SOFTWARE USAGE: vB 3.6 current ( upGraded as vB upgrades )
PSD SUPPLIED: Yes - ones needed to rework the style , logo - right logo
CHANGES MADE UPON REQUEST: No - but -will change name on logos

Demos : @ homepage ->
3.6 revisted white - fixed

vBulletin did a great job on the style , just did a little reworked a little of this and that .
Removed the hard corners , rounded tops - a footer & page corners - changed the border to a bit softer color .
font for the header is not what they used .
if you know what it is will rework the psds for them .

SCREEN SHOT:

Attachment 58181

no real changes eXcept for the headers and footers , border - a rounded version of .. .
as many if not all of the templates that could be edited have been to keep the style through out the entire forum - user cp , mod options registration ect .

other mods :
thread starter in post bit
highlighted stickies and announcements
sub forums in columns
and ?. .

style uses the default vB 3.6 images - we just are adding more to the misc dir of the default style .
additional images and some misc ones were improvised .

enjoy

templates for some mods are available , to keep the style uniform @ site .

the code for top in the footer templat is :

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">$vbphrase[top]</a>

the button goes/ is upload to the buttons dir .

to make it a button or use it any place else can use :

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/_top.gif" alt="top of page" border="0" /></a>

if the button is out of line or not aligned try removing ' class="inlineimg" "

Is there a expanded version for the white style coming?

Edit:
My bad, I see there's one in the zip file ... thanks! Just wished that I could overwrite the default one and retain all of the hacks edits I made to it.

Thanks. I downloaded both the Fixed and Fluid versions in white. Look Great!


On this link: http://gfxstyles.com/?styleid=176
You have RECENT THREADS in the lower left hand column. How can I add that to my site?

On my main Forum Page I have Forum Names acting as Categories. When clicking on these Categories, Additional Subforums acting as Categories then appear. These Categories then have Subforums. 3 Levels Deep.

On the second level, the Frames for the Subforums acting as Categories are shrunk from top to bottom (height).

Can you tell me how to increase the height? These work fine in the vBulletin Default? In addition, can you tell me how to change the color of just these Categories (subforums)?

If I shouldn't be asking this question, please advise, as I am new. I've now downloaded 2 different skins, both of which are having challenges when I use Categories...going 3 levels deep. Do forum managers not go this deep normally? Is that why I am having problems?

Thanks, Thomas

Here is a link ...I turned the site on so you could take a look. Thanks!

Take a look at the First Main Category TEST 1 the 2nd level categories shrink to hide the descriptive.

Take a look at the Second Main Category TEST 2. When in the 2nd level, the categories are also shrunk, in addition the framwork around the SubForum also disapears when using the GFX style vs. the vBulletin default?

Finally. Take a look at the Suforum's which appear on the second level with both TEST 1 and TEST 2. The Subforum's don't look like subforums as they do in the vBulletin Default. The description and last posts aren't aligning correctly?

Thanks again. I look forward to hearing from you.

when using split forum categories a lay out or order has to be maintained :
Reference this thread : http://gfxstyles.com/f17/before-you-buy-skin-style-460/

Known problems :
1. All forums Must" have a Category header, main title in which to list the forums under or they will not display right .
- - Our styles are of the split forum type and must have this Category header .
This can be remedied by changing code and would be a custom set up . This setup may be effected by adding new forums and categories and may or may not need a code change every time a forum is added or a layout change is needed .

2. The category Header is a must , the forums 'Must" be arranged :
- - All Category header with only forums under it .
- - A category header with only categories under it and no forums.
- - With all of the forums or forum 'first' , then the categories at the bottom of the forum listing .
again this can be altered with a custom code that may need editing when forums or a layout change is needed .

90% of people dont' need to worry about these problems, but you need to be aware of them and the problems that it can cause .

its' just a matter of a slight re arranging of the forum category layout .
