I've been looking for a chrome/silver skin for a while and this is very very nice.

But I'm running v3.6.8.

Does anyone know of a skin like this for v3.6.8?

Thanks
Glen

Hey, I was testing the skin and I can't create a bigger logo that the default. When I set the height higher, the header stretches. How can I fix that?

Also, I like the default logo with the crown. How do I create a bigger logo? It's so small.

Thanks.

The actual logo part of it is easily resized because it's text and a photoshop shape. The problem you're going to run into is the header is bitmap and will blur. There's no real way to increase the logo size without the header stretching.

Attached is a gif of a resized logo. To accomplish this I just changed the image size of the logo psd to 200%.

So with the logo size bigger, there's no way of avoiding the header stretch? I want to make the logo bigger and have it centered. If everything goes well, i might want to buy the branding free license from u guys.

Turns out you can resize the header, with a little effort. I don't know exactly how high you want it, but attached is a PSD of the header at 200px. To change the height adjust the canvas size in photoshop, resize layer 2 accordingly, then move layers 3, 4, and 5 to the bottom of the canvas.

You'll then need to create a 1px wide image from the header to repeat and save it over /images/chromite/gradients/gradient_header.gif.

To center the header image just add text-align: center to the div#header selector in the CSS.

I created a 200px height for the /gradient_header.gif and it does not look good. I changed the image size with photoshop. Is there something I did wrong?

Screenshot?

dbirosel · #20 03-15-2008, 11:13 PM

Aww I changed it back to normal. It was the /gradient_header.gif image that did not match with the logo.gif. Can you create the gradient_header.gif image for me? I just changed the image size from 114 to 200 and I guess it stretched.

I did edit the css too to 200px.

Attached is a 200px high gradient_header.gif... there's no way for me to match it exactly without seeing the logo.
