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

I don't get it... I followed the instructions in the readme file, but it didn't change anything besides the logo and the buttons :ermm:

When I changed those CSS attributes the spacing problem went away!! I actually like them set something closer to the default skin settings so I went with:

margin: 5px 15px 15px 15px;

I've also changed some of the buttons and gradients. I like a more subdued gradient and I'm not really into the standard drop shadow on text so I made the buttons smaller and flatter looking. I'm not done with the tweaks yet but I really appreciate the work you put into this skin, it is my favorite out of all those available for v3.5!!

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.

Okay thanks.

On another note, I don't mind if you completely take out all references to me in the footer, but I do not appreciate you rebranding it as your own custom design. I put a lot of work into it myself and don't see why you should receive all the credit.

I'll be releasing an update tomorrow with these new CSS attributes once I get on a decent computer.

It looks like you merged it with the default style or uploaded the images into the wrong directory.

I deleted all previous efforts and tried again, this time uploading the file to my server first, and it seems to work, thanks.

Hey wondering if this is a problem with the style or something else.

Anytime anyone that uses Internet Explorer logs on to the site when the change page it logs them out again.

That sounds like a problem with your cookie settings. I just browsed around my site in IE with no problems.
