I'd like to use these? The red one is the subbg and the gray one is the catbg

Not sure why you would want to use those as you pretty much end up with the exact same look.

Stylvars, then look for popupmenu_color. Warning, that may be linked to other similar popup text color, so if you change it, review the rest of your forum to make sure other links using the same class don't change (or, perhaps you will want them to be the same) it's up to you.

I don't know about new threads showing as bold. New or Old, both should just be regular font face and red. To change that color you would edit the threadlist.css, and threadtitle class. Again, same warning as above and that's... if you edit threadtitle, it may also affect other titles such as the threadbit class.


I'm happy to support this style for problems with this style, but unfortunately I don't have time to offer free help for customizations. As others have mentioned, using Stylevars.com, Firebug (if you use Firefox) to inspect elements for their css class, and remembering that some items are not changes in stylevar but in css templates... those three things can help you accomplish your customizations. Just keep backup copies of the style in case you make a mistake.

where in threadlist.css would it be in? I just want to change it from red to lets say a light blue.

Hi Mark thanks for the tip on popupmenu_color but that was not it.
I will keep trying different options.

Seems to work fine on 4.1.2 for those wanting to upgrade.

Hey Mark, thanks for creating this skin for 4.x. I'll be updating my site soon. Two quick questions:

1) Where did you code that the logo is at /smoothred/misc/logo.png? Because under image paths the logo image is listed as images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif.

2) Where can I edit the off-white page/body background? I'd like for it to be white to match the rest of the background on the page.

Thanks again! I'm glad to see you back on here.

StyleVars -> Titleimage -> images/smoothred/misc/logo.png ( Change to your logo )

StyleVars -> Doc_Background -> #e9e9e9 ( Change to #ffffff )

Thanks!

I install am using 4.1.2 and in who's online it just comes up with Array no names! Is this because the style isn't suited to 4.1.2
