Suite Style - vB4 Blue

Now updated to vB 4.0.7 as labeled in the new download

Here's a skin I am sort of modeling off of vb.org here, I am using threadmarkers from Shelley_c https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229462 (mostly because I am just not that fond of the huge images they are using in 4).

Preview Here

To install go to AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Download / Upload Styles > Import style XML file and browse for vb4_blue-style.xml and import it. Upload the images to your forum root images folder, so it should be forum/images/vb4_blue.

Q&A
Q: How do I enable the side blocks?
A: Admin CP > Settings > Options > Forum Sidebar and Block Options. You must also go to Forums & Moderators > Forum Blocks Manager and add your blocks before it will work.

Q: I don't have a CMS, will this still work for the forum only?
A: Yes.

Q: It's working for the forum but not the CMS?
A: Login from the front end, use the pencil icon and change the theme to the new style instead of default style.

Anything 4.0.2 or below please download vB4_Blue.zip

Seems to be missing

/images/vb4_blue/statusicon/thread_dot-16.png

I can't find the icon in the package.

Other than that, it looks great!

Thanks, good to know, for now if you want to rename one of the existing images to that and overwrite them that will work. The amount of forum marker images they've created for 4.0 is unbelievable.

I like your style very much and intend to use it for my new forum. Unfortunately the buttons with patriot style is not to good for me as I live in Switzerland... The forum is for marketing students. Any idea if I can get something like ordinary folders or any other smooth style that would fit in your design?
Thanks for your help!

Sure, you can do that through style vars after the style is installed.

Go to your Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > vB4 Blue
On the stylevar menu click on ImagePaths and look for:
Item Status Icon Folder and click "Revert" just above it.

That should set them back to default icons for you.

O.K. thanks!
The style works now on the forum but not on the homesite, altough it is setup as standard style.....?

All installed and works well now, thanks!!

Using as my default now. But I was really interested in the blocks on the right hand side of your screenshots for the forum.

I have Forum Blocks setup, but they never seem to display. What did you do to enable them to show?

Edit: Nvm, found it. Didn't scroll down far enough in the giant "show all options" page. Great design, thanks again!

I have never used IPB before but I'm glad this gives your users a familiar environment.

Glad you got it worked out, when I first used vB4 I had to look that one up myself lol.
