Punbb Skins

I'll be using the site to throw around some design ideas for Punbb 1.2 and 1.3 so I hope a few of you will join in if something takes your interest.

The skin I'm using is also available for download on my site and over at Punres, suggestions for improvement are welcome smile

The "Recycled" skin was intended for use on a client site but I just couldn't get it to look right. Throw in some fish and it becomes "Recycled_Aquatic" big_smile



to note : The goldfish image is used with the written permission of Template World, and the skin is partly based upon their free template that can be seen here. The skin is also based on Nosebleed for phpbb2 by Mike Lothar. Full credits available in skin source smile

Nothing at all, I've released the skin over at punres already smile Instead of only editing style.css and style_cs.css though I wanted to start making slightly more difficult (for me anyway) skins so will be editing the imports/base.css file (which can't be uploaded at punres, unless copied directly into the _cs.css file wink), viewtopic, viewforum etc.

The site is mainly my testing ground for new ideas but I figured I may as well make it into a site and post up what I find, instead of filling up punres with my useless junk lol.

Re: Punbb Skins

The  skin looks great. However, you might want to make the column's titles (Topic, Posts, etc.) a little bit darker or just get rid of them and make the bottom box's text smaller.

Good job.

Thanks for the kind words smile Making the text darker threw out the balance of the page imo, and removing it meant that visitors wouldn't know what the numbers displayed in the columns represented hmm

If anyone uses the skin and wants to change the text colour open 'imports/Recycled_Aquatic_cs.css' and find Line 28:

thead{color:#cccccc}

Change to:

thead{color:#000000} /*Change 000000 to hex code of your choosing*/

On viewforum.php I removed the columns and column titles entirely which you can view here smile

Re: Punbb Skins

Made a good start on updating the skin for 1.3 since I couldn't get to sleep, though not too sure how useful the css will actually be as 1.3 progresses through Beta hmm

Only really worked on the homepage but finding it nice and easy to style so far smile

Re: Punbb Skins

The bottom boxes (Guests online, etc. and Show recent posts, etc.) text looks big to me... I'm using IE7. (Version 1.2 skin)

I like the v1.3 skin better than the v1.2 big_smile smoother look

Re: Punbb Skins

Love the 1.3 for some reason it's not the same

Re: Punbb Skins

The blue links in 1.3 are much better suited to the skin than the red links found in the 1.2 version because of the whole "aquatic" theme. Originally the banner was red though so the red links suited it much better:

It's pretty easy to change the colour of the links but will make both versions available shortly, for 1.2 and 1.3 smile

Re: Punbb Skins

I created the following skin for a friend, entitled "Frozen Age" due it being made to suit the Frozenage template by NodeThirtyThree.

The skin can be downloaded here.

If you like the skin please consider dropping by punbbskins and saying hello big_smile Registered members can preview the skin in action by selecting the skin from their profile ~ or by visiting punres tongue

(So far both skins Ive released have ended up being blue - the next skin won't be i promise)

Re: Punbb Skins

OOOh! "Frozen Age" looks like a rilly expensive designer job. Well done.
