Black and Gold 3.5

As promised I have ported over my popular Black and Gold style from vB 3.0.X to vB 3.5 and I have also made some minor changes to it. I received a lot of requests to apply the category spacing modification to the old version; however, due to time constraints I was never able to get that completed but have included it with this release (If you would like a version without this please let me know and I can release it as well.) I also modified a few of the images but the majority of them remain the same as in the previous version.

As always please let me know of any issues with the style - I tested it pretty thoroughly and wasn't able to find anything out of place but I have missed things before.

* Updated the .XML file for vBulletin 3.5.4.

After you uploaded/installed your style in the ACP, you have to upload manualy the needed images. And then to make it show you can either set it as Default Style for your board, or if your users are allowed to select a style you should have a Style Selector Box at the lower left of your board.

Here's a set of instructions I wrote that I found buried in this thread - Hope it helps you out:

ooo, thanks you guys! One shot, I believe my Black and Gold images are all showing up, it's some left over light blue and white background from the default style that I still see..

Thanks so much Andrew, I've read the instructions. That's exactly what I did, and I did it again just in case and the light blue and white are still there. I see the black and gold images, I just don't see the black background in some areas.. I do see new yellow text, but it is over white background. It's as if only half of the style .xml is showing up. Some default colors are over-riding it or something.

Could this be because I have Vb 3.5.2 and the style is version 3.5.1 ?

or do I need to delete the default style or something? I do show both default style and Black and Gold style in my style manager.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder. It's as if some light blue from the default style is overiding the new style. Any ideas?

(forgive me everyone, this is my first forum)

Did you add it as a new style or as a child to the default style ?

[studiodrama]

Wow Andrew.... i was just looking at my forum... and i see a style picker at the bottom left of my forum.. It was on default style. I chose black and gold and now everything is perfect!!!!!

Wow, ok, now I will try to remove the user option to chose a style.. hopefully I can do that.

Thank you so much for helping me... I can rest easy now... as soon as i remove the chooser.. lol

Ty so much

Andrew this style rocks! I am trying to base a Drupal theme off this for a vB + Drupal installation. Has anybody else done this and Andrew, would you be interested in helping?

[Andrew]

What's Drupal ??? Depending on what it is I could prolly help you out, but it will have to wait until Monday (I have final exams tomorrow through Friday, and my band has gigs booked all weekend.) Drop me a PM with a little more info on the project, and I'll see what I can do.
