Xmas Rouge

This Skin was released in the past, it was removed due to various reasons, I am very pleased to be able to offer this Skin to this community as a free download.

I know it is a bit early for releasing a Christmas Skin but I am doing so as I am execting a rush of work in the next couple of weeks and will most likely not have the time to get it ready for you all, so here it is.

The download contains the logo .psd as well as button .psd's.


WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS
AND A
HAPPY NEW YEAR!


This Skin uses some of the extraordinary icons by: vistaicons


Added thanks button for those who need it, see in screenshots (right click and save as)

Personally I find 100% width looks bad with custom Skins, but as many people like full width most of my Skins can easily become 100%, follow this simple guide.

Go to the additional css in the style manager for Xmas Rouge.
FIND:

#wrap {

INLINE FIND:

 width: 1100px;

REPLACE WITH:

 width: 100%;

I've followed all the instructions to install this into my forum, vb.3.8.4 patch L1, made a themes folder first, done everything correctly regards the Readme file and when I preview its still the default theme showing.

I changed the image paths -

Example: images/buttons/ to themes/xmas_rouge/buttons

I changed all the image url's but it still wont show.

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry for the delay, been busy.
Okay, no problem, follow this precisely.

Click Admin link in footer.
In the menu to the left click the little arrow next to Styles & Templates to expand the submenu
Click Style Manager
Locate Xmas Rouge
To the right of Xmas Rouge you see a selection menu, it should already say All Style Options, click the GO button.
Now scroll down the page until you see a two large entry fields with the heading Additional CSS Definitions
In the 2nd box entitled (Customized in this Style), scroll down within the box until you see this:

/* WARNING DO NOT ALTER WRAP WIDTH */
#wrap {
	padding: 0 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
	min-width: 1100px;
    width: 1100px;
}

Change:

width: 1100px;

To:

width: 100%;

Scroll down to the actual bottom of the page and click save.

When you import the xml as a new Skin named Xmas Rouge you do not need to edit any variable paths, they are all handled by the xml.
Could you tell me how you imported the xml and can you link me to your site where the install failed.
