Slick Black

[mac27]

Here is a dark style that I did. It includes a blank logo for you to add your own text to.


DEMO (http://www.themesbydesign.net/forums/index.php?styleid=102)


1. Open your ftp client to your server. Go to your forum's images folder, open it, and create a styles folder.
2. Next, upload the "SlickBlack" folder via FTP to your server, into your forum's styles folder, so that your image path is images/styles/SlickBlack/buttons, for example.
3. After you've uploaded the folder, open your admin control panel on your forum, and import the xml file, by going to Styles & Templates > Download / Upload styles > Import Style XML File.
4. Click on the Browse button, locate the slickblack-style.xml file, and double-click it so it loads in that box, then hit the Import button.



Next upload the following 3 files into your forum root directory:

bleft_066sb
bmid_066sb
bright_066sb

Again make sure that these 3 files are uploaded to your forum root folder.

I hope you enjoy this release.

CLICK INSTALL IF YOU WANT SUPPORT!!!!!!

I have added blank buttons for you to add your own text to. I have included the font I used also. Sorry no PSD but this will work with any graphics program.

WOW Chris, this is awesome! Definitely your best work, so far, imo :D

[WEBDosser]

i have to agree to does look very cool..!

[tafreeh]

looooooooks goood

[cafenetland]

Next upload the following 3 files into your forum root directory:

bleft_066sb
bmid_066sb
bright_066sb

Again make sure that these 3 files are uploaded to your forum root folder.to make those three images working, u need to create a folder named "forum" in your root and upload those images in this folder.
i did not have that folder in my forum root. so i did like that and it worked.

btw thx for the lovely skin. looks awsome.

[WFZ]

Thank you very much. Please click install and show your support.

Make sure you have the 3 images uploaded to your forum root. Seeing that your forum is located at forums with an s and not forum you will need to make a small change in the Slick Black style under the Main CSS area.

AdminCP>Styles and Templates> Style Manager>Slick Black(beside it choose Main CSS)

Scroll to the very bottom and in the Additional CSS Definitions box look in the bottom box.

Replace the entire bottom box with the following:


/* ***** Postbit Legacy layout ***** */
.pbit {
padding-left: 1px;
padding-right: 3px;
padding-top: 1px;
padding-bottom: 2px;

border-right: 1px solid #F1BC1B;

margin-bottom: 5px;
}

nice work, mac27 can I ask a vb question regarding the skin you posted?

I think you missed ^^^ or not?

[ALil'Hope]

I don't plan on using this, but it's a good looking skin!

[dapoling]

I would like to try this one but I have 3.7.1 and it will not import? since it was made with a different version 3.7.0

[mac27]

depends on the question I guess. Ask away.....

Thank you! :D

I would like to try this one but I have 3.7.1 and it will not import? since it was made with a different version 3.7.0

You can try to choose ignore version when importing and see if it works. I have not had anytime to update my forum and styles yet to 3.7.1

[Erhard]

I am a noob at VB. Very nice style!! Installed with only a few modifications to point to the /forums directory. Otherwise it works very well. One question... How do I change the text in the block 1, block 2 and block 3 areas?

Thanks!

[thunder_sti]

Great Skin. Clicked install:

Im having trouble: Skin uploaded...everything is fine but in the navbar--right side, I get a white blank, nothing showing.

Can someone give me a hand with this....

I uploaded the 3 images to the forum root and replaced the main css/additional code to the one provided above.

No change.

Anyone with any suggestions ???

Thanks Much

Thank you for the comment. Look in the forumhome template. You will find the place to make the edits there.

Please click install as you are not showing up as installed only as downloaded.

What is the domain for your forum? Is it www.yoursite.com/forum or forums?

[MaroWeb]

[mac27]

Will you update to v3.7.2?

I will do this as soon as I get some time. I will let you knwo when it has been done.

The reflections opacity is to high

Nope. It is just how I wanted it. Thanks though.

[shadow905]

mac any word on centering the navbar?

[xgcknight]

i have the same issue with the white bar in the nav area, not quite sure how to fix, i dont have it in a forum folder, it is my main site....http://xiledkings.com/index.php

[shadow905]

i have the same issue with the white bar in the nav area, not quite sure how to fix, i dont have it in a forum folder, it is my main site....http://xiledkings.com/index.php

make a folder called forum and put those few images in it then throw it in the directory with index.php

that will fix your problem

[mac27]

I will hopefully have time tomorrow night to get this for you. Sorry so long but been very busy at work.

Do as shadow said and that should get you going. Thanks shadow.

[shadow905]

Do as shadow said and that should get you going. Thanks shadow.


no sir thank you!:up:

[mac27]

OK shadow here is what you need to do to center the navbar.

Go into the slick black template and edit the Main CSS. Scroll down the the very bottom and in the Additional CSS Definitions in the bottom box look for this CSS code:

#tab
{
margin:0;
top:0;
}

and change it to this code:

#tab
{
margin:0;
top:0;
margin-left: 25%;
margin-right: 0%;
}

You can play with the margin-left and margin-right % until you get it how you want. I believe 25% for left and 0 for right should get you going good.

Good luck and I hope this works for you.

[shadow905]

mac,

thats works. BUT if i shrink the window it makes another layer of the leftovers below my normal navbar.

pm me if you want to check it out. ill give you site info

[wutthehell]

I get a white area when I center the Nav Bar on either side of the nav bar... how do I remove that or change that color to black? (I have followed the steps above but still have the white areas).

Nice looking style by the way, if I can make it work right, im sure my users will love it!

first....how did you center it?

second...try this..

that SHOULD fix your problem

[mac27]

Thanks again shadow for helping out.

I am not ignoring you but I am VERY busy with my full time job. I got your PM and I will see if I can login this week sometime and have a look to see what is wrong. Probably around Tuesday night.

[shadow905]

ok man. just let me know.

[Skuxta]

Sorry if Im bumping up a old topic or whatnot. But this is a awesome skin and it should be near the top. Well anyways I have the white navbar problem and my forum is located on http://destinedgaming.com/forum/index.php So it should work? The Main CSS box you pointed out had all the correct info and that.

Care to shed any light?

EDIT: Re-Installed it and it works like a charm now

[shadow905]

mac im still having that centering issue. any ideas?

[jboocks]

I feel like an idiot. I'm a new user and I have figured out how to change everything except buttons and images. I don't understand what it means to open my ftp agent to my server. What does that mean?

If someone could give me a step by step to do this, I would sure appreciate it.

[Magnumutz]

The catbg_mid image could use some work... it looks like an unfinished gradient... it doesn't give the web2 feeling... but more like a theme missing the cat images.

[mac27]

Is is what you are still having problems with? If so then I know of no way to fix this. It does this because the amount of buttons you have in the navbar. The only thing you could do is remove some buttons.

It turned out just like I wanted it, but thanks for the opinion.

[GBeam]

I'm still having a white space on the right of my navbar.

Don't see an answer to this but if there is then sorry lol

In Forumhome search for

<td class="tcat" style="background-image: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_mid.gif); text-align: left; width: 260px;">Block 1</td> or even Block 1 , 2, 3

Add your own :up:

[Bounce]

copy 3 image in your forum root to forum folder.....

I just installed this, I needed to add a / as my forums are in
public_html/mysite/forum

Adding the / solved the problem ;)

[raggyt]

[maxie]
