peterska2's Christmas Style for 3.5.x · **Released**: 11-21-2005

Well, it's finally here. I've been working on it for a while and had massive problems with some of the graphics as my usual graphics guy sat on it for 6 weeks then let me down, but I got there in the end.

So, theres a couple of screenies attached (I know you guys just love your screenies

)
Live demo: here

To install: import the xml file and upload the xmas folder to your forums directory.

A big thanks to ekopapers for his help with the buttons.

Enjoy, and please remember to hit that

button if you use this.

Updated to work with 3.5.2

To upgrade, import 352-christmas-peterska2.xml overwriting your existing copy of this style. You will also need to upload the new skype images to the correct location in the xmas directory.

umm can this skin be made to centre properly, for some reason its all aligning up on the left

peterska2 · #44 12-08-2005, 08:50 PM

It should be aligning in the center. If not, can you provide details of browser used and version (3.5.x or 3.5.2). Thanks.

I'm missing:
xmas/misc/ftile_back_left.gif
xmas/misc/ftile_back_right.gif
xmas/misc/tile_back_left.gif
xmas/misc/tile_back_right.gif

I use WOW Orange as my forum style. I'm going to change it from a child to a parent. I was trying to get out of installing some feature, but there are several things that it inherited I don't like. Sorry for the bother.

ok try this.

Make sure you only do this in the Christmas Style otherwise you will mess up your normal style.

in your navbar template

find

Code:

style="background-image:url(xmas/misc/tile_back.gif)"

delete it

find

Code:

<td width="58" height="29" align="left" valign="top"><img src="xmas/misc/tile_back_left.gif" width="58" height="29" alt=" " border="0" /></td>

delete it

find

Code:

<td width="58" height="29" align="right" valign="top"><img src="xmas/misc/tile_back_right.gif" width="58" height="29" alt=" " border="0" /></td>

delete it

Go to 'Search in templates' and locate the following

Code:

 <!-- top skin4u.org category table setup -->
<table width="100%" style="background-image:url(xmas/misc/tile_back.gif)" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="58" height="29" align="left" valign="top"><img src="xmas/misc/tile_back_left.gif" width="58" height="29" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
    <td width="100%" style="background-image:url(xmas/misc/tile_back.gif)" valign="middle"><div class="smallfont" align="center"> <strong>The Run down</strong></div></td>
     <td width="58" height="29" align="right" valign="top"><img src="xmas/misc/tile_back_right.gif" width="58" height="29" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
        <!-- End top category table setup -->

then delete it (I'm not sure which template that will be in)

Then repeat process for

Code:

  <!-- bottom table setup -->
    <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
        <td width="120" align="left" valign="top"><img src="xmas/misc/ftile_back_left.gif" width="120" height="23" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
        <td  width="100%" style="background-image:url(xmas/misc/ftile_back.gif)"></td>
        <td width="120" align="right" valign="top"><img src="xmas/misc/ftile_back_right.gif" width="120" height="23" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
   <!-- End bottom table setup -->

and delete this

in your header template

find

Code:

<td valign="top" align="left" width="104px" style="background: url(xmas/misc/left_middle.gif) repeat;">

<img src="xmas/misc/left_top.gif" align="top" /></td>

delete it

find

Code:

<!-- Snow Effect(Small SnowFlakes) by Blackpheonix ? to Dynamic Drive -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/images/misc/snow.js">
</script>
<!-- /Snow Effect(Small SnowFlakes) by Blackpheonix ? to Dynamic Drive -->

delete it

Search in templates for

Code:

  <!-- bottom table setup -->
    <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
        <td width="120" align="left" valign="top"><img src="xmas/misc/ftile_back_left.gif" width="120" height="23" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
        <td  width="100%" style="background-image:url(xmas/misc/ftile_back.gif)"></td>
        <td width="120" align="right" valign="top"><img src="xmas/misc/ftile_back_right.gif" width="120" height="23" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
   <!-- End bottom table setup -->

and delete it (this is possibly in your navbar)

That should od the trick. If I've missed anything let me know.

When I install the version 3.5.2, I have advertising in my Forum

Also there is a member called 'Tom', but he is not registered. I am surprised...
