Blue is the Colour

No support by the author.

Installation:
Upload the style via AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Upload/Download Styles
Upload the graphics files to styles/blueisthecolour/images/. I only included changed graphics, so for the editor graphics etc you'll either have to upload them to that folder as well, or change the StyleVars settings.


About
Another blue style, sorry. This is style constructed for my own personal forum, originally not intended to be spread around (hence the lack of decent PSD records, sorry but there are none I can reasonably distribute at the moment. ) but what the hell, bit of publicity never hurt anyone.

It is designed to be, in essence a visual upgrade of the default vBulletin style, hence in some places I've made use of the original images. While I think the default layout and organisation of the style is excellent, frankly I find the graphical side very weak. So I wanted to keep the basics, just make it more vibrant. It turnd out rather more "friendly" than I intended, so maybe it would suit a family site or a casual/personal forum best.


Live Demo

You can view a live, but more customised, version here:
http://forumwhatever.com


Bonus!

Because I have a few customisations on my site, I have included any extra graphics I've used in the zip file with the rest as a freebie bonus, including the banner and forum icon masks I used to achieve the fuzzed-edge look on my own forum. So if you nose around the folders and find something you don't recognise, that's why.


Important note:
This is a style that will not work properly on IE6 or lower. Any other non-Microsoft browser from the last few years should have no problems. The reason for this is that all the GIFs are actually 24-bit PNGs with advanced gradient transparency, which IE browsers could not handle until recently. IE6 will show a grey box around each icon. However, if you search this site there are a few PNG hacks which might work for you and will allow older IE users to see graphics just the same as everyone else.

Why would I do this? Well, the advanced transparency means no jagged edges as you see with most transparent buttons (look at the rounded collapse buttons in vB's default theme if you don't know what I mean) and also means you can change the colours to anything you like and the buttons will still blend perfectly. It was done for my (and therefore your) ease of customisation down the road.

Thanks for this it looks great but, I have 3.64 installed and when I go to import the xml files it says :

"This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.
Your version: 3.6.4
File version: 3.6.3"

Any ideas?

Thanks

There's an option to ignore the style version when you import the style. Just set it to yes.
