Yeah I have it as well and I am waiting for the update to get the "hard to see text" issue fixed.

Ahh, much better. Now i can see what you are talking about. And no, i was not wanting to start up an argument about anything. I just wanted to check it out, and when i did, i saw no resemblance until you posted the image above.

So what about it, well simple, i think you should get credit for your work now that i do see what you mean. I am sure they will do it now that you have mentioned it, but i think it is something they should have done from the start. Yet again, as you can see for yourself, looks like this skin is pretty much dead.

I hope it works out for you and you do get proper credit.

If you all want to have a try at fixing some of the issues yourself. Try using FIREBUG. It is an addon for firefox that allows you to decode the issues visually and you can test them with out having to actually apply the changes to your board.

The you just copy and past the code into the additional.css file within the style manager of the skin. I have been able to fix almost all the issues.

Also I made the mistake of linking to the wrong skin. The skin looks like a Dark_vb_v2 skin rip and not a dark_vb (v1) rip.

PLEASE CREDIT MY WORK

I vaguely remember the black n light blue one from the past a long time ago.
Does it work on 4.0.5?
Any problems? If so, what are they?
Will it be updated to 4.0.6?
Is it free?

There are a number of problems that exist with this theme, namely white text on what backgrounds in Community Groups and Member List. The "Go To Last Post" actually go to the first.

It is however (shamefully) one of the best dark themes for vB v4. Most others have White text entry fields which cause huge problems for WYSIWYG text entry. My community has some Limited Sight Members, and this kind of feature isn't optional.

Don't suppose you want to pick up where you left off ... Lot of people would like this theme stabilised for vB v4, if you want to see the theme in action, it's the default on the link in my sig. Our community will certainly be happy to make a reasonable donation for your time & effort. I have reasonable HTML & CSS skills, but vBulletin pushes them far further than I am capable.

Are you asking me to develop a vb4 skin?

I'm asking for a solid version of this skin, or the knowledge to make the parts of this skin that work, work on other skins.

If you want to make an offer to repair this theme, then as I stated in my previous post, we'd be happy to make a reasonable donation. I am happy to discuss this with ANY theme developer that is happy to work on a budget =)

[axg]

I would agree with PreciseDemise, If we can get someone to work out all the bugs in this one and is willing to come out with an update when needed, we also would be willing to pitch in with a donation.

After all, if this is your skin, then there should not be a problem with you taking it back over and fixing it all.

DirtyBrown I think your theme actually looks better... pity you are not selling skins anymore I like your designs.

[WriteToEnlight]

.. Has this design been abandoned? Will this be updated for 4.0.6?
