I know you can use the admincp to do the commmon templates part but i am more of a programming type person and i prefer the entire XML file before my eyes.

-There arent even tutorials on how to do it? cause a style XML file for vB is much more than 13k charachters >.<

While you prefer using an XML file, vBulletin imports this data into the database... and it would become very tedious IMO to constantly reimport the style over and over again just to make a single change to a template.


No, because there are changes in everything from style varibles to the type of code that is used.

vBulletin 2 was bad html 4 with replacement varibles
vBulletin 3 is XHTML 1.0 trans with CSS

When I was doing porting. I loaded the style in a vB2 board, then used my knowleged to refrence the same changes or, make new changes to the code to make it look like the old one. it basicly requires a total rewrite.
