Not the most original name, but it's not the worst theme you've ever seen

The only images included in this one are the post buttons. The PSD to the banner is in the "images/custom" folder.

Support is offered to those who install it. pre-install questions/Comments are open to all. :)

Step 4: Upload the "bluedarkness" directory to your images folder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there is no folder called "bluedarkness" to upload to image folder.
sorry have i missed something here?
i would use the image folder but already have a folder in my images folder called images.

I apologize, this is my first mod submission and I'm still getting things together.

Download the new "bz.zip" I updated it to match the instructions.

When uploading to the Style Manager, should I have it set to 'Create New Style', or 'Merge' into another style?

This is one of the first few styles I've tried to install, and it turned out the same as the other two, which is not right. The formatting ends up totally different than the board usually looks.

I dig the colors and would like to get them to work. I'm totally new, so I'm certain the mistake is on my end.

Here's a couple of screenshots. The first is how the BD style looks loaded up, and the second is how the board usually looks.

Did you upload the image directory? Upload the whole file "bluedarkness" into your images/ directory.

i imported the xml and the forum is all shifted to the right but the header and footer is srill in place

Can you please provide a screenshot? That's odd.


AndyA: Go to Style Manager -> Blue Darkness -> Main Table Width (pixels or percentage) -> And add whatever you want the width to be.

No problem!

ok i found the mistake you did.

now no need to edit the navbar.

i found the solution!

just edit the header template! by this:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<div align="center" id="ex_border">
<table class="header_rpt" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<!-- /logo -->

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<table class="menu" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="left" style="border-top-width:0px">

Yes, I found it odd how it worked for you and I but not anyone else.

I would update the XML file if I was you jaycob, it has the fix to the problem in it. Maybe you aren't seeing it, but your members are. :(

Did you upload the image directory? Upload the whole file "bluedarkness" into your images/ directory.

The whole FILE, or FOLDER?

I uploaded the BD folder into the images/misc folder. Should I have uploaded only the contents of the bd folder into the images/misc folder, instead of the folder itself? Right now, it still looks the same as the previous screenshot that I provided.

Again, this is an awesome style, and I'm half retarded and totally new, so I guarantee the problem is on my end. I only need to be told once or twice, and when it clicks, it clicks. It just hasn't clicked for me yet.:D

I will be forever grateful to whomever can walk the noob through this.

I'm going to go ahead and thank MR. BOSS anyways, because he asked for it and seems to have helped the less new out! You rock!

No, the folder into the images directory.

The path to the directory would be: forums/images/bluedarkness

Don't worry, I'm new too. xD

The path to the directory would be: forums/images/bluedarkness
That's what I did. It's still not appearing correctly.
Here's a link (http://www.audioandanarchy.com/index.php) to the board. Scroll down to the style selection box and choose something other than the Default. You'll see what I mean. Every other style formats incorrectly.

the url is http://www.audioandanarchy.com/ if anyone would rather type it in.

I appreciate the help.
Pandemix
11-29-2007, 08:52 PM
Check in your Style Options to see if the image path is correct.

Ex:
images/bluedarkness/buttons
images/bluedarkness/statusicon

If they are like that then you need to check again that /bluedarkness/ is in the images/ directory.
