Now updated to vB 4.0.7 as labeled in the new download
Here's a skin I am sort of modeling off of vb.org here, I am using threadmarkers from Shelley_c https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229462 (mostly because I am just not that fond of the huge images they are using in 4).
To install go to AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Download / Upload Styles > Import style XML file and browse for vb4_blue-style.xml and import it. Upload the images to your forum root images folder, so it should be forum/images/vb4_blue.
Q&A
Q: How do I enable the side blocks?
A: Admin CP > Settings > Options > Forum Sidebar and Block Options. You must also go to Forums & Moderators > Forum Blocks Manager and add your blocks before it will work.
Q: I don't have a CMS, will this still work for the forum only?
A: Yes.
Q: It's working for the forum but not the CMS?
A: Login from the front end, use the pencil icon and change the theme to the new style instead of default style.
Anything 4.0.2 or below please download vB4_Blue.zip
I did revert all templates - right after the upgrade. Still not working.
do it again, that's what happend with me. at the first time was broken but after did again it worked.
admincp > styles and templates > revert all templates
it will show you the templates that going to be reverted, after that it will ask you if you are sure, press yes.
* I know that after upgrade to 4.0.2 in admincp asked you to revert some templates. but what i did to make it work is revert all the templates.

try this and let me know.
I don't see that option in the ACP- these are my options there:
Style Manager
Search in Templates
Replacement Variable manager
Download/Upload Styles
Find Updated Templates
Is the "revert all" option maybe an add-on you've installed?
Thank you guys both for working this out, it was hard for me to troubleshoot without being able to replicate. I will add djbaxters fix for this to the first post. Great work guys!

No, it wasn't my fix. The credit should go to ToNetU.
Have a look for doc_background in you stylevars, that should do it for you. You can add a background image and define how it's displayed there too.
There it was! Thanks.
I'm confused about the background image for a specific forum, though. I want a specific background image displayed ONLY for a specific (VIP) forum. Any ideas?

I think the only way to do that is to apply a different style to a selected forum, you should see that option under the Forum Manager > Style Options. So what you could do is import this style again, but give it a different name, then change the background and only apply it to the specific forum you want.
