Winter Snowfall (Holiday Christmas) Style

[ChU v2]

Winter Snowfall was designed for the holiday season to catch that cold "I want a hot chocolate" feeling. :D The color scheme is dark blue and green.

VERY nice! Simple, yet elegant, just the way I like 'em. :)

[PoetJA-1975]

Very nice! Question: how did you get the snow on the header? Is that via .swf file?
I agree with PEGGY - It's quite elegant style = Thanx for sharing ;)

No, I remembered it from the days of MySpace custom layouts and all it is is html marquee. Very simple to do.

[PoetJA-1975]

It's quite nice! Wanna share the html code?
Send me a PM and I will definitely appreciate it! :)

Go to the navbar template and remove this code (to remove ALL buttons):


<!-- Custom Buttons -->
<center>
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/register.gif" height="23" width="100" border="0"></a></td>
</if>

<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">

</if>

<!-- /Custom Buttons -->

Very nice. I like it. and thanks

[RaceJunkie]

Can you add the image used without the star for the center links. Fourm, User Cp, New Posts..?

[ChU v2]

Sometimes vBa is weird and looks for the images in /ROOT/images/SKIN instead of /forum/images/SKIN

So I would upload the images to /ROOT/images/SKIN and the images should appear.


2)Can I put the logo of my forum at the right (winter snowfall).

If yes,how?

Thanks in advance! :)


Edit the Winter_logo PSD in photoshop save as winter_logo.gif and upload to the misc folder.

[ChU v2]

Yes, the images for the navbar buttons are included in the PSD folder. You can edit them to whatever you want. You would have to go into your navbar template at the top and change the code accordingly. It's not hard just edit the image paths.

Yea I know but the images that are included have a star either to the left,right or center. I need the one without the star like the center links are.

[RaceJunkie]

Is it me or do the boxes go outside the white background when replying?

Attached are more images to use for links, I change the font to a cleaner one and added a thanks button.

I cannot find anywhere /ROOT/images/SKIN only /forum/images/SKIN

Is any other think that I can do?

Thanks

IF you are using vb Advanced you will need to put the full url to the images.

Go to your style and click All options.
For Button Images Folder I have
http://www.localracechat.com/forums/images/winter/buttons

You will need to do this with all the links even even Background,Category Strips,etc..

Body = #E1E1E2 url(http://www.localracechat.com/forums/images/winter/misc/body.gif) repeat

Here is my site where I have set this style up.

where you forum folder is, create a folder called images and copy the winter folder in there. Or you can edit all the template manually like RaceJunkie said.

[Chance4Today]

Thanks I think it is installed LOL

[Lynne]

I installed this on my site and my users really like it! Thank you so much for making it and sharing it.

[ChU v2]

Glad to hear it, thanks.

a w e s o m e! :B

[leonidirina44]

Great! Thank you, was looking for some thing like this style!

[ickie]

Thank you, I edited top pic so it all blends together.

what I like about it is, "it is not offensive to non Christians" (wait till Xmas day, lol, I will decorate the trees and Santa's slay will zoom across the header, lol)

Thanks again

Wasn't intentional at all, but hey whatever works

Thanks

Open the header template and find this:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="/forum"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/forum.gif" height="23" width="100" border="0"></a></td>
</if>


change the address in the link, where it says "/forum", to the address for your forums.

[dismas]

Ditto. I was looking for a style that had more to do with winter than with Christmas. I was surprised at how few of them I found. Most of them have at the very least a decorated Christmas tree.

[Mellymonster]

this is making my forums to go to far out of the white box
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/12/22.png

why? what can I do to fix this?

[Outbackmark]

Great style, thanks, installed on 3.6.12 with VBA and all good!!
