Live Demo: [URL Removed]

This style / website is one of my personal projects, i will be heavily / continuously modifying my site / style and adding many more customizations.. So the style demo / reference may differ from the screenshot shown above.

Download: See Attachments.

Enjoy Guys

[Moderator's note- I have removed dead images and links no longer working.]

[LoneWolf71]

[fluidswork]

Hurry up .... this is awesome design .................

[Special Pages]

Very nice! Thank you very much! :D

[CMSTemplateZ]

Welcome guys, hopefully you get some use out of this one, i am really happy with the way it's turned out.

Yes you can do it this but keep in mind if you do that it changes it for every style you have installed on your site.

[durdan1]

I like your design. I made one myself with similar background. http://raging-angels.com/forum.php

[nsdqmaester]

May be a dumb question but do you plan on making this for VB3? I havent upgraded to 4 as I dont like the looks of 4 but love this theme

[fishinstud]

Yes you can do it this but keep in mind if you do that it changes it for every style you have installed on your site.
Thanks for the warning. I still did mess this up and apply it to everybody's profile at first. I had to go back in and setup a color scheme for the multithemes. I took out the image backgrounds and used colors for every option. This is exactly what I was looking for thanks.

[CharlieDelta]

Darren very nice work! I really like it.

One question, is it possible to have the "new thread" stand out a little more. At first glance it is hard to see that it is bold.

Looks great on our site.

[Natai]

Nice work, thanks.
Any chance we'll see an update with the color scheme currently on your site?
I like it much better than all the blue.

[CMSTemplateZ]

Darren very nice work! I really like it.

One question, is it possible to have the "new thread" stand out a little more. At first glance it is hard to see that it is bold.

You can use the stylevars to change the colors of this:

STYLEVARS / COMMON / CONTROL_CONTENT_BACKGROUND.

Hope that helps.

Regards, Darren

[CharlieDelta]

Thank you Darren.

[Strovo]

awesome men, it really is extraordinary.

[CharlieDelta]

Hey Darren I am using the Tab Add System Mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233629) and it is messing up the alignment of the images on the navbar.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hmmm you may need to edit the additional css and remove those tab arrows, not sure why it's doing that and as i am not using any extra tab systems i can't see a live version of this.. pm me your url and i will see what i can do with firebug and if i cn fix it i will provide you with the required css code to add.

[CharlieDelta]

Thanks Darren

[CharlieDelta]

Excellent support! Great work! What more can I say!?!

[UncleGrundle]

Very nice design and thank you very much for sharing it.

I see that you shut down skinden.net, very sorry to hear about that. I am sure that licensed users such as myself would be more then happy to send you a donation for your excellent designs. There is a shortage of VB4 gaming skins so please continue with the excellent work that you are doing!

Ok, well I have a couple of questions.

1. How can I remove FaceBook and Twitter from appearing on this skin?

2. Do you have a logo.psd that you are willing to share?

Once again thank you for your awesome work.

[dawges]

Hi, is there any way to get this to work with 4.08? I have no plans to upgrade. thanks.

I would like an answer to number 1 also. I have no need for twitter and facebook.

[CMSTemplateZ]

How can I remove FaceBook and Twitter from appearing on this skin?

the navbar template holds this code.. search in there for "social-top" or "twitter" and remove the code.. about 4-5 lines of code from memory, sorry not able to access my vb install atm.

Cheers for your kind words, quite sad to have to let SkinDen go but really we really can not support unlicensed users on the scale that was occurring... Currently setting up a new "Premium Styles Business" ExpertPixels.com so keep an eye out we will have some new designs in the coming weeks, holding out for 4.1.3 as there seems to be some decent changes in the upcoming release.

[westy543]

For some reason I can not get this to work with my forum, im using vb4 and all the images wont come up, I have loaded other styles and they work fine and im doing what the instructions tell me so it can't be that either.

Edit: All good got it too work.

Although you can't see the text on the profile pages.

[xtremegamers]

How did you fix it ?

[xtremegamers]

How did you fix it westy???

[westy543]

How did you fix it westy???

What I had to do was take the bf3 folder out of the images folder and then zip it to desktop and then load it into images on my ftp.

I had to play around with it a fair bit, got it to work finally, although their are a few issues, words in peoples profiles wont show up cause the writing is black and wallpaper is dark, also in some areas wording goes missing because of the background.

The theme looks and works fantastic though.

[tele955848]

4.0.6 Please :)

[ckelley]

http://stylevars.com/forum.html may help you ;)

Nope, no help at all.

[ckelley]

that is a bug in vbulletin...use the customize my profile...edit ur page so u can see the text and then save as site default.

I may be missing something here, I cannot find the option to edit colors in my profile and I am trying to accomplish the same thing. I would like to change the background color for the blocks/tabs so that the icons and text can be read and am having zero luck doing so.

Also, if anyone can help me with this, we still would like to change the "3" forum section icons and all corresponding icons to something more general, I know where they are located in the BF3 folder, but I cannot find a general set to replace them with.

Any help at all with these questions would be greatly appreciated.

4.1.3 support please!!!

Styles - Battlefield3 - edit templates - CSS Templates - additional.css

Find these references - .navtabs li a.navtab - .navtabs li.selected a.navtab - .navtabs li a.navtab:hover

Remove all references to - background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-arrow.png) repeat top left transparent;

[Nightcop]

Can someone help me I cant find user settings , so I can change my signature it seems to have disappeared when I have used this theme.

What you need to do first is go to the profile customization through the links attached to your username in the top right hand corner of the browser window. When you get there play with the colors for text and find the one that is either transparent of grey or whatever and change it to white. You should see the text in the tabs and links etc show up in your profile at that point. Once you have the changes you need and it looks good to you, go ahead and set that as the forum default so that other members are able to view them as well.

Then you should be able to find the settings you were looking for.

HI bro you can uplod the new version 4.1.5

You can try this on 4.1.5 by ticking the option when uploading:

Ignore Style Version Use style file even if it was created by a different version of vBulletin?

Set to Yes

[owning_y0u]

I like your design. I made one myself with similar background. http://raging-angels.com/forum.php

if i may advice, remove your background repeat ;-)

[TFGAMERS]

That doesn't work, tried installing it on our forum which is 4.1.5 and it isn't compatible :( shame as it's a nice skin

[LGKeiz]

Hey, can you upload your latest work Template? I love your forum :D

[otimmayo]

You can try this on 4.1.5 by ticking the option when uploading:

Not sure if this is allowed but worked for me. Go into the XML file and change version at top to 4.1.(what ever version your running)

[Termure]

can i get it to work on 4.0.3 ? the theme is awsome!

[creppello]

Update to 4.1.2. I have it working on 4.1.2 but couldnt get it to work past that. Also i have the Battlefield 3 countdown running. Check it out www.team-kill.com

[Termure]

yeah nice, where can i find a battlefield series vb 4.0.x style ? from 1942 untill bf3 :)

[creppello]

You can allways change the bf3-bg jpeg image to whatever theme you want.

[Vick98]

I just want to make sure this style is supported for the latest vB version?

[TheLastSuperman]

I just want to make sure this style is supported for the latest vB version?

From what I've read, no. You may however be able to import then upload the new missing images and maybe just maybe revert a template or two and get it to work.

[cspili]

The template isn't compatible to vB 4.1.8, but the necessary changes are minimal. The only things needed to change are the css files for colors and such and the editor issue, for which there is already provided a solution in previous replies.

The changes required are minimal and take approximately 1-2h work from your end. All in all, it's not a bad template, but we would like to see the author upgrade it to the current release of vB.

[maxxamillion]

could you please make this for version 4.1.8

[HHelp1]

Any one PLEASE make for 4.1.7 PLEASE?

[DeMiNe0]

I Second That.

I'm about to actually use this theme as a base for a Star Wars Theme for my guild website. If I get all the bugs out, I'll post it.

I have installed this theme & have vBulletin 4.1.10 installed. I have a problem with the formatting on the forums page. As you can see from this link http://www.vg-clan.co.uk/forum.php. It looks the column widths are too wide & therefore unable to fit.

Anyone have any idea what I need to tweak to get it to fit?

It fit fine before I upgraded.

Thanks in advance!!

I found the answer!!

If you edit additional.css template within the style with these entries, it fixes it!

.forumbit_post .forumstats, .forumbit_post .forumstats_2 {width:12%;}

.forumbit_post .foruminfo {width:57%;}
