at GFX Styles. Thought you were on and the same. Now that I have looked at the Forum Leaders over there I see there are 2 :P

Thanks to you as well :D

Any ideas on a Christamas style yet?

[Azhrialilu]

It's okay.. I was just teasing <grin>

As for a christmas style - it's in progress as we speak. Hopefully it'll be ready in a couple of days :)

[GHoSti]

Hi!

I've tried to unzip the 3.6.4 Version but I get errors. Can't unzip it. I used rar, Windows XP unzip and 7zip. None of it will unzip the archive :(

[Azhrialilu]

very strange. I've checked the file and it appears okay. I'll upload it again, just in case though.

Reuploaded file. Let me know if you still have problems :)

[GHoSti]

thx! the old archive only had 300kb :( Now all works fine!

[Azhrialilu]

Good stuff :) Mustn't have uploaded properly the first time.

[loonytune15]

It's okay.. I was just teasing <grin>

As for a christmas style - it's in progress as we speak. Hopefully it'll be ready in a couple of days :)

Sweet news, look forward to seeing it. :D

No worries, we'll continue to update as vBulletin updates :)

[nishant]

Was an amazing template. Thanks a lot

[Azhrialilu]

You're welcome :)

Unfortunately, we've had to put a stop to the xmas style we were designing for release due to some unforeseen situations. But the other guys/gals have released some gorgeous ones anyway so its no loss :D

We WILL have a few new ones for release very soon though!

[loonytune15]

what a shame, i was looking forward to it..

[Azhrialilu]

Yes, we were very disappointed - we'd already put a lot of work into the style, but we just couldn't finish it in time due to other obligations. On the up side - we will have some more styles out very soon for all sorts of occasions ;)

[Azhrialilu]

Style updated for 3.6.7PL

[NS_007]

Thank You! :)

Awesome Mod. I just realized that it isn't using the smilies from teh gfx directory. What do I need to fix in the xml to fix that? It is using the original smilies....

[AuroraStorm]

Nice...

[Total666]

Will this Style work with 3.68 , last year my members loved this one :) Thanks for the work you designers do ..

[Azhrialilu]

Sorry for the delay, the style has now been updated for 3.6.8!

[GamBun]

No apologizing needed. Plenty in time before Halloween. ;)

Updated! :D

Thanks again! It's such a wonderful look & still my favorite holiday design! :)

[Shadow777]

very good thanks..

[GamBun]

Just wanted to also let you know that my members are just raving about this style! :D

Looks great!!. I'm not a fan of dark styles, but really like this one. Good job!

Same problem here:confused:

[Azhrialilu]

Can you link me to your sites so I can take a look please :)

Sorry for the delay in responding, I'm kinda distracted being 8 months pregnant and all that :D

[GoTTi]

it is because your codes are loading some images to another folder:

gfx_reDshadow/icons/icon1.gif

we dont have that folder. it should be gfx_Halloween not reDeshadow

[GoTTi]

to fix this problem goto:

admincp - style - halloween xs style...

do replacement variables and put gfx_Halloween in place of gfx_reDshadow and its fixed.

[GoTTi]

is there a way to alter the logo? no psd files?

[Azhrialilu]

Only the text on the logo - there should be a psd for that included in the zip.

[GoTTi]

ok ill check it out.

you should put my fix on your file and update it so its fixed for everyone.

[NS_007]

Just curious if this is going to be updated to the 3.7?
I know it's just beta still, but I have troubles waiting to test. ~_^

[Azhrialilu]

I'm so lazy :p We already have it working for 3.7 beta 5! I promise, I'll get that and the 3.6.8 versions uploaded this evening!!!

[baghdad4ever]

can you upgrade it to 3.7.3 please?

because i try to upgrade it but there is problem in editor

specially with changing color (the color popup doesnt appear)

thanks

[Chrisg20]

I would love to have this for 3.8.3 before Halloween :D
