Quote:

Version 4.x of this template for vB4 uses no tables instead i decided to use CSS3 border-image, unfortunately Internet Explorer does not support border-image so the left and right border will not appear in IE, i added the top and bottom borders in IE with <!--[if IE]>

If you change the size of the logo (vbulletin4_logo.png) you will need to edit the header template and change the width to keep the logo centered perfectly:

In version 4.2.5 the border code was replaced to work with newer CSS3, with the older code the borders would not show in many browsers.

If anybody finds any bugs or needs support please post in this thread and not via private message. Thank you

looks great. going to install and see how my users like it.

EDIT- Might want to update the readme to reflect the new Darkness3 directory name. "1: Upload images to "*your forums*/images/Darkness/"

Thanks everyone, and thanks for taking the time to post some of the bugs i missed.
I am also now aware that the attachment popup needs to be themed as well.

Believe it or not the border around the page is created using one simple image:

You can change the border by simple modifying this image.

If you want to have more control you will need to edit the CSS for <div id="darkbord">

Code:

#darkbord {
border: 11px;
-webkit-border-image: url(images/Darkness3/darkness3/border.png) 11 11 11 11 repeat repeat;
-moz-border-image: url(images/Darkness3/darkness3/border.png) 11 11 11 11 repeat repeat;
}

Which is hardcoded into the CSS file vbulletin.css which can be modified by searching the template files.

Also note that i had to add the top and bottom border in Internet Explorer with:

Code:

<!--[if IE]>
<div id="iesplit"></div>
<![endif]-->

But you can also edit this by modifying the image:

or the CSS id="iesplit"

Hope this helps
