vBulletin_Dark Theme

First off this is my first style I had made and released to the public so please report any errors and I'll do my best to fix this.

Second I would like to give credit where credit is due most of the buttons came from Shelley_c her graphics called Dark Glossy Buttons and her wonderful Private Message Icons.

I would also like to thank Blumen Studios (Art & Design) for pushing me forward in designing this style.

I hope that you all will download and install the style to your forums. I made it as best as I could and worked pretty hard in getting all the colors just right.


New Install:
Please upload "vb_Dark" folder to your forum directory folder.

Once uploaded install the theme by using the vb_Dark.xml
*IF* images do not work please select the paths in the:
Styles & Templates > Style Manager > <<VB DARK THEME >> StyleVars

Make sure all images point to vB_Dark/images/* Replace the * with (Buttons, Statsicons, Attach, Etc...)


Notice: You will see this release in vBulletin 3.7 Once it turns gold!



Live Demo: Blumen Studios (Art & Design) LLC
(If you would like to have your forum listed as a live demo please private message me)


Release Update:
12/31/07: Added "Icons" folder that was not included in theme

PLEASE MARK INSTALL!

$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

Wheres all the stuff that's normally in the default style?

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
	<td align="$stylevar[right]">
		&nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

Should work.

Installed. Thanking you kindly for that sir - you's vewy clever!

As a basic chickster and new to the whole forum running thang, i understand i have to re-upload the original banner part from VBully, but with your template, its quite narrow on the page.. lots of black space to the sides, is there any way of filling that? or can it be used for advertisements?

It can be used for both. Just work with the header template to do what your looking for.

Weapon, i appreciate your assistance. But, being a non-technical blonde I'm at a disadvantage. You see, we have your template (which is fab btw) but the banner is posing a problem. Where and how do we download our designed one to your template? I've read 16 pages of 'header template' help, and its messed with my head

Could you please tell me how, as if you were talking to a child

Thanking you kindly. x
