Please click install if you use this template :)

That looks great. Will install on next update. thanks

Looking good although it's too smooth.

Hmmmmm grey uuugghhh is the usuall thought that springs to mind. I had only seen one good grey style before Crofts original Xtreem for vb and that was ages ago on some old v2.x board, not that I'v seen every vb going. Its a hard color to get right and now we have another thats worth adding to that list ;)

Just having a minor issue with it on quick reply and Im not sure why as it seems its intermitent. When it arises only first post will work for click to enable it. And it seems to be more prevalent on live than on test but is happening on both.

Clicks install anyway. :D

PS Griffin is bluepearl down atm I seem to get not found ?

Thanks for letting me know man, will look into this problem.

Yeah i had to change the IP's on my nameservers so the site should be back up in the next 12 hours.

Although it hurts my eyes, I can easily recognise how you have worked for it and how long you edited templates to look specially. For even those reasons, it must be appreciated. :)

It's one of the best looking themes I've ever seen.

Thx Ged ;)

thanx .....

nice style. too dark for me, but great post! keep it up!

Nice style, thanks for sharing. Is it possible you could attach screenshots of forumdisplay/postbit too and just not forumhome? Thanks. :)

np updated ;)

I cant get this to come up in my CMPS V1.0.1 there is no adv_portal_module_shell in it. I created the template but it still wont work. any ideas?

which version of vbulletin r u using?

ah 3.0.7 tried the upgrade and lost a few things so i went to my backup.but it works fine in the forums,just not in the cmps part of it. really like the style. is there any way to get this to work at all?

This style is created for vBulletin 3.5.1 and will not work with any vbulletin releases before this.

Visit this link to download the 3.0.x version

no thanks on that one... dont like the colors at all. was looking for a grey style without anything on the suround pannel like the x-factor,now thats a nice skin. wouldnt mind seeing a mod of that one to work with the older ones.

Just letting u know i fixed this problem, i made a small error when editing the postbit template.

Sorry dude half asleep thought this was the Darkness thread lol, yeah this skin was not released for vbulletin 3.0.x series and will only work with vbulletin 3.5.1 or higher.

is there anyway to switch the templates to make them work?I really like this one

or anyway to remove the picture from around the forum in that darkness?

You would have to create a new style in vBulletin 3.0.7 and then recode all the the templates / CSS etc from scratch as there have been alot of template modifications in newer releases of vBulletin especially 3.5.1.

If i had more time on my hands i would release the style for 3.0.x but this close to christman is impossible :(

You can do this, it would be just a matter of removing the outer table from the header and footer templates.

Thanks bud... will try this and try some color mods.

np dude, and good luck ;)

The reply buttons in show thread are taking up a row by itself, pretty waste space imo... any idea where to edit to change ??

showthread template

ok got this installed on 3.0.7 without a hickup... had to do a little editing tho.My question now it this. I have the vbadvanced put in and it made very nice blocks around the cmps moduals in the homepage,is there anyway to put the vbadvanced part of this code to make it go around the forum sections as well? or can I modify the portal_modual shell file or one of these to add to my current theme template to make it work?

to have borders around your modules similar to the rest of the theme u just edit the portal_module template.

no what I am saying is I have the blocks around the CMPS moduals and they look fantastic,I want to put the blocks on my forums as well around each section. anyway to do this and if so what would need modified?

ah i know what u mean, this can be done but will mess up your sub-forums.
With the first release of this style 1.0 i split the categorys on the forumhome up and it looked fantastic, but people complained about sub-forums messing up which also happened on my own forums.

Until i can find a way around this table problem i decided to leave it out.

You can however use this guide to try it on your own forums

thank you very much,I hope you find a way to do this and make it all come together nice.talk about an awsome skin.......

ok,now wich code there will make this happen? all i seen was seperation of the forums to match the page background.

ok I used the darkness skin and combined it with the xfactor. here is the changes I made i the Forum Home Page Templates (click on expand)
