Although it seems like your "your trying to call me out on it", I got it from a free background site. Anyways, I hope you don't expect me to draw that well.

Zelda-King 02-06-2010 07:50 AM

It is excellent for the most part, but you might want to look at group.php?do and verify that looks right because it looks very strange for me on both this and your Pixel theme. (Both the background colour and text within blocks are white in this.)

I also noticed some of the StyleVars lead to an odd directory instead of /twilight/. /livelife/ or something...

daveaite 02-06-2010 05:01 PM

Thanks for pointing both of these items out. I'll take a look at it. Expect a release tonight

Edit: These variables are not in stylevars yet, I believe. Expect 4.02+ to hopefully include them.

Well no, but one would expect you to (finally) respect other's copyright.

From the very site you ripped this from:

Excellent skin thanks, looks good without the background as well.:D

That's really immature. And I'm pretty sure your older than me too. If you don't like the free theme, don't download it.

I actually got this image from another site than digitalblasphemy.You can imagine that with the net being so big, that duplicate images get used everywhere around the free background sites. Thankfully, digitalblasphemy has a terms where you can commercially use this. I have added their link accordingly to the background [Fix 1.0.1] to avoid any conflicts as I do now believe digitalblasphemy is the creator of the background.

This theme is different from the other one, SeaJay, it uses different shading, color links, and hover-overs and background menu drops. Furthermore it uses different radius's and a different background. I don't think you noticed, but the HIO Theme uses free backgrounds as well.

Next time you report my thread, you can at least warn me what the problem is so I can fix it. Give me a chance to respond. If I'm not listening to you, then report it...that would be the logical thing to do. So give me a warning, I'm very active on vBulletin and I will make changes accordingly.

V.1.0.1 now uploaded.

You failed to listen to the owner of VBSEO.com, who's theme you directly copied and just changed the logo.

You even changed the name to hide the fact that you ripped his skin. it used to be called vbseo clone.

tercede 02-07-2010 02:24 AM

The practice demonstrated here is not the way to go about distributing skins on vborg..this is quite sad.

I think the complaint is that your entire business model and skin creation strategy is based on stealing other people's hard work, then profiting from it.

Did you put credit/linkback to vbseo.com in the 'SEO green' skin? Is there a linkback to digitalblashphemy.com in this one? No, but I bet there's a link or 2 back to your sites.

daveaite 02-07-2010 03:50 PM

You really just sound like your whining (31 years old?). I can assure you digitalblasphemy has been given there FULL two cents. Look at the footer of every theme created.

Kall's business model is to taint the reputations of other designers and sites like forum-skins.com. He is a designer too don't forget.

TalkTemplate 02-07-2010 11:03 PM

If what they say is true. I cannot believe VB.org would continue to allow this developer to publish styles here so shamefully. Pity.

daveaite 02-07-2010 11:33 PM

Its not true, just ignore Kall. See my demo site for proof. You wouldn't want someone talking bad about your site.

Here's proof from the actual theme:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/02/59.png

Proper credit and links both on the image and at the bottom footer are given. I have the full permission to publish this theme given the image is labeled and that there link is in the footer stated by digitalblasphemy's Terms of Service.

redhawk89 02-07-2010 11:56 PM

This theme is legal, and it looks sweet too.

Good on the developer, looking forward to more.

If it has been there since the beginning, or at least since before I posted that it wasn't, why does the zip file now say it has only been downloaded 3 times?

Nice try though. Liar. Again!

Medtech 02-09-2010 07:53 PM

Nice style, i would like to see the background fixed too.

daveaite 02-09-2010 08:24 PM

When you say fixed, you mean you don't want it repeating in the x direction?

MikeLac 02-11-2010 02:53 AM

This is a nice Style! :)

Just a few issues that I had which I easily fixed. I use the IBPro Arcade. All hyperlinks are white. The background is white in the Arcade. In other words, no hyperlinks can be seen. Besides, I like the hyperlinks to be a different color than the rest of the text.

I changed the Hyperlinks color to Orange. Orange Hyperlinks looks pretty sharp with this style!

On all the widgets, the header and body text is a dark color. It should be white like the other text.

Here is what I changed:

Styles & Templates ==> Style Manager

Under Edit Fonts / Colors Etc.

Select StyleVars

Then under the vbcms section, edit: vbcms_widget_color

Change Color to: #ffffff

Under the Links section, edit: link_color

Change color to: rgb(255, 102, 0)

Now, my only issue is the Sections widget. When my cursor is over it, the whole sections background lights up in a bright pink. I find that very annoying. I haven`t tried to find where to change it. I`m going to do that now.

I don`t mind taking a Style and editing it a little to my own tastes. It is impossible for you to create a Style that pleases everybody. :)

daveaite 02-11-2010 03:06 AM

Honestly, MikeLac, probably the best post I've seen from someone on my threads. You first wanted something different, but then you told people how to make it that different. Thanks x10

The sections widget operates like that for me too. I'm wondering if it's a 4.0.1 glitch. I think it is.
We'll have to wait till 4.0.2 to see if they fixed it. It doesn't occur with the categories.

Edit: Can I see a link to your site? I'd like to see your changes.

Sure thing!

My site is at: WainwrightForum.com

I have made it my Default theme.

For the Logo, I used the same colors as your Twilight Logo. I created it using cooltext.com and Photoshop.

For the Sections, I created 30 Sections with approx. 650 Subsections. Just like an Article directory! Eventually, I will have a separate layout for every single Main Section and Sub Section! I have a different layout for the first 20 Main Sections so far. I started creating my Forum on Dec. 21st.

By the way, I was on your Forum yesterday and I read your thread about installing the Stop Forum Spam Mod. That Mod is incredible! I have had it installed since Jan. 3rd and only one Spammer has gotten through. Only because he was not on any Spam lists. Lately, it has been rejecting approx. 10 Spammers a day. Spammers were registering at my Forum since the day I purchased and installed the Forum Software back on Dec. 21st. Which was odd, because nobody knew about my Forum yet. There is one source which creates a lot of Spam for every single Vbulletin Forum owner. Everybody that purchases Vbulletin gets a link to their Forum added to the list of all Vbulletin Owners. How convenient! A One Stop Shopping center for Spammers! How else would Spammers find out about my site from day one. I am going to see if I can get my link removed. You will find that this Mod will solve your Spammer problems. I only filter Email and IP addresses. I did not bother filtering User IDs.

Now, back on topic. :)

That is certainly strange how the Sections widget changes to a bright pink when the cursor is over it. I thought that you designed it that way since it doesn`t do it with my other Styles. It will be interesting to see what bugs version 4.02 will fix. :)

One more thing that I changed. It has nothing to do with your Style. I make this change with every Style that I install.

The RSS Widgets cut out the descriptions. It shows the titles only. If you want the descriptions as well, then this is how to do it:

Edit Template

Vbulletin CMS Templates ==> vbcms_widget_rss_page

Replace the following:

<!-- /////// Commenting out Summary and Author
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw detail.summary} <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw detail.author} <br />
-->

With:

<!-- /////// Commenting out Summary and Author -->
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw detail.summary} <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw detail.author} <br />


I am sure that it is very frustrating when you spend several hours creating Free Styles and people have nothing better to do than criticize your work. That would drive me nuts! I always try to make suggestions for improvements without making it sound like I am being critical. Everybody likes things differently. For example, I liked the Hyperlinks changed to Orange. Many others probably liked them just the way they were. :up:

Before Dec. 21st, I knew nothing about Vbulletin, other than being a registered user of a few Forums. But I love to tinker with things! That is how I learn!

daveaite 02-11-2010 04:38 AM

Very nice what you did to the place. I see what you mean by the section highlighting. I'll need to release a new version though since I did not mean to put pink as a background color.

You can change the background by going to stylevars > vbcms_navwidget_menuitem_background
and
vbcms_navwidget_menuitem_hover_background Apply this color: #0BB59A, looks nice, or any color.

Thats a large section by the way. My test forum has the defective highlight as well, so thats why I think it operates like that (as a unit).

Thanks for the RSS fix. And yeah it's a bit frustrating, it actually happens to be just one member of vbulletin that just pops in every once in awhile, I asked admins to delete his posts, I'm sure there too busy right now applying 4.0.2 and getting everything ready for release.

Another great post by you, I had to spend the time to write a lengthy one back. And I'm a tinkerer as well. I only started web site development and design 2 years ago, and I've come a decent way, more than I expected. I'm just about to graduate as a Civil Engineer at FSU, but the funny thing is, I find web development alot more fun and exciting. Every door you open up, seems to have 1 million more things to learn. The competition is fun too. Okay that was my sidetrackness on my post as well. Haha.

Anyways, I couldn't help but notice, a link to cbmall.com. Do you own that site? Looks like a killer site. Congrats xD

MikeLac 02-11-2010 05:27 AM

I purchased CB Mall awhile back and never did much with it. I thought that the Forum would be a perfect place to have a link to it! The CB Mall cost $97.

It is all about Affiliate marketing. Do you have a Clickbank Affiliate Account? With CB Mall, your Clickbank Affiliate ID is inserted into every single product. The CB Mall has pretty much every product that is in the Clickbank Marketplace. It is better organized and has better product descriptions than Clickbank. Jeff Mulligan owns and operates CB Mall. He is one of the VERY FEW Internet marketers that I pay attention to. He does not abuse his mailing lists by trying to promote every product under the sun. When I do receive an Email from Jeff promoting another product, the product is usually pretty good. I can tell that he has tried the product and really believes in the product. Most Internet Marketers couldn`t care less if you buy a crappy product as long as they get a commission from it.

I used to do a lot of advertising on Google Adwords promoting Clickbank products. Did quite well with it. Until Google became a public company and decided to gouge the advertisers for more money in order to please their share holders. Not to mention the many hoops I have to jump through just to get my Ads to show. I stopped giving Google money about 1 and a half years ago. Now I want to concentrate on Google Adsense and take money from Googles pockets.

My Clickbank ID is Reviewsggl. If you go to the order page of ANY product in the CBMall on my site, you will see at the bottom of the page: Affiliate = "Reviewsggl"

I have been designing web sites myself for about 7 years now. I did the same as you. Learned myself from scratch. Lots of tinkering. If I saw something that I liked on another site, I would copy the site and play around with it on my Computer to see exactly how it was done. I use Dreamweaver and Microsoft Expression Web.

Thanks for the Background color change. I will make the change in about 18 hours from now. I am going to bed now. It is 12:25 AM where I live and I have to be at work for 6:30.

TTYL! :)

daveaite 02-11-2010 05:36 AM

Ah, Same here, I will write a more quality response tommorrow. (2.36am)

MikeLac 02-12-2010 12:24 AM

I installed your Live Life Style about an hour ago. Marked as Installed, 5 stars. Same with this Style!

Now I see where the Pink highlighting with the Sections widget came from! :D

I left the Pink highlighting alone with the Live Life theme because it looks good with that Theme. I changed the Highlighting color with the Twilight theme to the one you suggested in your previous post.

I also changed the Hyperlinks color as well as the Hover Hyperlinks color in the Live Life Style. Have a look at my site and let me know what you think! :)

Picking a good color for the Hyperlinks is a bit more challenging for me. Mainly because of the Arcade. The Arcade background is White. So, I have to try and pick a color that looks good on white as well as a Red background for the Live Life Style. Orange looks good on a white background as well as the dark background in the Twilight Style.

daveaite 02-12-2010 12:42 AM

Hey Hey, Yeah time to update the twilight theme. Thanks

The green highlight actually looks pretty cool how it just lights up the forum when you highlight over it. I got to hurry up and update this before more ppl download it. haha

daveaite 02-12-2010 01:25 AM

Updated. v.1.0.2
-New status icons
-Fixed cms glitches
-Improved cms look as well! I think you may need to fix your cms Mike, I've improved the look of the widgets.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/02/49.png

MikeLac 02-13-2010 03:08 AM

I deleted the Twilight Style completely. I also deleted the Twilight images folder from my server. Then I uploaded the images folder from your latest update. Then installed the new Twilight Update. Then I edited the Twilight Style to my preferences.

Looks good! :)

I will also register at your Forum Skins site in the next day or two. Those are my kind of topics! (Google Optimization, SEO Strategies, and Marketing) :up:

daveaite 02-13-2010 04:15 AM

Yeah, Very nice. Taking a look at the site atm. If I can give you one tip, you can blend your google ads by changing the background color as well, that way they don't stick out as much. Either to a black background or a dark blue. Advantages are that users will click on it more if its blended with the site.

Also when I was registering for your forum, I noticed this error:
Quote:

The file /home/wainwrig/public_html/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style00000l/vbulletin.css is missing. This would indicate your forum is not set to save CSS on the filesystem. If you are certain it is, try running Compress CSS again.

To prevent issues, your forum is currently running without optimised CSS as a fallback.
Check the installation package and just find vbulletin.css. I think writing over that file or adding vbulletin.css back to its location should fix that problem. Not really too sure. Are you using custom mods?
