Please, call me Mike, not by my legal name, Michael.

For those of you that are wondering, the code just removed the ugly blue/pink borders around the images.

well done. good job :)

Thanks :up:

Very Cool! Thank you!

All the buttons remain the same color.

To change the color's of buttons and put a hint/splash of color your would copy them out of your forum path and change them in photoshop and put them in a new folder and rename the forumpath in your new style.

EDIT: Thanks UK . I am just working through my CSS. Long process but the effects are very awarding.

Can someone tell me why you would want this rediculous "add on"

Actually it's a Template Modification and it is in the appropriate section.

As far as your question to "why" you would want this: Well not everyone wants to have 4 or 5 of the same styles with different CSS color hex codes and a dropdown menu when you can simply have a color chooser at the bottom just like it is here at vB.org.

well have different styles then if not everyone wants the same styles

ps i appreciate it is much harder work to click on a dropdown

Is there any codeto set the wide (fixed/fluid) also?!

i have tagged it for later use:)
nice:)

this is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!! Using this now and love it!

Glad you enjoy it :D

So If I download this color.zip file, what's in it? Do I still have to do this tutorial?

Well lets see the file contains the color squares, you can of course make your own, and it has the code for you to edit with your own info.

Generally you just need to read the instructions at the top once if your happen doing minor template edits then this should be a doddle for you :D

let me know if you want any help :up:

Well, it sounds pretty difficult for me when I was reading.. Sounds like a lot of work, or am I wrong?

Well if you wanted it done in 5 minutes then this is not for you, It will take time for you to create the new color schemes, to how you want it, then you need to edit the code and add the url to your new colored skins, then save them to your footer, the code edits and saving to the footer can be done in less than 15 minutes i guess, but the different colored skins, that what will take the time.

Its not that hard to do but a little time consuming, don't expect to do it in half an hour, take your time and have fun, I'll help if you get stuck ;)

Thank you for this mod, UKBusinessLive :) Very useful. ;)

Thanks Sofia :D

If anybody's looking for the new hot color palettes, check here.. I use them for things like this

Thanks nnstaff :D

Just bookedmarked it myself ;)

The color blocks at the bottom of your are sumwhat chunky.

Any chance of how to have them like vb.org's nice and sharp please.

How would I replace the dropdown quick_style_chooser menu on the left hand side of the footer with this, rather than it being to the immediate left of "contact us"? I know it is probably very simple but I am a beginner :o

Clicked install, instructions were perfect (great job!) besides this little thing I wanted on my own...

going to give this a shoot, thanks very much ;)

can the icons change with each style? or every icon has to be the same for each style?

Hi there. Thanks for this...
I am using a few styles from here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=214585 - Grey will be standard, and lets say green, red, darkblue and plum should be the changeable ones..... I dont know how to add them that the Colorchange will work. How do i have to add the other styles?
Also one point i dont understand.. maybe its my bad english.... in the description is written "Display order - 20". Does it mean i need to give this number to every Style i add?! Confusing me ;)

I am using the CA Evo 3.8.3 styles (just 8 of them) and would love to use your mod so users can make a simple click to change colors. Is there a simple way to implement your mod with the already installed styles I already have?

I'm as picky as anybody and I don't see anything "ridiculous" about it.

Hi Gary

The Mod redirects the user to the color/style which he wants to view, If your using several different styles as opposed to colors, then thats fine, all you nee to do is to include your style url in the clickable color square. You will need to chose a basic color which compliments your style or you could use a small block of say 4 or 5 of the most common colors for your particular style. ;)

Your first style line of code would be something like this.........

<a href="http://www.yourforum.com/forum/index.php?styleid=5"><img src="http://www.yourforum.com/forum/images/misc/style1.png"></a>

with this

Being the redirect to your chosen style

:)

I have multiple styles that only differ in color and each color comes in either fixed or fluid. These are the styles offered by Sofia.

I'll dig into your suggestion and see what happens... thanks

Let us know how you got on Gary ;)

Hi. I still have some Probs. I added my Styles i want to use as u can see in the Picture
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/08/92.jpg

I have added this code in the footer of the Main Style - http://test.brainlag.eu/forums.php?styleid=39

Still have probs with showing the squares (just using 4 atm to test it).

Another question i have is if i have to add the Code to all my styles?
btw.. I just want to use the Evo Styles. Thanks for helping me.

When you see the red cross That means that the url of where you have your color square is broken, you need to get the right url in the code. ;)

Also if you add border=0 to the end of the graphic link, it will install your color square without the Purple link surrounding it

like this

Thanks. I dont get the prob with the squares but i am on it...

U wrote to give the copied Style the number 20? What a bout the next added styles? not number 20?

And do i have to add the Code for the Colorchoose to every style?

Thank u

The Links to your Styles are shown like the example below

Thats an example from my forum, if you go to your ADMIN CP and go to your Style Manager you will see all your available styles, clicking on those style will take you to your forum in the style you've chosen, Look at the url and you should see one similar to the example above.

I've only given an example styleid, as invidivual forums will differ

:D

Ok so far.. but what about the code? seems i have to add this to every footer Template? Thanks

I've followed your directions and everything works as it should :up:

Now, how can I remove the drop down style selector without disabling user selection? If I were to disable user selection it would disable their being able to set it in their user options.

I want to put your mod in place of the drop menu. (same place)

=================

Note:
I skipped the first part of your instructions as I am using the multiple colored styles offered by Sofia's "CA Evo 3.8.3 - 25 colors" styles.

Again, this mod is so simple to implement, even I could do it :D Trust me, that's saying a lot for your instructions.

Yes to every style or color that you have included ;)

Hi Gary

I think :confused: But not 100% sure you can remove the style drop menu from the admin cp (general options??) But i'm not 100% sure and not totally sure if it would effect this mod or not, Perhaps you could let us know ;)

Thanks Buddy

BTW, Sofia is a Very Talented Designer, I have a lot of respect for her work, those evo styles are just wicked ;)

Thanks Gerry
I'm a grumpy old kind of guy and usually ask myself why others do what I just did. Asking questions for support of something that isn't related to the actual mod. Sorry about that.

I'm going to dive into the code after I back everything up. I'll post positive results with a link to my site and any helpful code examples.

Hey Buddy, I'm grumpy too, so thats cool ;)

see how you get on mate, i'm always here to help ;)

This is what I came up with.... looks and works GREAT!
