Instructions:

First of all, you HAVE to install that hack.
Link : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93415 (need vB 3.5 RC)

It will allow png picture transparency work with Internet Explorer.

Then download the zip file and follow the instructions:

1. Login to your Admin Control Panel
2. In the Styles & Templates category, click on Style Manager and expand the group of templates in your prefered style, by clicking on the [<<>>] button.
3. Select the group of templates BB Code Layout. Click the 'Expand/Collapse' button, or double-click the group name to expand or collapse the BB Code Layout ? group of templates.
3. Now select the template bbcode_quote. Double-click the template name or click the 'Customize' button to edit this template.
4. Replace all the content in the template field withd the code provided in the txt file in the zip below.
5. Upload the folder "quotes" (or quotestr) containing all the images to your misc images directory of your style :

[style]/images/misc

Notes:

>You have to increase the amount of images to use in a post through your admin cp, because this mod use images and it counts as post images.
>If new png quotes pictures don?t appear immediately in your old messages, don?t panic and just wait. If you're hurry, just write a new message and it will work.
>I give you the PDF file so that you can modify if you want the quotes. Now it?s easy to do. I give you also a picture that helps you to localise where each segment of the PSD goes.
>Of course i?ve tested this hack, both in IE and Mozilla, and it works great.

Bonus
Once installed, you can make your code, html and php tags the same look if you want. Just go into the option directory included in the zip file, and replace the templates of each of this tags by the content of the text files.
N.B : For those three bbcode, the width depends on the value indicated in "All Style option" under "Code Block Width (pixels)".

Check if you put pictures directory (quotes or quotestr) in your style misc directory. It should work. Be more precise, i will help you.

So so sorry, i've made a mistake in the instructions :

you do have to put quotes or quotestr (transparent version) directory in :
[style]/images/misc

It should work now.

Use this :

<font color="#000000"> </font>

Step 1
You want to change text color of "Quote : (...)" into black ?
Do this in the code

Find

$vbphrase[quote]:

and change it to

<font color="#000000">$vbphrase[quote]:</font>

Step 2
Use the same technic for

$vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x]

->

<font color="#000000">$vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x]</font>

Step 3
And last for the text :

$message

->

<font color="#000000">$message</font>

P.S : $message variable appears two times in the code.

It works for me... Have you tried to make another quote ? I mean when you make a modification, you often have to quote another message to see the result. If you want send me a PM with the adress of your site, i'll have a look.

Installed and working fine.. I had to tweak the optional templates, (php/html/code) tags to get the fixed width font back on there. If the author doesn't mind, I would release those fixes. >_> (My edits is for the trans 70% version.)
