Hey,

I have been looking for something for my vB website and can't find anything that I like. I have looked around on many different websites.

I decided I want to make my own style for my vB website. For someone who has never made a style for vB before, is there a template or a list that tells me all of the stuff I would need to modify to get a style working?

I know that I will need to draw my buttons, and any gradients I want in photoshop, etc. But I know that there is a lot of stuff in vB ACP that would need to be modified as well. Setting the CSS. If I'm not changing and layout of vB from the original, just colors, buttons, and text. I shouldn't need to modify and templates I don't think.

It would be nice to have a list of stuff that I need to modify so I make sure I don't miss anything, and so I know what I'm getting into before I start. I could check things off the list as I go.

Explains what does what. In VB one change can cover a lot of ground. A little experimenting would be best in my book. At my place that's what I did. Traumatic Tinkering is still a work in progress but it's the result of, " Hmm Lets see what this does." And it's FF friendly.
Take your time and have fun with it.

Well I have a software company and I would like a programming style style. I've been looking for a long time and I can't find anything that works.
