It's in the StyleVars (doc_background I believe)
Thank you very much! :) :up:

Hi nice template love it.. just one thing.. I dont like the space between the header right after the navbar and the forum's posts and etc.. there is big a space which I cant seem to get rid of. can u guys help?

See post #13 here.

I changed those but it doent work.. I changed -10 to 0 and still the same :(

It worked for me is all I can say.

first I added this to the top of the additional.css


then I changed the -10 to 0 in the below code:
but nothing changed. can anyone help?

I want to change the header height to fit a taller logo. How do i do that?
Thanks in advance...
Example americanshootingsports.us

That is the only change that you would've needed to accomplish what you're trying to do. If that didn't work.....I don't know what else to tell you.....

In vbulletin-chrome.css adjust this to whatever you need:

Thanks, you rock!

Well, providing all goes well, and no more style changes are made to 4.1.8, the next release of this should help most of you out :)

The CSS has been cleaned up A LOT and the body has been moved been closer to the navbar since there were a couple of requests for that.

You can view it live now, using the demo links provided in the first post.

I'm also open to any suggestions you may have :) I MAY leave the alternating forum color in there for the next release. (Hover over a forum category to see ;))

Thank you very much man !
Nice style

Thank you! Don't forget to click Installed to receive updates for future releases :)

<i>Updated for vBulletin 4.1.8</i>

thanks first to download :)

Thanks for the update to 4.1.8 ..Marked as Installed..

I can't get the .xml to import. I keep getting this error. What am I doing wrong?

This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 4.1.5
File version: 4.1.8

Either upgrade your vBulletin to 4.1.8, or tick the "Ignore style version" box when importing

I really like this style. Very clean looking!

I was able to import it with the "Ignore style version" (which is didn't notices orginally) and it worked great.

Now a new question, I replaced the logo and noticed I need to move it down. I use post #13 and it didn't do anything. Then I did #49 and it worked perfect! It moved the logo down.


So how do I move the logo to the right? I want to play with either centering it, or just moving the left hand margin.... Right now is hugging to much to the left side.

I will post the below to help anyone that has a hard time understanding this stuff (just like me).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
Here some pics:
With step #13 adjusted to -100

Notice posted code say:
margin: -10px 70px 0 70px;
My code doesn't have the last 70px

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
Then I adjusted per step #49, and it moved it perfectly:

I just change the code from 90px to 190px.

If you want to center the logo, try this:

In the template header, find:
And replace that code with:
And add this to additional.css:

That change didn't work....

However, I searched other skins installs and found this code that will work (for me):
I'm not sure if this is the proper way, but it seems to work.

Add this the the additional.css

Strange, it worked for me :confused:

Just checked out your site.

You may want to adjust the top margin for .forum-main-header in additional.css as I see it's cutting things off a little ;)

My suggestion, change your margin to look like this:

HM - Thanks that worked.... I actually am going to put it at 1000px, which I'll explain at the last part.

History 1st.
I run two Navy boards, one for families http://www.navyfamilies.com/forum/forum.php , one for new sailors (called deppers) at http://www.navydep.com/forums/

My wallpaper on deppers site is kind of girly. While my family site now has the airplane from your style mod. They are reversed, the plane needs to be on my deppers site since it macho, and the design needs to be on my family site. The only reason I haven't upgraded my deppers site to VB 4.1.8 is I wanted a cool skin, which you have provided. Thanks....

So two more questions (hope you don't mind so many questions):

I try to teach new sailors the Navy before they go to boot camp. I want them to learn the basic info so they are ready. So I made up a "cheat sheet that they can study, while looking at my website. This way they are learning and having fun at the same time.

So I will be making a child of the style with this wallpaper:

I put my header as 1000px because they now can go back and forth and study this stuff. Go take a look at the site now, it really will work well teaching these guys/gals.

1. So how can I make the borders invisible too on your style? I want to show the jpg underneight. (see arrows)

2. How can I change the white text area to a different color, one of yours is invisible, which is probably the best, but I'll play with it to see if darker would look better.

Here is pictures that point to the area I'd like to change.

Again, thank you for making this skin, it's exactly what I was waiting for.

93Corvette, try adding this to your additional.css template:
That should fix the background for the stats and also remove the borders from the forumrows

That actually fixed the back ground to solid white (1.) which is exactly what I needed.
How do you make #2. invisible (no white transparent, just solid clear where you see the plane perfectly. I colored in area that needs to be transparent. See post #65 for my other website and you will see the arrows under the navbar (FAQ, Today's Post, Search).

In the template additional.css change forum-main-header to this:

HM,
Thanks.... I thought that would look good being invisible, but it ended up not. So I switched it back to the normal code... I appreciate you doing the code.... I just had to see if it would work....

No problem :)

I probably should've mentioned that it wasn't going to look too good after removing the main background, but didn't quite know how you wanted your site to look :up:

HM - what's funny is you would have told me it wouldn't look good, but I would have never believed it unless I tried it and saw it myself.

I was trying to get the skin to look exactly like my NavyDEP.com site, but just with a different wallpaper background.

I think its an awesome skin that will work really well once I get everything hammered out....

Are you going to try and bring this style into compliance with the release of vB 4.1.10, the next version that is currently in beta testing? I see a lot of changes are happening with the style vars.I sure hope so.

Yes, this will be made compatible with 4.1.10. However, not til final 4.1.10 though ;). I will not be updating these styles for the alpha/beta releases.

I started reviewing the stylevar changes last night, and there are quite a few changes that will need to get fixed before working correctly on 4.1.10. As far as templates and css, I'm not sure about that one yet :)

Thanks. I made several changes that are unique to my board under past releases of your style and I still admire your theme a great deal so I hope you can make the changes a lot easier than I could. I will if I have to but I'm not a coder, only a manipulator or modifier of written code. A lot easier to manipulate / modify someone elses code for sure. Again, thanks.

Once 4.1.10 goes gold then I'll be making the jump from 4.1.7pl2 to 4.1.10

Well, I spent pretty much the entire day rewriting / reworking / fixing this for 4.1.10, so, by the time 4.1.10 comes out of beta/alpha stages, this should get released the same day 4.1.10 does ;) (providing nothing else gets screwed up lol)

I was amazed at how much it screwed everything up when I updated my test site :eek:

That sure sounds like good news. I'm looking forward to getting the updated code into my hands on my test site as well and then over to my main site. Thanks for all you're doing. I for one am appreciative.

Very cool.

Quick question: is it possible (and reasonably easy to do) to have the white background for the text actually be sort of translucent, so that one can see the background picture behind it? The one downside to this style for me is that one cannot see the planes, boats, etc except on the very edges.

Thanks.

No, not really (as far as I know). I tried something similar when I was creating this style and it screwed up other areas of the style.

On a side note, I just upgraded U.S. Military Life to 4.1.10 Beta 1. Feel free to poke around and please report any issues you may notice. There have been several changes in this version.

You could also try adding this to your additional.css....

I just posted a new poll here for opinions on a header rework :) Please vote for which one you like the best ;)
