Hello everyone!

Here I present you my very first vBulletin Style.
Since upgrading my forums to 3.5.1 I needed a new style but I wanted something original, something own and finally I came up with this.

I was aiming at something a bit eyecandy but yet easy to the eye.
(While keeping the blueish colors of the old style I had, since we got used to that)

Maybe you like it

Some features of this style that make it different to the default style:
  • Borders around categories on forumhome to better seperate them from each other
  • Completely new (redesigned) navigation bar
  • Complete new set of status icons (for forums, posts and PMs)
  • Complete new set of buttons
  • There's a seperator between the sticky and the "normal" threads
  • An additional navigation/breadcrumb bar at the bottom of threadview for easier navigation.
    (don't have to scroll to the top to go the a parent forum of the current thread)

Attached are some screenshots, but you can also preview it live on my own forums --> here <--

Every feedback is apreciated so that my next style may get better since I already have some nice ideas
Oh, and if you reall go to install my style let me know!

You have to make the .GIF transparent where you want the background to shine through.

Somewhat like this:

Depends on what program you are using.
First of your gfx prog has to support transparent .GIFs.
All you do then is to draw your image with the desired transparency in your program and save/export it as .gif - the transparency is then saved with it.

Like said, HOW to do it depends on your gfx prog.
There are millions of tutorials out there on how to do it with most programs.

i use photoshop.

go to file > new, set dimensions to what ya want, and then look for the background box,
hit dropdown and choose transparent, that is how ya make a new one.

or just load the picture and use eraser, if it doesn't go tranparent, chage image mode.

Hey Hellcat, I just installed v3arcade today and I receive an error

line: 94
char: 12
error: invalid property value
code: 0
url: blah blah arcade.php

It appears only with this theme, Any Ideas or has anyone else seen this.
Allough I've asked or help on the arcade thread all indications are pointing at the theme.
Not 100% but close.

Thanks.
