Black 'n' Blue V2

Hello, all!

This is the 3.7.x version of my original Black and Blue theme. In addition to the basic compatibility upgrade, I also cleaned up the code to make it XHMTL valid, and redid a lot of the graphics. The editor has also been made to match, along with a few other touches here and there.

Also, the theme's width can now be set in the style manager, working at both fixed and fluid widths. There is no need to download separate fixed and fluid themes as in the original release.

For this release, I opted to use simple boxes for the status and forumhome icons, making it easier for you to customize them to your liking. You can use the ones provided with the original release if you prefer those.

Included in the zip file are the xml file, PSDs for the buttons, and the folder containing the images.

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.

Installation Instructions:

1. Unzip the "bbv2-style.zip" file.
2. Upload the folder, "blackandblue", 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, "bbv2-style.xml" included in the zip file and click the "Import" button, leaving the rest of the options at their defaults.

Enjoy!

Installed,

Love the theme but I am having a couple issues.

The main logo area at the top, when you resize your text (like pressing control+scroll) it doesn't resize with the rest of the board, and becomes out of proportion, not a big issue. Seems to do the same with firefox and IE.

EDIT: ^^^This^^^ started working magically, I have no idea why/how. So scratch that.

The next thing, when using this style, the paid subscription image does not show up. Works on the rest of my styles.

Hey there, I love this theme but for some reason on my portal page no matter what I try I can't get it to look right. I'm using vbadvanced and tried using full paths like someone mentioned earlier.

When you click on forums it works fine though. Any help would be much appreciated mate. Thanks.

I would love to use this theme, but I'm running 3.8.4. What are the chances of a 3.8.x update being released?

Is there anything I can do to update the theme myself? Are there resources someone could point me to that would help me do it myself? Examples? Guides?

I am having and issue with the Cyb Chatbox. Whenever I type into it on this theme, it is slow and lags.

Any ideas?

I hope this is updated for 4.0. Fantastic theme!

Just checking in to see if there is a healthy demand for this to be updated to 4.0. If so, I'll get 'er done.
