Great looking Skin.

Thanks!

This is the closest to one of my sites current skin that I have seen yet :D
The search thread drop down colors are off though...

How do I get it to work on the CMS too? Is it a bug that when I go into my user's control panel, the left sidebar still uses the default style, and the right side of the page displays no options?

Updated the sidebar colors.

I'm not exactly sure of what you mean. If you don't mind, please take a screenshot and I will fix it as soon as i can.

I just fixed this. Please redownload it. The sidebar colors should be fixed.

Thanks for the support.

As Hostboard said - closest to my original style by far! Thanks.

That said - if you have a look here, I've got the "first time..." notice showing in YELLOW [original theme color?] and the left/right sidebars also appear to be in their original colors.

I've tried downloading and re-installing the style, but it doesn't appear to have done anything for me...

Ideas?

oo..also, the edit box on the Article add comment editor...

The black text on grey background is a bit hard to read, as are the black foreground icons on the grey background...

If you can point me in the spot to edit them I'll take a crack at it, but otherwise if you could fix it, it'd be awesome :)

Thanks again!

Yeah I like the colors used in this dark theme, they look real nice. I hope to see you keep it updated over time.

great skin, just what i was looking for. Little problem with the UserCP / Settings area, all the options are pushed to the right and squished. I tried to find the issue but these new style vars take some getting used to.

The skin looks great but it doesn`t work for me for the CMS. :(

They'res a problem with private messages, the side bar in the private messages area is default color, as well the PM list is either colored to blend in with the background by accident, i tried reinstalling, i even tried at your forums.

Yup I've got the same problem so its not just your board. Too bad as its one of the best temps released here so far.

Installed
Thanks for the Nice Skin!!!!

Do you know how I can fix the white boxes on the content.php home page? I must have something wrong here.

Sorry, i was busy all day. I'm fixing all the bugs now! I will send an update once i am done.

Please download the new update. This should be fixed.

To make the style work for the CMS, you have to click the edit (pencil) button next on the main page (content.php) and manually set the style choice.
The CMS styling isn't very intuitive. (many people have this problem)

Please download the new update. This should be fixed.

Please download the update. This has been fixed.

Update Instructions:
Simply download the attachment and upload the file 'darkvision.xml' to a new style and delete the old one.
No images edits have been made so you only have to update the .xml file.

Thanks for your support.

When creating a new thread, I have this happen. The skin has been modified, but only colors and options in StyleVars. Not sure what could cause this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/12/1.jpg

I have just tested this on a demo forum and I don't get any odd occurrences when creating a new thread.
Try downloading the update and reinstalling updated style. A stylevars edit may have caused this.

Well, according to some of my members, it seems to work fine. Suppose this can be chalked up to a simple error in my cache or something.

If that's the case, it could be what you suggested or just a browser error.

Thanks for the screenshot. I'll look into anything that might create this error.
If you have any other errors, please let me know.

Edit: Please update. Some major bugs were fixed.

What I was experiencing was a long-standing bug on our forums that prevented things from showing if the "www." prefix was not applied. I fixed it, and, by extension, this error was also fixed.

I'm glad you resolved it.
Font colors have been fixed..

Nevermind. xD I didn't read enough.

Very cool,
just downloaded and tested...one little problem though
the albums..
the boxes are nearly white.. and for example in the editbar the the title is very light gray..
the editbar background being nearly white.. you cant see the title..
but except albums.. it works great!!!!
F.
[edit]
Forgot... the notices... i have a pending friedrequest... and when i check the notification dropdown.. its very very light gray text on white on white background.....
the mouseover works fine though...
[/edit]

I set the stylevar navbar_popup_link_background to #25292c and it fixes that.

This template is crap. There are huge design flaws all over this......IMO.

Not got nothing nice to say, then don't say it at all!

Good job, but OpenDNS is listing your site as down for me.

If I may ask, why cpstyles? Shouldn't it be uploaded in the "styles" folder?

Nice update.

I saw a problem on the login screen. The problem is when the textbox has the focus (password and username), the background becomes darkgray and the text color is black. It's almost impossible to read.

Yep - same here, plus on post reply or new thread the Font icons etc are almost impossible to see as their on a dark background. Anyway of changing both these issues?

Otherwise not a bad style at all :)

Another EXCELLENT skin.

I am adding my own logo named banner.png prior to upload and then will not have to edit that.

This is my favorite style to date! Very Nice.
There is a difference how the text entry box in Internet Explore displays compared to Google Chrome. IE7 text background is white and text is white while Chrome displays correctly with dark text background and white text. :erm:

http://208.43.23.140/images/text_box.jpg

Is there a way to change the color of the actual article, or put a background image on it? For example in the CMS, Front page, the article inherits the site background. Are we able to put it as a different colour? I can't find that variable.

Really love this style.

However, it is almost impossible to see the reputation and report post icons.

Can you please make it so these stand out clearly. Many thanks,

Thanks for the suggestions. I will make a new set of buttons shortly.

You might want to update in the stylevars:
- profile_content_friends_list_hover (currently I quickly set this to #333333 or rgb(51, 51, 51))
- navbar_popup_link_background (aka "Navigation Bar Popup Body Link Background Color")
Noticed that those 2 on the least are showing a white background when popping or hoovering ;).

As for the white background in the wysiwyg on IE, seems like a flaw in the javascript I guess, because if you switch from wysiwyg to normal then the problem is solved. Though the annoyance are the inputs of title and tags, black text in a dark-gray field. kinda hard to read and tested on 2 different monitors.

I very much like this skin but I can't get it to work in the CMS, where is this "pencil" button you mention?

Is there anyway to change the text color from light blue to something else?

I am currently fixing some noted issues and will update with the next release.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will try them out for the next release.

The pencil is shown when you hover over the first article title as an administrator. This allows you to edit the first article on the first page.

This would require a separate template release. I will try a silver/white font color instead of light blue. If you have any preferences, please let me know.

I'm just to used to seek out the problems and find what's the correct 'style-name' or solve. The reason I mentioned those two after 10 minutes of searching the white backgrounds with white texts before it :o. But I always keep the perfect solution for the designer, he/she always knows which colors are the best for the template ;)
