Midnight Blue

This is my first style ever. I designed it for one of my sites and decided to release it for everyone. If there are any errors, let me know, and I will try to fix them as fast as I can.

I took a few screenshots of my test forum using the skin to give you all a preview. I included the PSDs in the zip so you can change the header and whatnot.

Please click Install if you use this style

History:
1.05
Added flat buttons through CSS

1.04
Fixed error with code display in lower resolutions with legacy postbit.
Edit inline moderation CSS to make it more readable.
Edited PM images to display without rough edges on the light background.

1.03
Added a few new CSS lines to make links on forms and in the body easier to read against the background.

1.02
Small CSS fix
Fixed hardcoded image paths (due to vBadvanced)

1.00
Initial release

Awesome Skin, Well done!!

Though there is a problem in having the other view (avatar etc displayed to the left) whenever a code tag is being used there seems to be a distance from the first user's post to the others. Hard to explain it as I don't have the right words but please take a look at the following screenshot and you'll understand exactly what I am trying to say .
I'm not sure how to rectify this problem so could you please help me on how to fix it?



Thanks

The error is actually caused by the user's screen size, but I fixed it for you thinking most people run at around 1024x768.

Could you tell me how to update the skin without re-installing it all over again please .

Btw, I checked by resizing my screen to 800 x 600 and it had no effect on the distance. I'm quite sure it has to do with the skin itself cause it comes out PERFECT on VB Default skin. Each time a code tag is used it always has that distance.

Well, it worked for me perfectly when I increased my display to 1280x1024.

Either way, to change it manually, go to Style Manager -> Midnight Blue -> StyleVars and then change the code block width to whatever number you want. (I changed it to 580px)

I don't know why it didn't work anyways. I didn't edit any default templates besides the header and footer, which should have nothing to do with the postbit.

THANKS! That did the job!! I set it to 580px now it's all perfect

This skin is great, I was wondering about when I go to post a reply there is that same spacing problem in the Reply box, I haven't tried changing anything yet though as indicated above. Also I would like to have the width of the forum use up 100% of the width like the default skin does. I use 1280 x 1024 as my resolution if this makes a difference.

Is this happening in IE? If so, I know the problem you are talking about, and I have no clue how to fix it. Like I said, to make this style, I mostly edited the images and some CSS. I only actually changed two templates, so I have no idea why some of these errors are popping up. If a more advanced skinner were to want to try to help me figure out why there is that random space, I would be grateful. Strangely, not all instances of IE have this error because I have tried it on multiple computers. If this is not the same error you are talking about, it is new to me, and if so, take a screenshot and let me know.

To make it use 100% of the width, just to go to Style Manager -> Midnight Blue -> Main CSS. Then in the Body CSS (the first box) replace the "Extra CSS Attributes" with this:

margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px;

I actually like the look of this, so whenever I update the skin again, I'll be sure to include an XML file for this version of the style.
