Thanks for trying to help but unfortunately it didn't work for me.

I just wish I knew what the problem was as my members would love a Christmas skin.

I wish I knew how to help. It sounds like you have the paths wrong. Did you upload the styles directory (and its contents) in your forum directory? You shouldn't have to mess with the stylvars at all.

Thanks for your reply :)

I have uploaded everything to the root as instructed. I don't think the paths are wrong because when I view them they are where they are supposed to be they are just not showing up on the forum.

The colours (e.g. red, green etc) are okay in my control panel but are not displaying on the forum, it's just the standard default colours of the forum, (e.g. blues)

Did you select the Christmas theme? Scroll down and pick it from the drop down box in the lower left corner? You'll also need to change your default theme in your admincp:

Settings > Options > Style & Language Settings > Default Style

Good try..Seems to be missing something.Plus fluid/fixed helps alot..Well done..

I haven't allowed the users to choose the style as it's not working so it's disabled at the moment.

The images are uploaded correctly (I think) as you can see it here http://www.chatdaily.co.uk/styles/xmas/xmas.png but this is what it looks like and as you can see only some of the images are working but the backgrounds aren't showing, all you can see is the vB default colours.

Just try enabling users to select style..then when the box on bottom left shows up see if it works..after I did that it all worked fine.

This drove me nuts for months..and I tried everything else possible...there was no reason at all it didnt work

Plus that setting for style CSS files

Thank you, makes a nice change to my site for this time of the year.:)

Works great on 4.1.0 PL2 :up:

Thanks for your help :)

I did as you suggested and still no luck. I just wish it would work.

Just did an update to pl2 and there is no more bg
