Notes:
- Demo forum shows only postbit_legacy, but usual postbit is also included in template and screenshot is available in attachment.
- Almost every template was modified to include rounded headers, not only index. So xml files are rather large.
- Style includes two versions for every color scheme: fixed and fluid width.
- Logo psd file is in attachment.
- vBAdvanced template files are included in every style in vbadvanced.xml
- If you want some additional color scheme(s) please pm me (note: custom work is not free).

Installation:
Unpack zip file, upload contents of directory "upload" to your forum including subdirectories. Use fixed.xml or fluid.xml to install template.

vBAdvanced Installation:
Install normal style from fixed.xml or fluid.xml, in styles manager select "download/upload", put vbadvanced.xml in file field, in "merge into style" field select previously installed CA Serenity style and upload it. This will add vBAdvanced template files to style you previously installed.


Screenshots and zip files are in attachment.

CyberAlien.
I am extremly new to vbulletin and so are some of your fans.
This might sound stupid to some of the established webmasters but could you write a step by step installation guide. I really love the green skin but the lack of guide is denying me the joy of having this skin.
If you allready know how to ride a bicycle the guy who is still learnning may look stupid.
Thanks for your time

Anyone know how I can get this style to load in VBPORTAL ? I can get it to display good in VB but when I go to my portal it shows a white page?

yago, I was the same way when I installed this skin. But it was SUPER easy without the adding of other mods/hacks. All you need to do, is download the file, unzip it, upload the "ca_evo_green" folder (in the upload > images folder of your download) into your forum's "image" folder. Then in your admin control panel, go to Styles & Templates > Download / Upload Styles > then under Import Style XML File browse to the location of the xml file (just inside the ca_evo_green folder) make sure "create new style" is clicked unless you want this to overwrite your default, name the skin (i used ca_evo_green just to be easy) parent style should most likely be your default.. then display order 1 to be first 2 to be second etc... Then click import, and you're done. go to the bottom of any page,(drop down on the bottom left side) and change the skin you want to use. You should be done! Remember, any editing you did previously to templates, and in the future, you will need to do to both skins.. That's where I ran into some problems... But CyberAlen helped me through them!

Style might not work with RTL at all.

No need to put name there. Its an optional field if you want to rename style while installing it.

That for the instructions. That helped a great lot. However I still have a couple of questions.
1. How do you make the evo-green your defualt template. I dont want to delete the origian vb style incase I want to revert in future but I do not want users to have a choice of template. I want them to use the evo-green alone.
2. I have GARS also installed and this bottons are not displaying

Without this snags, this is indeed the most style I have seen yet.
CyberAlien. I wish you could jump in aswell here.

[adnedarn]

1) admin control panel > vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings > Default Style
to set the default.

Then if you do not want users to have the option to change it to the default blue one, you need to admin control panel > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > on the default style drop down, select "edit settings" and put user selectable to no.

I'm sorry, I don't know what GARS is... But if it is something that you installed to the other style. You will need to reinstall it to the new style.

Adnedarn. thanks so much for the prompt response.
GARS is thevbgeek short for Geek Articles and Review System
it can be seen here
http://www.thevbgeek.com/forum.php
When I installed the evo-green everything even in GARS was beautifull with the exception of those bottons that will not show up in GARS powered pages
