Nice, was looking for that for my first attempt at a theme.
How would you add that to say the main header for the thread displays after you browse into a category?

Update to add special category line to forumdisplay

1/ Login to your admin cp
2/ Goto Templates > Modify > [expand list] > Forum Display Templates > forumdisplay_threadslist [edit]

3/ Then in "forumdisplay_threadslist" find:

4/ Above it add this:

5/ Thats it!

I used it. But modified it a little bit. Good job.

How can i make the line bigger?

It's now just a little line after my category, i want to make it bigger,

How?

Thx

do you want it taller, longer ??

i need to see a link to your forums really and then you to tell me what you want doing :D

Yes, i want it longer

On your screenshot it's a tiny line, i just want it some longer

Like techforums has that

Here is a screenshot of what i mean: (Look at the red line it cirkels a green and a orange line)

Hope you know enough!;)

Ok added to my forums now the problem I am getting is that it is red instead of the color I specified..
Any ideas on why its doing this?

Here is my forums
http://theclanforums.com/forum

As you can see the line is suppose to be #003F71 which would be the blue background page instead its coming out red..
Please let me know something on this as its a pretty good modification to my forums!!

Thanks!

Ok nm...I just changed the {catlinecolor} to the specific color and deleted this hack

But I would like to know how to change the thickness of the line though..

what i want to know is how to implement this to on your postbit..

heh.. nvm.. i just found out how.. :D LOL

making the line thicker... hmmm... to be honest im not sure... you could try the "height= " attribute in the <td> tag ... not too sure about that tho...

works fine mate ;)

:D

hehe - sweet thought mate - thank you for your efforts!

your welcome

Thanks alot. I am using it.

nice nice , i really needed to know how to do that w/o making a ed code for my cats.

Thanks nice modification

i tried this mod but this is my results :(

nice work dude, easy adjustment but it looks awsome!

Not bad, I like it, but I don't like having mod colum, did away with it on my board, to many mods

thats right... now change the color of ure line to match ure site...

This is a sweet little mod when you neeed to break up dark colors or hint to other colors to give design options dealing with colors. Thanx

Thanks :)

i don't have $announcement... i added in the announcement mod here in this forum... what do i do if i still want to use the simple way of this mod?

thx 4 sharing :)

using this one together with some others tweaks @ www.sportboard.de and it improved the whole thing :)
this shows how you can improve your design with details :)
