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 just upgraded to v4.02, and reverted all templates...overall, most things seem to be fine. Strangely though, on the Who's Online page, the image URLs to display the icon legend point to .png files in the /vb4_blue/statusicon folder. However, these images only exist in .gif form here.

See attached. Is there something I've missed?
It should be like this, with images in the path.
/images/vb4_blue/statusicon/
you can change that in your stylevars by searching for statusicon.
These are .gif files in the mod .zip file. I've converted the images here for anyone who needs them, but I thought you might want to fix the .zip file to include these.

That's what I did, too. The style could use some rationalization. A lot of the images have duplicate PNG and GIF versions, sometimes with slightly different file names.

I see, thank you for sharing.

That siad, it's still a great vB4 style.
The statusicon directory for vb4.0 has over 120 images related to forum markers, wol, etc. and renaming and working in a different set is one of the more tedious and painstaking tasks I have ever undertaken with vb. Why in the world they have so many forum markers is beyond me, they really went out of their way to reinvent the wheel with this version and I think it's why so many styles for vb4 don't change their those images.
