Black and Blue Style

Hello, all!

I finally decided to release a style. It is a vB 3.6.5, 951 pixels fixed width, dark blue and deep gray/black style. I developed this theme on my test installation on my PC, so unfortunately there is no live demo, but I've attached a couple of screenshots. The theme has been tested with FireFox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and Opera 9.0.

I tried to make it so customizing it is a relatively painless procedure. In the header template, I commented where you can add your own logo, 468x60 ad code, and customize the links (Link1, Link2, etc.).

Included in the zip file are the xml file, button PSDs and icons with a dark matting.

There is no theme copyright in the footer, or any links to any sites of mine. Please, though, do not redistribute or sell the theme.

I'll support it as time allows, and I'll do my best to keep it up to date with each new vB release. If you wish to hire me to do extra customization on it, such as develop a logo, change the buttons, statusicons, etc., just send me a PM.

Please remember to "Mark as Installed"! Bonus points if you decide to throw a donation my way.

1-12-2007:
Added the PSD for the layout to the zip file.

5-03-2007:
Added a fluid version of this style. The installation instructions are the same, except for the obvious file name differences. Additionally, the fixed version of this style has been adjusted so that you can set your logo graphic in the "Title Image" field of the style manager, instead of having to edit the header template.

9-10-2007:
Updated the .xml files for vB version 3.6.8.

Installation Instructions:

1. Unzip the "blackandblue_fixed-style.zip" file.
2. Upload the two folders, "icons" and "blackandblue" in the image directory to your forum's image directory.
3. In your admincp, click "Download/Upload Styles" under "Styles and Templates".
4. In the "Import Style XML File" section, browse for the file, "bb-fixed-style.xml" included in the zip file and click the "Import" button, leaving the rest of the options at their defaults.

Enjoy!

Instead of modifing the template I just renamed the old image to navbits_finallink_ltr.gif.

SmashinYoungMan, you may want to fix this in your navbar template for future downloaders.

Do you happen to remember what this image was called initially?

Yea, it was called navbits_finallink.gif originally

Hi, i am using the style and loving it, but.... Attached is a pic of my website, i want to remove the top section 'only the 2 blocks that i have coloured red' and replace them with my own pictures, how do i go about doing this? ?

Thanks

First, let me say... Awesome style... Me like...

I have a question that involves vBulletin, PhotoPost and your template... Well, all templates for that matter... I have vBulletin 3.6.7 and PhotoPost 5.62. I went through all the steps to integrate PhotoPost within vBulletin and so far, so good. I then stepped through installing your style as per the directions... All is well in Shreddedville except for a couple of things...

The title image which is defined in vBulletin as 'images/shredded_logo/SHREDDEDonline3.gif' shows as a red 'X' (basically, image not found) when over in the integrated PhotoPost. Obviously, there is a problem with the pathing because the two entities reside in different subs. /forum/ and /photopost/ under the domain.

The title image directions say 'relative path under forum' which, to me, makes it unable to be found when over in the gallery. As I type this, I realize, this is not really an issue with the style... But, if you may have any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

I love everything about it, & I also run th Admin CP. My problem is a minor one. With the style installed, I lose my link to my Arcade in my Navbar. If I uninstall the style, it pops right back in the navbar again. That, plus the fact that link doesn't disappear if I use any of my other styles, hints to me tha coud be the problem

If I understand correctly to get the full width, I need to use the fluid style, I believe I am using the fixed one at the moment, it's bee a while, since I installed this theme, and we love it, its used as our default, but really do want to get it full width.

if I may I will post the url to the site, if your not registered it's OK it will still show you the narrow of the theme

do I just upload the fluid zipped file, upload to the server and import the new xml file

I really don't want to mess up the board, so I will wait for some clarification to this

we are a young board and not a lot of experience in making changes, with out messing up,,,LOL

thanks for a great theme, and the anticipated help on this matter.

in the attached screen shot you will notice it's not full width, but the grey on either side

i love this style too. i want to reinstall it. i have a slight problem though. the other guy who works on my site with me added this style and overwrote the 'default style' and now on every other style theres parts of this style. all the other styles have features inherited from the default (overwritten) style. ive tried uploading the default VB style to no avail. can you offer some insight on how to replace the default VB style essentially taking it back to VB Deault Style so that we can upload this as an optional style? thanks in advance for any help.

Does anybody know if there is a style layed out like this but based around red?
