noWhine! [vB_Dark] 3.7.2 HATTRICK!
 

First of all i wanna say that i've tried to contact the original creator of this style but unfortunately i haven't any feed-back about a new release of this wonderful style ... so i've only updated some icons that in the old style were missing, also i've put vmacedonia's new editor buttons and changed the main fonts of this style from verdana to tahoma ...

however ALL the credits about this style goes to weapon-x and like he said to Shelley_c for her superb images ...

you can find the (original) 3.6.x version HERE

Also i just tested this skin with the Validator with this result:

Nice skin! Thanks! Mark as Installed

Thank you kindly indeed, KURTZ. Very nice, very clean, very vB3.7 compatible.

Installed.

FYI: expand/collapse button is missing
In UserCP > Your Profile the expand/collapse button is missing in, for example, Mini Statistics, Friends, etc.

Where is the banner lol?

Do you mean your forum logo? I needed to copy things like that into the vB Dark /images/misc then change the style to use my forum logo.

Why do people always have to copy something?
Titles, images, skins, everything?

i've just updated the .zip file, i've already added 2 missing images ... check if all is correct now :)

what do you mean? :confused:

you must set your personal banner url in the image paths in the stylevars options, obviously first you must upload your banner onto your FTP ... :)
(ACP ---> styles & templates ---> vB_dark ---> Stylevars ---> title image)

Great! My favorite color. love it, installed. Thanks :X

FYI: expand/collapse button is STILL missing EVEN after using your updated .zip file.
In UserCP > Your Profile the expand/collapse button is missing in, for example, Mini Statistics, Friends, etc.

(That's the smallest I can get it using only MS paint.)

vB Blog owners FYI:
You will need to copy /images/misc/blog into styles/vB_Dark/images/misc.

now i understand 'Ozzy' :p it's an IE trouble ... if you check that page with FF you should view all correctly (as i see)

You're right, sort of. WhyTF is this a glitch in IE (IE7). I don't get it. I don't know how to fix/correct it, either. Smolly.
BUT, in FF, the expand/collapse button does NOT even show up. What?

i dunno mate, i only know that this isn't the only style that have this trouble with IE7 ....

KURTZ,
You missed 2 /images/buttons/ collapse_generic.gif and collapse_generic_collapsed.gif.
I copied these 2 GIFs from images/buttons to /vb_dark/images/buttons and I now do NOT have an IE problem; the buttons now are displayed. Voilà!

And, the expand/collapse buttons NOW show up in FF.

so will this inherit all the hacks i have installed on my default?

No. You will need to add hack template changes you made to your default to the vB_Dark templates.

Ok, how the heck do you center the title image?

In your header template try align="$stylevar[center]" for your <img src="$stylevar[titleimage]"

Is that what you're asking?

can't we upload this under the image folder too?

give me those imgs so i can upgrade the package ... thx :)

Yeah mate, but it didnt work. :(

KURTZ,
The "missing" GIFs are in the vB /images/buttons folder. You need to copy collapse_generic.gif and collapse_generic_collapsed.gif from the vB forum's /images/buttons folder to /vB_Dark/images/buttons. Ok?

And, reiterating...

vB Blog owners FYI:

You need to copy the current forum's /images/misc/blog folder into /styles/vB_Dark/images/misc folder.

OK thx Ozzy, just updated :)

Guys, this is an awesome skin. Something i have been looking for. I love it!

I have one question. How, and where do i edit the NAVBAR? I looked in the NAVBAR template, and i cannot find any of the links that are currently on the navbar. Are they located somewhere else now?

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Looks like i missed them, they are in the NAVBAR template. I hope i am right.. lol

Edit #2: Well, i incerted one link, and it won't come up. Any ideas? or can someone share their code to add the links please?

Looking to add a HOME link on the navbar. should point to http://www.site.com/index.php

It doesnt seem to be fluid. I am using 1900x1200 resolution and it does not fill the browser

Yep, i noticed that too. How ever, it is wider than those fixed width ones i have seen.

CHECK HERE maybe this can help you ;)

onto my demo board i've fixed this at 90%, but you can change this value by yourself ... anyway i've a 22'' wide screen and i see this totally fluid ... (1680*1050)

I am getting missing images http://www.gofastnews.com/board/styl.../games_ltr.gif in all of my boards.

games?

Hello !

Great Style !! But can we have a Thanks Button Icon for it ??

THX in advance ...

Capslockman,
You need to copy the Post Thanks mod's post_thanks.gif from /images/buttons to /styles/vb_dark/images/buttons.

also check THIS by Joe ... unfortunately i'm not a graphic so i can't release any button for this style ... i only released a 3.7.0 version but the credits are gone to weapon-x, shelley_c and vmacedonia ...

Anyone know yet how to center the title image? (the main banner)

Glovebox,
I AM NO AUTHORITY ON HOW TO TWEAK vB TEMPLATES, but, from just dinkin' around in Style Manager, which you, too, are empowered to do, in the header template if I pop entirely the $stylevar[right] td, then change the $stylevar[titleimage] to $stylevar["center"] that puts the logo in the middle. This is just a how-I-did-it and may be totally unrecommended by anyone knowledgeable in vB. There is an extensive, well-put-together write up on Styles & Templates in the vB Manual.

Not just games it is the image that goes before the individual message board title.

take a look gofastnews.com/board and then click on any of the forums.

Your style is looking for: gofastnews.com/board/styles/vB_Dark/iconimages/say-what-you-want-shake-up/race-picks-opened-up-all_ltr.gif.
You need to 1) create the new folder iconimages in /styles/vB_Dark, 2) then copy that GIF into it.
That's my guess.

that is the weird thing, there is not suspossed to be a gif for that. it is simply the tree image.

Where in your current style template is this GIF? It "works" in your current style, yes? Your current style expects /iconimages to be a folder in the vB_Dark style, I suspect.

Silly question (well, I AM a n00b, lol) but what is the difference between 'fixed' and 'fluid'?

fixed means a skin that has the width 'blocked' to specific dimensions (most of the cases 1024*768), fluid instead changes its width by your screen resolution (if you have a 19'' with 1280*1024 resolution you can see the forum large like your screen) ...
