Planet Earth - a free, dark style, from Themes by Design
 

Planet Earth is the newest of my very few dark styles. This style features -

• optimized for postbit_legacy
• separated categories
• 95% original images
• valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional

Installation Instructions -

1. Click on the "Install" button on the right of this post, then download the zip file to your computer and extract it (I put it on my desktop, it's easier to remember where I put it!).
2. Open your ftp client to your server. Go to your forum's images folder, open it, and create a styles folder.
3. Next, upload the earth folder via FTP to your server, into your forum's styles folder, so that your image path is images/styles/earth/buttons, for example.
4. After you've uploaded the folder, open your admin control panel on your forum, and import the xml file, by going to Styles & Templates > Download / Upload styles > Import Style XML File.
5. Click on the Browse button, locate the earth-style.xml, and double-click it so that it loads in that box, then hit the Import button.

The zip file contains a blanks folder with 2 blank buttons in PNG format, for easy editing. No psd's are available.

Enjoy! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Very nice! thanks

Installed

I'm glad you like it y'all, thank you.

Ohiosweetheart, I have always enjoyed your themes.

Thank you!

Attempting to use this and it is very nice but cannot seem to get the nav bar working correctly. I use vb_advanced and have the other themes converted to switch back and forth from the frontpage to the forum. Not sure where or how to code the buttons. I added the same code from the other themes. The drop downs under community work fine. What am I missing? Do I need to create something image wise?

Never mind. Removing.

I'm sorry that you couldn't get it to work. The navbar is just a default navbar, nothing special, no coding or anything.
I use vba cmps myself, and it works fine for me.



No, thank you! :)

mine is working..

you can check my board http://gsmph.com/forum/vbb/index.php

and i have done some modification with it.

@Ohiosweetheart

gsmph:up:

I don't mind at all darlin. That looks great, very nice job!

Excellent ;)

Thanks sweetie!

hey, is there anyway i can edit somewhere to stop the writing in the Categorys from starting a new line please?
like i just would like the Category title in one line?
thanks

Edit: also Social Groups default images missing sorry ;)

Yikes, I've not had that problem. I'm hoping that's in a template. I'll look into it and see what I can find.

i'll stick to my thread at your site for updates on this thanks ;)

I just updated it there too hun. I'm just not having this issue. On my preview site, I typed a really long name in a test category and didn't have a problem.

damn i still see it as 2 lines on IE and Firfox.
but hey its not that urgent ;) may be its just my computer lol.

EDIT: made the mt-left.gif smaller like you asked and worked thanks ;)

Thanks Jaycob :)

I cropped both the left and right category images, and replaced them in the zip file.
I've uploaded a new zip file, in case anyone else is having this issue as well.

nice ;)
hey sorry again, i cant seem to edit the logo without a PSD.
when i edit the background comes out white lol. im not that good a photoshop sorry.

Edit: Silly me never read this :rolleyes:
thx

Awesome! I love it. First style I use with VB. Worked easily and like a charm. Thanx!!

there is no logo to edit. You have to make one, and save it either as a transparent gif or PNG. The one I have up there is a PNG

Thank you, I'm glad you like it :)

@Ohiosweetheart

the problem with long forum name is that when ever a user used a low resolution that problem occur..

but if you used a high resolution from 1153x864 up to 1440x900 there is no problem viewing a long forum name..

look below the difference..

800x600 resolution

1440x900 resolution

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1236830740


i hope you see the differnce :D

gsmph

@ above, actually Ohiosweetheart and i have been discussing the resolution on her site a few days ago. i just made the 2 images really small and works fine ;)

of course I see the difference :rolleyes:
Thanks

After Jaycob and I talked about this on my site, I cropped the two end category images and it seems to work fine now. This was one time I didn't look at the end result on my smaller res monitor. That'll teach me.

Ohiosweetheart I really love the theme. Probably one of the best I've seen. Very simple and clean looking. I have implemented it on my VB Forum, and it looks great.

One thing though. Is there a way to make it non fluid?

This style is designed to be a fluid style. But you can change the % to just 900 or 800 or whatever in Stylevars. I don't know how it will look tho.

Yeah I changed it. As long as the titles/categories aren't too long then it looks fine. But I can't seem to get the + signs (the ones that make the categories collapse) to become not fluid haha. Any ideas?

ummm no, none at all, sorry.

I made my own logo.
But how can I get it to be centered?
The logo centered cause it seems to be leaning to the left.

Excellent style.
