change it to

Code:
.toplinks {
right: 90px;
z-index:999999;
}
You are done!

3. Countdown to Christmas: Demo
This will add a very simple countdown on your site, it made it to fit this xmas skin and I love it to be simply, if you are looking for more fancy countdown (bigger with effect), just wait, I'm working on a template modification for this.. Now here we go

In your "header" template:

Find:
Code:
<div id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header">
Add below:

Code:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

dateFuture = new Date(2011,11,24,0,00,0); //set time

function GetCount(){

        dateNow = new Date();                                                                        //grab current date
        amount = dateFuture.getTime() - dateNow.getTime();                //calc milliseconds between dates
        delete dateNow;

        // time is already past
        if(amount < 0){
                document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="Merry Christmas!";
        }
        // date is still good
        else{
                days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="";

                amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);//kill the "milliseconds" so just secs

                days=Math.floor(amount/86400);//days
                amount=amount%86400;

                hours=Math.floor(amount/3600);//hours
                amount=amount%3600;

                mins=Math.floor(amount/60);//minutes
                amount=amount%60;

                secs=Math.floor(amount);//seconds

                if(days != 0){out += days +" day"+((days!=1)?"s":"")+", ";}
                if(days != 0 || hours != 0){out += hours +" hours"+((hours!=1)?"":"")+", ";}
                if(days != 0 || hours != 0 || mins != 0){out += mins +" min"+((mins!=1)?"":"")+", ";}
                out += secs +" until Christmas!";
                document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML=out;

                setTimeout("GetCount()", 1000);
        }
}

window.onload=function(){GetCount();}//call when everything has loaded

//-->
</script>
<div style="color:#FFF;font-weight:bold;margin-left:110px;margin-top:10px;position:absolute;z-index:20000;" id="countbox"><!-- Countdown by thevBNinja --></div>

Q&A

[S]Q: Why don't you make a more fancy background?
A: We don't want your site will be something with load of graphics and full of colors.
You may want to do the background yourself with related content to your site. Anw if the request is high, I will make it.[/S] As requested, a SET of background will be available soon, mark as install to get the latest update.

Q: Does these add-ons slow down my forum?
YES and YES. I do not recommend you to use it expect the count down script. Or you can put it in your site just for one day like Xmas. It should be better.

Q: Why don't you intergate all these add-on to the style, it save us ton of time!
A: Because I want you are the one who decide what's needed for your site, each of add-ons here can be release as a seperate template mod but I included them all here for you, you can get exactly what you need faster and easier.

Countdown didn't work for me either in the fluid version, untill I put the script BELOW the header images in the header template. Figured that the header images were covering the timer.

Snow2 - I put it in headinclude_bottom instead of headinclude...

Hi guys,

This style was made and carefully tested on a 4.18 board. But it should work on all 4.1.x version. If there are any conflict with older version, just let me know and I will fix it.

There are no huge change between fixed and fluid version except the header. I will check it and let you know. The snow2 script should works without any problem as I'm putting it on the live demo the same time I wrote the guide.

Lastly, thank you for your support , any bug report or suggestions on the skin are very welcome.

Regards,

just make a custom logo of yours and upload/replace it with the current one in images/styles/xmas/logo.png.

Or you can put the url via stylevars/titleimage

Thank you for your support and have a great day!

Wow, This style has become very popular very fast..seems like a lot of people including me like it..I will be installing it next week..

Until vBNinja or anyone else here comes up with a decent looking background, you can use this one as tiles if you like, should look good

Not my work by the way, I think its from another old Christmas theme..

I'm expecting an upgrade tomorrow with set of background, improved scripts and maybe an update xm for the fluid if I could confirm these conflicts with older version.

Thank you again for your support with this style.

ThevBNinja

Morning ya'll. Could I impose on a few of you to post links to sites that have the theme and the add ons running? I tried to make my own christmas theme but it flopped. Depending on how this looks on a live site, I just might install it on mine.

There are live demo on the first post to each version and add-ons, isn't it enough to see it in action?

In anycase, you can test it on a localhost and I believe it took you only 10 minutes to download/install and configure the theme.
