Suite Style - vB4 Blue

Now updated to vB 4.0.7 as labeled in the new download

Here's a skin I am sort of modeling off of vb.org here, I am using threadmarkers from Shelley_c https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229462 (mostly because I am just not that fond of the huge images they are using in 4).

Preview Here

To install go to AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Download / Upload Styles > Import style XML file and browse for vb4_blue-style.xml and import it. Upload the images to your forum root images folder, so it should be forum/images/vb4_blue.

Q&A
Q: How do I enable the side blocks?
A: Admin CP > Settings > Options > Forum Sidebar and Block Options. You must also go to Forums & Moderators > Forum Blocks Manager and add your blocks before it will work.

Q: I don't have a CMS, will this still work for the forum only?
A: Yes.

Q: It's working for the forum but not the CMS?
A: Login from the front end, use the pencil icon and change the theme to the new style instead of default style.

Anything 4.0.2 or below please download vB4_Blue.zip

The text wrapping in first and last post in a thread is a bug in 4.0.1 and has nothing to do with your style. The bug is fixed in the upcoming 4.0.2

Hopefully this is updated for 4.0.1

You can always change the color for the header stylevar to match your logo, even though it's a gradient this should be close #07285e

Sure, in your AdminCP click on Styles & Templates > Style Manager > (vB4 Blue) select StyleVars from the dropdown menu > search for header_background and you can change the color there. Please click Install if you use this.

In Join Date, the fate displays with a % sign in front of each variant. Is there a way to edit this in templates?

Sounds like a modification, probably one that previously required you to manually edit the postbit. I would check back through them and see which one it is and apply it to the new template.
