Blue Darkness, this is my first shot at making my own theme. So don?t laugh! I was a phpbb guy for awhile. I could always get tons of good free themes. I miss that in the vB world so I thought I?d help out.

Some of the ideas are from http://www.tamparacing.com/ . I based the theme off of the default RC1 with some color changes and added some patterns. I upgraded my site to RC2 and saved the xml file from that (it's not based off the RC2 default theme). I am new at this so if anyone wants to help just let me know.

You can see it here. http://boostedmopar.com click around and you can see the banner changing on reloads.

It?s pretty easy to install. Just copy the darkness folder in to your http://yoursite.com/yourforums/images/ making http://yoursite.com/yourforums/images/darkness/. Then from style manager upload new style, upload the xml file from the zip file.

You will have to edit the banner_reload.php. Do a find/replace and replace yourdomain.com/yourforums with your information. upload that to your root forum folder. The banner_reload.php can be used to add or remove the amount of rotating banners.

Please test this on your test forum. I am not responsible if you hose up your site. You?ll have to make a couple of images to make this fit your site. In the zip file is the .PSD for the banner.

Can you post screenshots instead of linking to a live demo please? Just incase for any reason your site goes down.

Eye sore. The kind of site that makes me run screaming to the "back" button. Can I offer you a color wheel?

I could add 3-4 scrolling text banners, do you think that would help?
