Black and Blue Style

[SmashinYoungMan]

Hello, all!

I finally decided to release a style. It is a vB 3.6.5, 951 pixels fixed width, dark blue and deep gray/black style. I developed this theme on my test installation on my PC, so unfortunately there is no live demo, but I've attached a couple of screenshots. The theme has been tested with FireFox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and Opera 9.0.

I tried to make it so customizing it is a relatively painless procedure. In the header template, I commented where you can add your own logo, 468x60 ad code, and customize the links (Link1, Link2, etc.).

Included in the zip file are the xml file, button PSDs and icons with a dark matting.

There is no theme copyright in the footer, or any links to any sites of mine. Please, though, do not redistribute or sell the theme.

I'll support it as time allows, and I'll do my best to keep it up to date with each new vB release. If you wish to hire me to do extra customization on it, such as develop a logo, change the buttons, statusicons, etc., just send me a PM.

Please remember to "Mark as Installed"! Bonus points if you decide to throw a donation my way. :p

1-12-2007:
Added the PSD for the layout to the zip file.

5-03-2007:
Added a fluid version of this style. The installation instructions are the same, except for the obvious file name differences. Additionally, the fixed version of this style has been adjusted so that you can set your logo graphic in the "Title Image" field of the style manager, instead of having to edit the header template.

9-10-2007:
Updated the .xml files for vB version 3.6.8.

Installation Instructions:

1. Unzip the "blackandblue_fixed-style.zip" file.
2. Upload the two folders, "icons" and "blackandblue" in the image directory to your forum's image directory.
3. In your admincp, click "Download/Upload Styles" under "Styles and Templates".
4. In the "Import Style XML File" section, browse for the file, "bb-fixed-style.xml" included in the zip file and click the "Import" button, leaving the rest of the options at their defaults.

Enjoy!

very nice style installed

[SgtTechHead]

Excellent! I've been keeping my eye open to see if you'd release some of your work. Will install soon!

[Masked Crusader]

Can we get a PSD file for the header images or for the entire layout if possible?

Thanks.

Replace that bit of code with this:

<td rowspan="2" width="399" height="134" align="center" style="background: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_1.jpg);"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td width="37" height="134" rowspan="2" style="background: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_2.jpg);"></td>
<td width="484" height="111" align="center" style="background: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_3.jpg);">

That will allow you set to set the logo in the Title Image field in the style manager.

Installed on my board (www.houston-dsm.org/forums) and it looks/works great in IE6 and IE7... but Firefox users are having trouble with the navbar.

Screenshot from a FF user is attached... any ideas? :)

Edited to add: The user who took the screenshot is on FF 1.5. I realize the style was tested in 2.0. Is there a fix so this will work in FF 1.5, or do I get to tell my user his browser is outdated and he's SOL?

Edit 2: I also have a FF 2.0 user telling me it's doing the same thing for him.

[Sooner95]

I like it alot. Thx!

[Sooner95]

I have this running on my site now, if anyone wants another site to compare.

What font style is that you used on the buttons?

That's odd. Do you have any plugins installed which affect navbar functionality?

Arial Black. :)

[James92TSi]

That's odd. Do you have any plugins installed which affect navbar functionality?

I have iTrader, vB Banner Rotator (by frapegliko), and your style installed. That's it as far as mods go. I don't believe any of those should affect the navbar. vB 3.6.4

In fact, users are telling me that with this as my board's default style, there is no way to log in when the page is viewed in Firefox.... see below:

I have been trying to log onto the board for several days, and it shows the top banner, and then says Archives.

It does not show me anyplace to log in, or view the forum. I thought the board was down, but just now I tried opening the site in IE, and it works.

Can the page just not be viewed in Firefox?

This is what I see when I go to this page in Firefox.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/01/4.jpg

(after one of the other users suggested that he change to the standard vB style to log in):

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/01/5.jpg

[Black Majik]

here is another users screen shot from that forum. This user is on Firefox 2.0

[SmashinYoungMan]

Is this the banner rotator you have installed? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129418

If so, did you add the $GLOBALS[bannerads] bit to the style's header or footer? If not, that might be the cause.

[Gweedo]

I installed this yesterday and it is great. The only thing I have noticed is that smilies have a white halo around them because of the dark background color. Any idea on a work around for that? Is there a smilie set for dark colors with a transparent background instead of white?

[SmashinYoungMan]

I didn't include any smilies because most folks use smilies of their own choosing anyway. There are tons of free smilies to be found on the web, though, as well as free smiley sets here.

[akulion]

wow very beautiful

Thank you so much!

[James92TSi]

Is this the banner rotator you have installed? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129418

If so, did you add the $GLOBALS[bannerads] bit to the style's header or footer? If not, that might be the cause.Yup, I added $GLOBALS[bannerads] in place of the "sample ad" banner that comes with the style.

I think this was my screw-up. When I first installed the template, I wanted to rem-out the "Link 1 - Link 2 - Link 3 - Link 4" stuff, since I didn't have any links to throw in at that time.

See code below. I added the tag in green, but forgot the tag in red. It worked correctly in IE and I didn't give it a second thought at the time. That'll teach me to install mods at 2am. :o


<!-- LINKS -->
<!-- REM OUT JEM 01/13/07
<a href="/">Link1</a> - <a href="/">Link2</a> - <a href="/">Link3</a> - <a href="/">Link4</a>
-->
<!-- /LINKS -->


That is the only difference I can think of between the default style and this one. The default style also has the $GLOBALS[bannerads] on it, but the default style works correctly.

I am betting MSIE would read the (incorrectly modded) HTML differently than FF. FF appears to be reading it as "remark tag is still open". That would certainly mess with the navbar.

Thanks for the help, I will let you know if that code change (adding the close-remark tag) doesn't fix the problem. I'm betting it will fix it.

EDITED TO ADD: Confirmed with a FF 1.5 user. The fix worked. Yay! :)

Thanks for the help - and for the awesome looking style.

Excellent work.. Thank you.. What do I need to do to put a picture on the top left intead of the text. Thanks

[damlost]

looks nice thanks but i notice now i have a white box with a X inside of it I guess this is called buttons search, quick links. How can i currect this

In this bit of code in the header template:

<a name="top"></a>
<table width="951" height="134" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" width="399" height="134" align="center" style="background: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_1.jpg);"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">Your Logo</a></td>

<td width="484" height="111" align="center" style="background: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_3.jpg);">

Replace the text "Your Logo" with the link to the image you want to use. Alternately, you can follow the instructions in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1157015&postcount=7).

looks nice thanks but i notice now i have a white box with a X inside of it I guess this is called buttons search, quick links. How can i currect this
Did you upload the "buttons" folder in the "blackandblue" directory? If so, double-check to make sure you uploaded it to the proper location per the installation instructions.

[Thai3g_Eclipse]

Thank you, this is one of the best looking skins I've seen in a long time. Everything went smooth, but I am having minor problems when the postbit is set to legacy...the blue borders stopped wrapping after the first post. Is there a fix for this? Thank you, and keep up the excellent work.

I got most of this working, I uploaded everything according to the instructions, however I am not getting the title images (header_1.jpg, etc..) to display. I applied the changes you have listed above and I understand how to get the logo in there, but any idea why the header images are not showing up?

OK.. Update.. It looks like it is working on the forums section however it is not working on the vBadvanced side of things... looking into it now, but any suggestions?

[MisfitGeek]

OKay.. figured it out.. I just had to copy the images, etc.. to the root of the domain and it picked it up with the dynamic pathing in the script.

All is working well now... great looking style by the way!

[DaiTengu]

I'm doing a conversion from SMF to vB finally, and I wandered over here looking for a good style for vB. The second thread I clicked on happened to be this one, and It's absolutely perfect.

Thanks for this! :)

Love this style. One quick question: how do I edit the "Link1 Link2 Link3 Link4" text? I've searched around for it, but I cant seem to pin it down.

Any help?

[SnoopsWarner]

Oh, wait, I read the first post and figured it out. Stupid me :)

i really like fluid styles... but this one stands out.. it is really nice.... installed and will feature as the default theme

[guile09]

Installed on ArcadeForum (http://www.arcadeforum.com) -- I finally decided to go for a new look and this caught my eye. I'll probably do a little customization, but it is a very nice skin. :up:

[Astarias]

Can someone tell me how to make this span the width of my browser. I love the skin its just a bit too narrow for me.

[Astarias]

Anybody?

[ki adi mundi]

Well, I just installed it- no problems (knocks on wood)! We love this skin- Thank you! I had to change the StatusIcons, to better suit my application, though.

http://www.therogueforums.com/imagehosting/Ki%20Adi%20Mundi/screenshotblackandblue.jpg

This is a very smooth, very clean skin- I highly recommend it. Any chance of a red version of this?

[Darkus]

Possible full width version at all? :)

[therogueforums]

Any word on an update?

[LeatherNeck]

Possible full width version at all? :)

Same here :) Have got it installed, but would love to see a fluid version :D

[Campbell]

..and frankly I'd pay you for a fluid version as I have some users with vision problems that are requesting a version optimized for 800x600.

Thanks,

[SmashinYoungMan]

Hello, all.

Sorry for the delay in replying, but there have been health problems in my family that have kept me away from design work and the vB community.

This skin requires no updating to be 3.6.5 compatible, so you can safely upgrade from 3.6.4 without issue or needing to update any templates if you already have it installed. I updated the zip file with a new xml so folks installing this for the first time on a 3.6.5 forum won't have to fool with clicking "Ignore Style Version".

As a catch-all answer to creating different width templates, that isn't something I can do just now. Due to being out of action for an extended period, I need to dedicate my time in the following days and weeks to paid work. If you have a paid job you're interested in having me take on, just PM me.

Once I get caught up, I'll try and do a better job of keeping this particular skin updated and taking on requests as time allows.

[DJ Matt4684]

Can anyone tell me how to get an even border on top and take the 2 boxes out? If that makes sense...

[vbpenguin]

I have the Mk Portal CMS system that integrates with Vbulletin. Would I be allowed to use this style for the Mk Portal CMS part of my site because it lets you use the forum skin for the portal section of the site (I would still have any copyrights you may have on the portal section of my site)?
---
I am keeping this for others if they want to do something like that, but I am no longer using a CMS for my site. I am only using Vbulletin.

[bluesoul]

Thanks for this release, I spent a LONG time looking for a new skin and yours stood head and shoulders above the rest. It also works very well with vbAdvanced right out of the box.

If anyone else is interested in a fluid version shoot me a PM so we can talk about pooling some money for such a release.

[HeLLCiTo]

Thanks for this style.

How can i , change width of the main table ??, i put 100% in style opcions and it don´t change

[gabrielt]

Awesome. Installed.

[Mecho]

i want when users move their pointers on the catagories name , then name's color change to another color .

[princeedward]

gret job bro.... ;)

[Majest]

Great looking skin, I now have it installed on my site. I do have a question though, how can I have it so the post box is the same as the skin instead of the default grey looking one?

The grey just looks out of place.

Sorry, all. The family illness situation took a turn for the worse, with a car accident thrown in for good measure. When it rains, it pours...or so they say. Hopefully it will be clear skies for a good long while now.

Anyhoo, I see a lot of demand for a fluid width version of this theme, and I'll try and accommodate y'all by the end of the coming week. Keep checking back.

Installed its work, thank you very much.

To the delay of your work for the version full.

It is a great work.

[CowboyJeffR]

Wonderful skin....

I do have one issue. When VBPager messages arrive, it will show 1 in you inbox, but you can't get to it. When you switch back to the default VB style, you get the popup message.

I've checked all the templates and reimported the product-pager.xml to no avail.

Any assitance will be appreciated.

[Malach]

I'm still trying to figure out how to get an actual image on the front page of vbAdvanced instead of just an image path that links back to the main page.

It's twerking my mind just a bit.


Never mind....I got it figured out.

Here's another vote for a fluid version. I'd be happy to make a donation for one if it were to come available :)

[SmashinYoungMan]

Okay, I've added a fluid version of this style. I tested it in all the major browsers, with no apparent issues. If you folks run across any problems with the new version, just post them here.

OK, so if I installed this prior to May 3rd and have made add-ons and all that good stuff... BUT I want to change it what are my options? Is anything going to change? Will I have to re-do all of my add-ons and that good stuff?

My biggest concern is changing the width of my whole forum.

Any template modifications you've done will need to be redone, yes. Plugins that don't require any template modifications will be fine.

I'll try and get this updated for 3.6.7 within the next day or two. Right now, I'm trying to get my clients' sites updated, as well as my own forum.

thanks smashinyoungman :)

[SmashinYoungMan]

I just checked both the fixed and fluid versions, and none of the customized templates require a revert for the newest version of vB, so you can go ahead and upgrade your forum without worries if you already have the theme installed. I will update the XML files in the zips for future users.

After my upgrade, I noticed that the image navbits_finallink.gif was a red X. I did some research and noticed that the navbar template was changed in the new version to look for an image called navbits_finallink_ltr.gif. Small change but it's enough to break the image. Instead of modifing the template I just renamed the old image to navbits_finallink_ltr.gif.

SmashinYoungMan, you may want to fix this in your navbar template for future downloaders.

[TheBlackPoet]

okay... i love both of them.. and now... the fluid will be featured this evening... good job!!

[shredded]

First, let me say... Awesome style... Me like...

I have a question that involves vBulletin, PhotoPost and your template... Well, all templates for that matter... I have vBulletin 3.6.7 and PhotoPost 5.62. I went through all the steps to integrate PhotoPost within vBulletin and so far, so good. I then stepped through installing your style as per the directions... All is well in Shreddedville except for a couple of things...

The title image which is defined in vBulletin as 'images/shredded_logo/SHREDDEDonline3.gif' shows as a red 'X' (basically, image not found) when over in the integrated PhotoPost. Obviously, there is a problem with the pathing because the two entities reside in different subs. /forum/ and /photopost/ under the domain.

The title image directions say 'relative path under forum' which, to me, makes it unable to be found when over in the gallery. As I type this, I realize, this is not really an issue with the style... But, if you may have any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Scotty

[Craig James]

I love everything about it, & I also run th Admin CP. My problem is a minor one. With the style installed, I lose my link to my Arcade in my Navbar. If I uninstall the style, it pops right back in the navbar again. That, plus the fact that link doesn't disappear if I use any of my other styles, hints to me tha coud be the problem

[GateKeper]

If I understand correctly to get the full width, I need to use the fluid style, I believe I am using the fixed one at the moment, it's bee a while, since I installed this theme, and we love it, its used as our default, but really do want to get it full width.

if I may I will post the url to the site, if your not registered it's OK it will still show you the narrow of the theme

www.ftaview.com

do I just upload the fluid zipped file, upload to the server and import the new xml file

I really don't want to mess up the board, so I will wait for some clarification to this

we are a young board and not a lot of experience in making changes, with out messing up,,,LOL

thanks for a great theme, and the anticipated help on this matter.

in the attached screen shot you will notice it's not full width, but the grey on either side

[free2saute]

i love this style too. i want to reinstall it. i have a slight problem though. the other guy who works on my site with me added this style and overwrote the 'default style' and now on every other style theres parts of this style. all the other styles have features inherited from the default (overwritten) style. ive tried uploading the default VB style to no avail. can you offer some insight on how to replace the default VB style essentially taking it back to VB Deault Style so that we can upload this as an optional style? thanks in advance for any help.

[pbmansion]

Does anybody know if there is a style layed out like this but based around red?

[blackbeast99]

Installed, and working on a few settings that just seem a little off. I love this, this was perfect for what I needed. Thank you! Great Job!

[rockjeep44]

Just wondering if this style is going to be updated to the 3.6.8 release? Thanks

[www.ir-gsm.ir]

can you use right to left language

[rockjeep44]

So, I'm guessing this style is dead?

[Correadde]

I get an X in the header how can i remove that?

[PJAmerica]

Hello, Any chance of this being updated for 3.6.8? I would be more than happy to even pay for it.

[SmashinYoungMan]

Sorry, folks, a car accident knocked me out of commission. I'll see about getting this style updated for 3.6.8 as soon as I can.

[rockjeep44]

Sorry to hear that man, hope you are ok. Great to hear that you are still supporting the style. It's one of the best here! Let us know when you get it done.

[manub]

Nice Style! Installed :up:

there's a way to use this within vBadvanced CMPS too?

Yes there is. I use it fine with this style.

You can change the logo by editing the "Title Image" field in the Style Manager.

I don't know that I'll have time to make different colored versions of this in the near future. I desperately need to make up lost work time. Perhaps someone else can give you a hand with this.

Anyhoo, I'll try and get this updated for 3.6.8 sometime tomorrow. I upgraded and updated Eyedolize today, so the template updates I need to make are fresh in my mind.

In the header template, the code for the links is placed between the <!-- LINKS --><!-- /LINKS --> comment.

PS. is possibile to change the color of the QR box?
You mean the text field itself? If so, this can be done by modifying the CSS for the "Input Fields" section in the Style Manager. You would also want to change the CSS for the "WYSIWYG Editor" section just above it to match.

[KURTZ]

thx dude, just updated :)

however about the QR: i mean the gray box, i think that this style needs a "dark" box not this "flashin" gray ...

[SmashinYoungMan]

Ah, okay. You mean the surrounding panel, which contains the various controls, I believe. You can change this at the bottom of the Style Manager in the "Text Editor Control Styles" field. If you go too dark with it, however, you'll need to update the editor graphics so they'll be legible against a dark background, and to eliminate the jaggies that will inevitably appear.

Hi Im new to all this, call me brain dead, is there a step by step on how to ad a logo banner on this?

You edited the header template directly, correct? You have two <img> tags contained within the <a> tag, where there should only be one.

[Sparkie_in_vic]

Yeah i edited the header template directly, but dont have a clue what you mean about the second part....

Smashin, news about the tiny icons? :)

[marcopolo]

Very nice styles, using both of them for my site.

How do you remove the 4 links completely, I've tried removing the code but this messes up the graphics.

I'm also having a problem when I create a new thread, return to the homepage and it does not display until I hit refresh (IE and Firefox). I've tried this with the default vb style and don't experience the same problem.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Just open up your style manager and comment out the html in the 'LINKS' section located in the header section. Easy.

[gtidoug]

A question of my own now.

I'm having the same problem I noticed others were having with the 'Reload this page' broken img link next to the nav bar. The error goes away when I load the default template which makes me think its something missing in this template. Correct? I aimlessly tried copying the navbits_finallink_ltr.gif to the misc folder for this template but to no avail. Any ideas?

[midwestce]

Right click on the picture/link and go to properties, it will show you where it's trying to look for the .gif file. I uploaded it there and it worked fine.

[Grafix Ink.]

i am having a problem where some members are unable to type in the msg portion of new ms when they are using IE7

anyone else find this a problem?

[ZakRhino]

Hi I just downloaded and install the blackandblue_fluid-style version but if you got my site as you can see --> http://beta.furry-muscle.org/forums/?styleid=5 If you look on the far right it looks like there a missing something, I uploaded all the files to where they should go. The bottom looks like added with the black lines coming from no where. Should it look like that or I'm I missing something? :confused::confused::confused:

[mcasteel]

I have my forum banner image in the upper left corner. I have made several different ones and I'd like to make it so it rotates randomly when a user refreshes the page. Does anyone know how to do this? I know there is a mod to add banner rotation to the top of individual forum sections, but I'm not sure how to do it for the forum header image. Thanks.

Would you mind copy/pasting the section of code then? I tried to comment them out but it didn't work for me. I still got the wonky graphics issue.

[dragula]

Hello All,
I installed this style recently and it was PERFECT for the theme of my site! Good job designing this! I intend to contribute once the site starts to make a little $$. :)

I just changed my image in the right side header and now I have a problem in the background. The "bars" between each banner are no longer lined up. All that I did was change my image from one with sharp corners to the one that has rounded corners as you can see in the link below. Now the background is screwed up. I don't know if I inadvertently moved something or what? :confused:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there anyway to get this working on a 3.6.4 forum or am I just S.O.L. unless I upgrade to 3.6.8?

Maybe there's another version somewhere but I did look. I really like these colors and setup.

This is the best skin out there IMO. WOW...so blown away at how clean it looks.

I'm looking to go with a green theme and wondered the same, if anyone could/would port this to green and what something like that might run?

Thanks for the sweet theme...if there are no takers I might just run it in blue I like it so much. :)

Thanks,
Mike

Runs on 3.7 just fine, all you need to keep in mind is to modify the proper templates (AKA, the footer template). Not all that much work involved in reapplying the edits for this style.

i have one problem .. when i place an banner in header (468 * 80) it will shows the banner but not Fit at the box .

look at the Attachment .

Any idea ?

That area is designed for 468x60 [Standard Banner] not 468 x 80.

[Mecho]

yea yea i know even when i tried 468*80 there is an empty line above the banner that makes the banner not fit at the box ! no EXACT Center i mean .

Hello,

I've been using this style for a while on 3.6.x. Any plans to migrate it to 3.7.x? There are some significant changes like the addition of the security token and banner locations.

Cheers,
