Style for Christmas
 

It's Xmas again.

I made it last Christmas when vb was 3.0.X. So I call it "LastChristmas".
Reminds me "Last christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away..."

So I lost the source files, like PSD, FLA files. :disappointed:

For the pain I suffered through style update, I try to edit as less templates as possible. And now only three templates are changed: header, footer and standard_redirect. This makes it compatible for all 3.5.X version. Next year, when I need it, I won't have to do much on the Xmas style. Well, this Christmas is the last christmas of next year also. :ermm:

There is a "big" header. If you don't want to use flash, you can use the head.jpg instead by modify the header template. Or for the download speed, I have this head.jpg sliced. See pics from "header_01.jpg" to "header_08.jpg". These pics are all in "styles/yyxmas/extra" folder.

The style's width is fixed to 770px. May be you like the width unfixed, you can edit the "header" template and "body" in main css. For I am busy these days, sorry.

This styles is made from a windowsblinds theme ChristmasTime by mormegil. Great thank to him.

1. Unzip the file downloaded.
1. Upload folder 'styles' to the ROOT directory of your vb.
2. Upload the XML style in admincp and your done!

The fla.zip contains three different snowing style. You can choose what you like.

Here is a fluid width style for unfixed width use.

I am busy and lazy, I am not clear about the new pics added for the unfixed style use. So, simple rules for simple person. Just copy the whole extra folder . Overwrite exsitings. That's it.

The unfixed version's xml file is in LastChristmas+.zip named vbulletin-style-yyxmas-unfixed.xml.

Enjoy~

Merry Christmas and Happy new year.

This images is only for demo. The style is nothing about the language your vb use.

Very nice.

I am going to use it. :D

wow beautiful!

Amazing style! Unless I get a pro to correct the issues it has with our portal, I am affraid I won't be able to use it. *SNIFF*

Nice Style.
i have it installed on a german vB
thanks for sharing!

holy the best xmas style out of all of them XD.... currently using it and many peeps liked it =]

any chance u have the template for the flash snow effects? i wanna put some images in there? =]

I know the feeling.

Had to uninstall because it sent rpg inferno haywire. :ermm:

Maybe there is a VERY nice and helpfull person that knows exactly what to correct for the style that could contact us individually..... waits with bated breath and fingers crossed.

Very nice style!!! :)

I would be very happy if you'd be willing to share the PSD files for the buttons, so I can translate them to dutch....

Cheers :D

This is simply wonderful Yack and thank you. I have this style as an option for members because some of mine have slow connections and this would no doubt slow them down. Some of already using and just love it.

This is the best Christmas theme I've seen so far for vBulletin. Thank you!!

Can I have a "THANKS" button? (or any PSD file) :)

thanks

Thnx Yack, very nice, and have i nice christmas ;)

@Yack
To fix the portal etc...

Go to Styles & Templates,
Go to Replacement Variable Manager,
Go to LastChristmas and [Add New Replacement Variable].

See screen in my attachment
My forum root is forum, but some people have forums or other.
Save and now you see a fixed portal :)

Thank you yack. This was a very good christmas style.

I would like to use some of the images, but not the entire theme. What do I need to put in the footer to credit the images? Thank you :)

Wonderful work! Thank you! Just what I was looking for! :D *clicks install*

When I display this style none of the mods like arcade and vbjournal show up??

Thank you drl2005, I did this with no sucess at a fix. Thank you anyway.

VERY nice!!!! Thank you very much!

Oh I am going to use it soon.

Is that Snow animated and flows down the page? If so I want to use it.

I want to personally thank Yack for not only this amazing style, but for spending several hours fixing it to work with our portal.
It is truely amazing work!

Also from Germanye - thx very much indeed! :banana:

The snow falls only in the header at the top. There is a mod you can add to your board to get snowflakes over the entire forum though.

Just installed it. Very nice. Thx! :)

Anyone know how I can fix my navigation bars?

Thanks

put the full url for your style throug your template manager and in the header and footer.

I want to use this skin in other languages. Can you give me the psd files?

Can you give a ittle more?
Put the url where? the image paths? they are all correct. I want my navigation bars to be the same size as the style.

What do I need to do to do this?.......

Thanks in advance :)

Stlye manager>all stype option> scroll your mouse down and you will see some thing like"Category Strips" "Tableheader"... in all these parts there are "background:...." put the full url for this one. I thinks in your site it is "back ground: /style/..gif" then put it like "back ground: http://www.yoursite.com/styles/image.gif"

Hope this help!

nice work thanks

I love it,however for some reason it has came out funny

Does this change all my current styles, or can I create a new style called christmas?

It just creates a new style for you called lastchristmas.

Wow! What a great looking skin :D

Due to the fixed width and me using a portal, I couldn't get it to look right on the site. However, the graphics were outstanding so I used them to temporarily decorate my primary style (just replacing buttons and icons). I also added the snow effect and it's looking pretty good IMO.

However, I did edit the the forum_new.gif and turned it into an animation. I've attached the file for easy download (if someone wants to use it instead of the default forum_new.gif.

I did the same thing as a lot of my members found it hard to read.
