Show us your custom 4.0 Style
 

I’m gonna wait to upgrade till everyone figures out the style in 4.0 and skins become available for purchasing. Meanwhile, I’d love to see what everyone is doing to make the style unique

Well, I'm not done yet but I'm "close" to having it tweaked to the way I want it:

There are still a lot of things I've got to figure out, but it's getting there.

I have been playing and got this far and posted it on site to be downloaded

I love the background you are using with that. :)

Mines pretty sexy.

Looks nice mate

These are looking pretty nice :). Well, I had no choice but to go live, made a couple of styles so far. I'll be adding more, but you can see them at www.chambertheory.com

Sorry to get off topic but what mod are you using for the chatbox? Is it capable to be set to show only to registered members and above?

Yes it can but i can not release as not my work im afraid

Dang I was really hoping for this mod. Well maybe some coder will make one identical and release it or the original author will?

I'm not the only one to have trouble with a part of vb4, in fta2k's 3rd pic the bit where it shows replies and who posted, time etc are still the default colour, does anyone know where to change this?

I can't change that either.

Nope, I can not change it either. Hopefully someone reports this glitch. It hasn't been added into stylevars yet or it's not functional. xD

I believe it's under Common? I'm 99% sure I remember seeing a stylevar for the time.

wow you guys are so great that I'll have to try to make my own...

Here is mine - I did have the threadhead modified as well however when BETA 4 was released it over wrote it and so I am about to fix it up but feel free to leave feedback...

Here's my styling results for our Turkish Massive Multiplayer Online Gaming site (http://www.dvoturk.com)

^^^ Dude is there any chance you can add them as attachments or something as it is bloody rediculous with them being the size you have.

In threadlist.css, you have these lines:

It's hardcoded right now.

is it possible for anyone to make a style that dont look like SMF?
is VB4 really tricky to make normal styles to?
thx

It is just a beta right now so a lot of changes can take place. Until it goes RC or Gold there won't really be a wide range of styles except those that do theirs.

thanks for the info. i'll be happy to upgrade once the smf look goes. well i think.
even to see a default vbulletin 3.8 style for 4.0 would be a dream come true :D
cheers.

I hear some worling on that too making vb4 look like vb3.

I still have tons to do but it is a WIP

(Yes, it will be made available for download when vB4 goes Gold)

Nice design. If you don't mind I like to make a suggestion to that style and you can see if it will look good to you as I think it would.

Remove the Mark Forums Read | View Forum Leaders in the who's online area put this above or below who's online and still use the same cat style. Does that make sense? What do you think?

Still working on vB forums Beta 4 to get my custom style done, once forums 4 goes Gold I'll upgrade my current 3.8.4PL1 to 4 then work on suite4 on my test site to finish the style for the blogs & cms... besides incorporating the rest of my site into CMS articles... that's gonna be a lot of work. But here's my scheme as it is now on my vB4 forums TEST site... still quite a bit to do:

the 'replies' & 'last reply' *is* in the stylevars but I can't remember which one... of course one of the 'background' ones, it also changes the background in another area as well... whick makes it look fonky... but what's even fonkier is if you use another color for sticky threads... then it's really whacked =S

Sadly right now Eq4bits the color in threads you are referring to are hard coded right no but you can adjust it.

Anyone who can tell me how to fix the subforum background please? My main forum page is good now, I know all the stylevar for them, but my subforums are a disaster...I thought it would be in 'common' somewhere but I cant find...anyone help please?

try editing the css files; some of that is hard coded with a stylevar that isn't in the stylevar editing list -yet.

ok ty- thought it was me being dumb :)

How did raistlinthewiz customize his width to be like that for his forum so that he could display a background picture easily. I've been trying to do that but I always mess up some of the dimensions, wierd proportions, any have list of settings to help?

Much appreciated,
Dave

Yea some of these people doing great thing it would be nice to have a styling dictionary for now. This would get people familiar with the whole backend.

No way near done as i still have to do alot of things..

Here's what I have so far.

trying to [semi] port this:

nice!!!

You mean to add an entirely separate category frame just for those links! Don't you think it would possibly clutter the style a little too much. I placed those links where they are to attempt to reduce the clutter a little, vB4 is a mess of clutter!

Yes that's what I meant. Well I guess things are just of personal taste. I see what you mean but that category frame (Who's Online) seems kind of cluttered in my personal taste. Don't get me wrong though I love the work done there. I just think it is what's of personal taste. Maybe I am still kid of stuck with the way things are/have been? It was just a ideal or thought to look at.

I'm not expert,
please anybody want to "translate" vb 4 def style in a vb4 red style and posting here the settings for do this?
