Theme Transition

[KGodel]

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me sort of copy our website theme and adapt it for the forums.

And our forums:

The images and style stuff is there, I've just never done a theme before so I really don't know where to start.

It's really just creating another style without a parent and adjusting the colours and image addresses to suit, everything is pretty much changeable

[KGodel]

That sounds easy enough, but still over my head. ^^ Thanks for the advice though!

Thanks. I'll attempt it, but when it comes to carrying over graphics and styles it's going to get difficult for me. ^^

What would be the best approach?

Should I first design a mock-up using just HTML and the images and then attempt to use maybe the default style to get how to do templates?

Just create a style with no parent and have a play around with that, much easier than you think, the templates are just html!

The background should be simple and the basic colors but he has some transparencies there and some images that need to be added with css.

The header and the navbar a little tricky too. Definitely needs some css work.
