3. Countdown to Christmas: Demo
This will add a very simple countdown on your site, it made it to fit this xmas skin and I love it to be simply, if you are looking for more fancy countdown (bigger with effect), just wait, I'm working on a template modification for this.. Now here we go

In your "header" template:

Find:

<div id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header">

Add below:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

dateFuture = new Date(2011,11,24,0,00,0); //set time

function GetCount(){

        dateNow = new Date();                                                                        //grab current date
        amount = dateFuture.getTime() - dateNow.getTime();                //calc milliseconds between dates
        delete dateNow;

        // time is already past
        if(amount < 0){
                document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="Merry Christmas!";
        }
        // date is still good
        else{
                days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="";

                amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);//kill the "milliseconds" so just secs

                days=Math.floor(amount/86400);//days
                amount=amount%86400;

                hours=Math.floor(amount/3600);//hours
                amount=amount%3600;

                mins=Math.floor(amount/60);//minutes
                amount=amount%60;

                secs=Math.floor(amount);//seconds

                if(days != 0){out += days +" day"+((days!=1)?"s":"")+", ";}
                if(days != 0 || hours != 0){out += hours +" hours"+((hours!=1)?"":"")+", ";}
                if(days != 0 || hours != 0 || mins != 0){out += mins +" min"+((mins!=1)?"":"")+", ";}
                out += secs +" until Christmas!";
                document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML=out;

                setTimeout("GetCount()", 1000);
        }
}

window.onload=function(){GetCount();}//call when everything has loaded

//-->
</script>
<div style="color:#FFF;font-weight:bold;margin-left:110px;margin-top:10px;position:absolute;z-index:20000;" id="countbox"><!-- Countdown by thevBNinja --></div>

Q&A

[S]Q: Why don't you make a more fancy background?
A: We don't want your site will be something with load of graphics and full of colors.
You may want to do the background yourself with related content to your site. Anw if the request is high, I will make it.[/S] As requested, a SET of background will be available soon, mark as install to get the latest update.

Q: Does these add-ons slow down my forum?
YES and YES. I do not recommend you to use it expect the count down script. Or you can put it in your site just for one day like Xmas. It should be better.

Q: Why don't you intergate all these add-on to the style, it save us ton of time!
A: Because I want you are the one who decide what's needed for your site, each of add-ons here can be release as a seperate template mod but I included them all here for you, you can get exactly what you need faster and easier.
