Black and Gold 3.5

As promised I have ported over my popular Black and Gold style from vB 3.0.X to vB 3.5 and I have also made some minor changes to it. I received a lot of requests to apply the category spacing modification to the old version; however, due to time constraints I was never able to get that completed but have included it with this release (If you would like a version without this please let me know and I can release it as well.) I also modified a few of the images but the majority of them remain the same as in the previous version.

As always please let me know of any issues with the style - I tested it pretty thoroughly and wasn't able to find anything out of place but I have missed things before.

Update 3/05/2006 Version 1.50
* Updated the .XML file for vBulletin 3.5.4.
* Added reworked status icons for the threads courtesy of dvsDave.

Update 11/20/2005 Version 1.40
* Updated the .XML file for vBulletin 3.5.1.
* Current users need just revert the two templates that changed since 3.5.1.

Update 10/24/2005 Version 1.30
* Added new IM icons created by Lecter - No changes made to the XML file.

Update 10/08/2005 Version 1.20
* Fixed display problem when using outer table widths of anything other than 100%
* Modified "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" template.

Update 9/29/2005 Version 1.10
* Added "attach.gif" and "spelling.gif" to the "/images/bgold/editor/" directory.
* Added matching subforum status icons.
* Modified "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" template.

Well, I'm not particularly good at this type of stuff, but I gave it a try. I don't know that they are perfect, but they look a bit better on the black background to me.

Until Andrew's schedule opens up, I'm attaching these on the chance they are useful for you guys.

Please let me know if there are problems, and I will look into them.

how do you make a new skin your default skin with same template settings and same hacks

You will need to run the installers for the hacks again to reinstall the templates - Most hacks include a feature in the installer to only install them. You can also just copy and paste the code from the old templates into new templates in the Black and Gold style - However, I think the first method I suggested would be easier.

Thanks mate - I'll add them to the .ZIP file for the style and add you as a contributor tomorrow from work. Sorry about the lack of support recently, but between both of my jobs and school I haven't had much free time.

My pleasure. Let me know if I should work on any other graphics.

I downloaded and installed your style and I love it, but it seems to be missing some images.

/misc/ tile_back.gif
/misc/ tile_back_left.gif
/misc/ ftile_back_left.gif
/misc/ tile_back_right.gif
/misc/ ftile_back_right.gif
/misc/left_middle.gif
/misc/left_bottom.gif
/misc/right_middle.gif
/misc/right_bottom.gif
/misc/right_top.gif
/misc/spacer.gif

Can you provide them?

[Andrew]

Yeah - I'll take a look and see what they are and how I missed that many images. On what page did you notice they were missing ?

On every page. If you goto my website at http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com and be sure to use internet explorer, you will see for yourself.

Any luck gettings these images? If you have a site that is using this style, I can get the images for myself.

I'm having a huge problem.
I'm using it with phpportal. When guests view the forum home page, the forums don't allow the column on the left and drops all the way to the bottom of the page.
It works fine for people that are logged in.

Edit: I think it may have something to do with some of my forums being members only and this theme adding the private column which makes it wider.
Is there anyway to fix it?

You most likely will need the change the column span values in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template (I think that's the right one but I'm not 100% sure on that.) It is only set to allow 5 or 6 columns wide at the moment (It varies because of the moderator column) - I think you'll need to use another conditional in that location to allow it to be 5, 6, or 7 columns wide.
