The Evid Green style (3.8.4) by Sofia is awesome.

Is anyone interested in updating this style so it's compatible w/ 4.0 + CMS.

I can give it a shot if you want ;)

This is currently what the header looks like. I might tweak it a little bit more to try to get it to match anymore if I can.

Are you still interested? I don't wanna waste too much time if you don't like it :P

Please be aware that you can not redistribute a style created by someone else without permission from the original author.

That makes sense. But how do you get permission from the original author? She turned her IMs/Messages off. Otherwise I would've emailed her first. :)

Safe Stars - yes I'm very interested. Maybe you can just use her theme as a starting point and make it your own, so you're not breaking any rules. :)

I was thinking "Re-usable Code" meant you could as long as you don't use you're own copyright on it.

If it is marked as Re-usable, then the author already gives permission.

Yeap it is.

shamrox, I'll continue work on it today.

sweet.

wondering if the 4.0 forum and cms use the same style files? or are they separate?

I already have 4.0.2 forum installed, still debating upgrading to the cms (another 250 bucks *ouch*)

cant wait to see how it looks safestars!

The styles are generally the same you just have to make a few more tweaks for the CMS to match on some more defined colors.

Ah ok....makes sense! Cant wait to see how it looks on 4.0. You're going to make a lot of people happy for updating this style. Thanks. :)

I'll have a full main forum view for you to look at tonight ;)

Feedback?

looks great!

I commend your effort in porting one of Sofias styles to vB4, she has talent in designing the skins and it is a shame that she has not logged in for some time, but that's just the way it goes.

I would reccommend getting rid of the line of transparency between the navbar and the forum body, there is an easy way to do this, but I cannot remember for the life of me what it is, I think it involved the ad_header_end hook in the header template, and a </td> tag which needed moving down. I would also recommend moving the vBulletin copyright into the body, below the footer links bar, and changing the footer text to #666666 so that it's easy to read.

Hope that helps, and I'm looking forward to seeing this released :up:

btw, sofia is on twitter ;)

Sofia posted in another thread....said she's too busy and will not be working any more with VB. She gave the OK to upgrade her styles. :)

safestars, do you plan on posting the style files to the 4.0style forum?

As soon as it's done. Sadly I have a few other projects and RL that'll be cleared up next week.
