Bingo! the new vB skin in 9 colors...

Here is my latest creation Bingo -the new professional vB style comes in 9 colors! Yes in 9 color variations...

For vb 3.8.3

View Demo

The highlight of this skin is it uses only one vB templates and 9 Cascading style sheet, it means you have to customise or update only one template each time not 9 and the colors changes without the page reload - this is done using Js...

There are 2 xml file, the only difference is the design on forum home page :

1) bingo - default forum home in vB3x.
2) bingo_forumhome_vb4 - the forum home looks similar to vb4x

Use the one you like...

Few instructions to follow:

To enable the latest Threads to display on the footer:

1. Go to 'vBulletin Options>vBulletin Options>External Data Provider'
2. Set 'Enable External Javascript' to 'Yes'
3. Set 'Cache Lifespan' to any given value between 1 to 1140 Rread the description for further information. For the quickest turnaround time on new threads, set to 1. Note: This causes the data provider to use maximum resources)
4. Set 'Maximum External Records' to 5 (recomended or the footer will look crap).

To add your blog link:

1. Go to 'Styles & Templates> header
2. Find > <a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[faq]</a>
3. next/below to that, insert the following code:

<!-- blog_menu -->
    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="blog_menu_menu" style="display:none">

Changing the logo to yours:

Psd files for the header logo and the footer logo are zipped for your convenience and you need to insert your logo or text and save in all 9 colors bg - which you will find in both psd...

Keep the same size for the logo as in psd, the same width and height or it may break the design...

Addtional info:

Button psd are provided in the zip for translation purpose and i have already created the "Thanks" and "Groan" buttons which are inside the button folder...

The skin passed the validation, 100% HTML 1.0 and CSS level 2.1

Wow. Very good work, Miner. I like it. Very clean and pro
The style with the first color (blue) is very beautiful, very clean.

I have set the dark blue as default, will see how to make the changes easy for you, will revert back later...

Goto header templates and find this

<a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[faq]</a>
after add the links needed:
<a href="#">Arcade</a>

do not add more then one or 2 links as it will break the header design when viewing in 1024 width, just check once you make the changes...

Hi,

The community link is not present in the 3.7x versions so goto edit templates and in header template find this

<li><a id="community" href="$show[nojs_link]#community"><span>$vbphrase[community]</span></a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("community", 1); </script></li>

delete the above and save...
