face it dude it does not work,
whether you upload to "forum folder root", "public html root" or
"yoursite/root" they all act as the root to your soft ware.
when you say: Upload the "Black-Blue" folder to your FORUM ROOT directory.
what i have wrote above is where you would upload the image folder "Black-Blue" to.
this day an age you should not have to go in to edit shi.t to make a style work.
now every other bloody style on this forum vb-org either says:
upload image folder to forum root - forum root/images - forum root/styles - forum root/images/styles.
no one seems to have any problems do they?

anyone else get this style installed without editing the Image Paths, which i have all ready tryed.

I'm sorry, but it does work. I have installed it on my board fine, and also done a fresh install on a test board, without editing anything contained within the zip file. It is only because you could not get it to work that I asked you for the full address as to where you uploaded the folder, so I could check to see that it was the right location.

If your forums are at www.yoursite.com then black-blue should be uploaded to www.yoursite.com/black-blue. If your forums are at www.yoursite.com/forum, then then black-blue should be uploaded to www.yoursite.com/forum/black-blue.

ok, hears where you ++++ed up ok!

you have it that the "Image Paths" all say - black-blue/buttons, black-blue/statusicon etc:
now when i change to caps eg: Black-Blue/buttons - Black-Blue/statusicon
the style works.
now it all comes down to the caps ha? maybe change your folder name to black-blue (no caps)
and case closed.

edit...also change the black-blue/misc/Title.png to title.png (no Caps)

now everything works great

Mystery solved! Case sensitivity isn't a problem on my server, so that's why I wasn't aware of such a problem. I've repackage the zip with the appropriate cases to eliminate any such problem for other users. Thanks for the info.

Glad that you finally got it to work .
