Style for Christmas

It's Xmas again.

I made it last Christmas when vb was 3.0.X. So I call it "LastChristmas".
Reminds me "Last christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away..."

So I lost the source files, like PSD, FLA files. :disappointed:

For the pain I suffered through style update, I try to edit as less templates as possible. And now only three templates are changed: header, footer and standard_redirect. This makes it compatible for all 3.5.X version. Next year, when I need it, I won't have to do much on the Xmas style. Well, this Christmas is the last christmas of next year also. :ermm:

There is a "big" header. If you don't want to use flash, you can use the head.jpg instead by modify the header template. Or for the download speed, I have this head.jpg sliced. See pics from "header_01.jpg" to "header_08.jpg". These pics are all in "styles/yyxmas/extra" folder.

The style's width is fixed to 770px. May be you like the width unfixed, you can edit the "header" template and "body" in main css. For I am busy these days, sorry.

This styles is made from a windowsblinds theme ChristmasTime by mormegil. Great thank to him.

1. Unzip the file downloaded.
1. Upload folder 'styles' to the ROOT directory of your vb.
2. Upload the XML style in admincp and your done!

The fla.zip contains three different snowing style. You can choose what you like.

Here is a fluid width style for unfixed width use.

I am busy and lazy, I am not clear about the new pics added for the unfixed style use. So, simple rules for simple person. Just copy the whole extra folder . Overwrite exsitings. That's it.

The unfixed version's xml file is in LastChristmas+.zip named vbulletin-style-yyxmas-unfixed.xml.

Enjoy~

Merry Christmas and Happy new year.

Put the url where? the image paths? they are all correct. I want my navigation bars to be the same size as the style.

Stlye manager>all stype option> scroll your mouse down and you will see some thing like"Category Strips" "Tableheader"... in all these parts there are "background:...." put the full url for this one. I thinks in your site it is "back ground: /style/..gif" then put it like "back ground: http://www.yoursite.com/styles/image.gif"

Hope this help!

[clearchannel]

Does this change all my current styles, or can I create a new style called christmas?

It just creates a new style for you called lastchristmas.

Due to the fixed width and me using a portal, I couldn't get it to look right on the site. However, the graphics were outstanding so I used them to temporarily decorate my primary style (just replacing buttons and icons). I also added the snow effect and it's looking pretty good IMO.

However, I did edit the the forum_new.gif and turned it into an animation. I've attached the file for easy download (if someone wants to use it instead of the default forum_new.gif.

I did the same thing as a lot of my members found it hard to read.
