looks promissing:-)

[stefano9lli]

Released beta =)

[skytearz]

looking good, The only other issue I see right away is when you sticky a topic. It turns a bright white on the forums.

Is there a way to make it the same color as attachment topics or similar.

I also renamed the vbulletin-style.xml to s9_Nova.xml and it worked fine.

[SuperTaz]

Tagged. Will look into when out of beta phase. Great style though. :)

Updated!

[blwn98]

looks promising, is this fixed or fluid?

[voglermc]

Love to see a demo

Fixed but very simple to convert into fluid
Love to see a demo
When stable version is ready :D

[stefano9lli]

Added preview and stable release ;)

[dedica]

Very nice. Keep updated this :)

Hi, I would really love a fluid version of this.
I dont have the skills necessary to convert it, would you be able to post a fluid version?

Thank you so much for a really excellent skin.

[stefano9lli]

Theme updated to 1.1 ;)

Hi, I would really love a fluid version of this.

Go in AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> (S9Nova) Style Variable Editor, search for doc_width and change value into i.e. 95%. It will be fluid ;)

PS: added video demo

[invitezone]

ahh excellent
Thanks very much for the tip.
I had a forum about 3-4 years ago, and am only just building a new one.
I discovered what you just said back then but forgot about that.
So thanks for the reminder :D

BTW this is a really clean slick skin, I have looked at hundreds of skins and have a number of paid ones I am currently using, but this is by far the best one I have.

[skytearz]

I noticed the "view profile" has a visual bug that was fixed in the past update but returning in mod version 1.1.

I also noticed at the bottom of the "Thread Display Options" box on the left side is rounded but, the right side it's not.

I'm not sure if it's intended or not. I really like this skin and I hope you continue to release for 4.X .

Will there be any chance you will do a: S9 Nova | Light Professional Premium Theme? :D

this theme has taken so long to work. when it is stable enough, we can evaluate the idea to create a light version

Mine is designed differently. Using css3 and javascript, makes use of a lot of customizations on the core of vbulletin and has a number of different effects from that theme.
this is not to say that mine is better, just that there are many things (especially if you try the demo) that are really different and also is in no way based on that theme, but made ​​from scratch.
However, thanks!

[Sios]

Loving this but could we see this theme in a red color (instead of blue)?

Somewhat of this sort of theme: http://planetside.wikia.com/wiki/Terran_Republic

The dark grey I do enjoy.

you should have no trouble making that kind of change. for now I intend to work only on this basis of color (because the hour is coming VB5) Once everything stabilizes I will consider your proposal and if it comes out a good work I'll publish it.
Thanks;)

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=287803&page=2" target="_blank">this mod</a> dosent work with your style
i get a empty white box on the registration page i tested it with vb 4.2

[Flying Gremlin]

I like the theme. Good look, the tilt to the PNG logo is a nice touch that makes it more visually interesting without bringing clutter. Marked as installed while I play with it and will shortly offer out to members.



A couple of bugs I noted, which I was able to fix in short order but I can give you as a documentation of what I've found so far:

The vb CMS background is set to #FFFFFF instead of the transparent grey that was being aimed for in the rest of the style. Easy enough to copypasta
The widget header background image was set to Repeat instead of Repeat-X
The widget title text is dang hard to read in the color it is set to. I set it to White to increase readability.
Quote boxes are incredibly hard to read due to backgrounds being white with the light grey text. I have been trying to work on this, but can't find a solution I am entirely happy with.
When a category is showing on the main forum directory, the background is transparent instead of having the same characteristics as forums. Working on this now.
Not sure if its a bug or my own forum, but when looking at the thread list, randomly one of the threads will have a transparent background, when the others do not. Example:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/10/29.png


This is with all mods disabled.

[pwnedPRO]

no working...

http://pwned.pro/content.php?styleid=3 - you see this? :(
how i can fix this?

[Kiint]

I'm getting the same issues as Flying Gremlin,

Side bars have a repeating image and the text is very hard to read. This also affects some of the boxes on the CMS, and some text input boxes have a white background and light text....

Otherwise it's a great looking style.

[Flying Gremlin]

I found the fix for the screenshotted image in my post.

Inside the threadlist.css file, .threadbit.attachment has an additional "background:transparent;" tag in it. Delete that line and the issue goes away.

[Flying Gremlin]

no working...

http://pwned.pro/content.php?styleid=3 - you see this? :(

Wow... looks like the CSS didn't upload properly. Most of the styles are being ignored.

Have you tried reapplying the style?

[pwnedPRO]

yeah, not working ((

[concepts]

I honestly love this style... however I wish the CMS kept the same color consistency as the forums.

[Replicators]

Could there be a red version of this?

[Replicators]

The only issue i have with this style is the navtabs, if i could bring the navtabs from pixels premium to this theme, i would be using this, but it looks so bulky in this one.

[BrickZ28]

Ok after 3 days of fixing image paths my new problem is font readability in the profile. Each profile name bio, location ect is almost the same color as background as well as the rest of the displayed data. I have gotten some of the stats to finally show but not the rest. If you could let me know what setting this is done with that would be great. See image. and thank you

Thanks for getting back to me, my forum users love the new look (Nova) so keep up the good work.:up::up::)

[K4GAP]

Thank you so much for this great style!

As an up and coming style designer I was able to use the great structure of this style to tweak for my needs. Since I don't know diddly about the coding required I have relied on graphic changes only to make changes to the original.

Thanks'
Gary

My version of this great style. (http://www.livinginkentucky.com/forums/forum.php?styleid=15)

[Baghira]

Absolutely great style.

Just two questions:

1. Why are new posts marked yellow? That hurts my eyes ;)
2. How can I change it to something nearly dark as the background.

EDIT:

Search to solve ;) Thredbit backgrounds did the trick

thx

[moty123]

Can the s9 nova part be changed to something else i would like to put my logo there for the name of my forum if so how would change it thanks

Please guys, read the README into the archive first to post here, thanks :)

[Replicators]

THis is a great template stefano, however it breaks some mod's such as vbtube as you can't upload video's and i think it has to do with css coding but i am not sure, i do know this conflicts the worst with the pro version of vbtube.

[K4GAP]

IMHO this is one of the best free styles available anywhere!

Why it is only rated 3 stars is a mystery to me. I would love to know why it is not rated higher.

If some of those that have rated this style anything other than 5 stars would explain why, I feel if those reasons are justified they would be more likely to be addressed.

IMHO all add-ons will not work with all styles. It would be virtually impossible to test every combination of add-on and style to assure they work together.

Love this look. Does anyone have this working with DBTech-Post Thanks hack?

[Kiint]

Would anyone be able to let me know how to create my own version of the background image?

I would like to say "keep up the good work"!! This style rocks!! I'm still having trouble in regards to the "about me" letters are grayed out and hard too see after this update. I just upgraded thinking this was apart of the fix. This is the same issue as in post 47 and 50. If you or someone could please help me on fixing this or there will be a new fix out to fix this. Thank you very much in advance!!

[davidg]

any update comming for 4.2.1 ?

[ForceHSS]

you need to update the section colours on the cms. If you need a test site can give you one. Also have [DBTech] vBShout pro installed so u will help u fix any problems with that if needed. Have it up and running on 4.2.1 fluid style

[K4GAP]

any update comming for 4.2.1 ?

I ran this style for awhile on my 4.2.1 site and had no problems except, the status icons for categories was missing. All I had to do was to rename those icons as they have a different name from 4.2.0 pl3 to 4.2.1

At least give it a try and see what it lacks.

[ForceHSS]

You seem to have a template called ad_

Edit: removed to many bugs in it

[ForceHSS]

You have a big bug in your style when I set it as default I open my forums in Firefox it gives me what you see in the picture now as I have the needed folders protected with a password, no one can access my forums

Edited: Fixed it myself and updated for 4.2.1

With 4.2.2?

[thenashy]

I just wanted to post what we've turned this theme into with our forum.

www.broncoshq.com

We're very happy with the results from a very good base theme in S9. We will use this for around two rugby league seasons, with a few minor design refreshes in that time.

Thanks very much for the theme.

[darnstrong]

I can't get this to work with 4.2.2, its says the version is incorrect... is there away around this? or am I SOL?

[ozzy47]

You can select ignore version when you import it, but who knows if it will be compatible with 4.2.2

[darnstrong]

Yeah I tired that, it was missing all the icons... oh well the search is on for something else nice LOL..Thanks

[ozzy47]

Did you upload them from the zip file?

[darnstrong]

Yeah I followed all the instructs in the Read me... IDK what I am doing wrong, every theme I try is the same thing, no icons, and the banner doesn't show up either... weird..

It is very obvious to me that you don't have the proper image path either set or they have been uploaded to the wrong place. Otherwise it would show the images. There's really not much else it could be.

It's not rocket science, I followed the instruts and UL the folder, it told me too, In the VB folder it told me to, the only thing that was not clear was do I UL the folder itself, or just the contents, but if I UL just the contents, how will VB know where to grab what it needs?...:erm:

What would it hurt to try both ways? I used this style before and I don't recall anything unusual about the file structure.

[jfuchs]

Hi,
I have a problem with this style.
The install does work, but the style is not shown.
I use a UTF-8 Forum with "$config['Mysqli']['charset'] = 'utf8';" and UTF-8 Language Files.

Any idea what the problem is?
I tried different Styles but only this one doesn't work :(

Regard jfuchs

When it's released. How do you update a theme without losing all the changes we've made? I've never attempted it out of worry that we'll lose all of our work.

Very nice if it did. I love this theme.

I would, however, like to change the tilting logo. Is that possible? I looked for the code but i failed finding it.

I am creating a new Battlefield 4 website and using your theme as my layout for our forum section, I am trying to change the theme to match our main sites layout however I have ran into an issue. I am looking to change the color of the transparent box behind the threads. Where would I do this? Here is an image to what I am talking about and thanks in advance.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2014/01/42.png

Also before I forget, I have tried to change the blue button in the navbar with no luck. Also trying to add an image to display on hover for the navbar.

Please help a.s.a.p. I am in need...

[peugeot405]

to change the blue button:


in admin cp got to style manager
select Style Variable Editor
scroll down until you see navbar
change Selected Navigation Bar Tab Background

check additional.css for following code:

.navtabs li.selected a.navtab {

[lordicon2001]

what's the link to the site?



check additional.css for following code:

Yep you found that
.navtabs li.selected a.navtab
{
background: #1E1E1E; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #4384b7 0%, #055b9f 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#4384b7), color-stop(100%,#055b9f)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #4384b7 0%,#055b9f 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#4384b7', endColorstr='#055b9f',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */

}

However I still need to know where I can change the transparent background behind the threads. I am looking in the additional.css now but not sure what to look for

[peugeot405]

what's the link to site?

[lordicon2001]

I took all links out of my image posted above because the site is private use and I do not allow anyone on it until its 100% finished. Its only currently installed on localhost. In other words my local pc with apache

[peugeot405]

I did found your site ;).

in additional.css look for following code:


.body_wrapper {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(64, 64, 64, 0.5) !important;
border: 1px solid #333333;
}

[lordicon2001]

Thanks for all your help that works.

[peugeot405]

no problem.
