Topic: customization help?

Ok...I really, really like this board, and I'd like to implement it into my site. I'm not to keen on the current css files. Which ones do I need to modify to create a new color layout? AM I going to have to create a whole new style sheet, or can I modify a current one then rename it? Please help!

Re: customization help?

You can base your layout on an existing one.
If you want to base on Oxygen f.e., just copy Oxygen.css and imports/Oxygen_cs.css to whatever you like.
The latter contains the color definitions.

There is also a tool to create color schemes on the fly called SpinkBB that might do exactly what you want.

The German PunBB Site:
PunBB-forum.de

Re: customization help?

I tried the SpinkBB. It didn't work for me. Either that or I didn't follow the directions correctly. I created 2 seperate files and uploaded them, but it didn't work. Could you explain how to do the SpinkBB a little more for me?
Thanks!

Re: customization help?

You then have to select the style in your profile wink

Re: customization help?

I did exactly as the directions said, uploaded the files, and it's still not working! Why??? Please help!

Re: customization help?

Read my post, you have to change to the style in your profile

Re: customization help?

Smartys,

I did exactly as instructed at spinkbb. I even did what your post said. What's loading is not what I wanted, it looks terrible. I uploaded the saved css files exactly as instructed. Any ideas?

Re: customization help?

What's the forum?

The borders are suppose to be like a red color...but what you see is what's loading.

Re: customization help?

Because http://www.tetrahosting.net/punbb/style … kbb_cs.css doesn't exist

Re: customization help?

You didn't put the colour scheme stylesheet in the main styles folder rather than the imports folder did you?

Ok...I got that file Smartys! Now what about the other file?

Re: customization help?

You have two files
SpinkBB.css goes to the styles directory
spinkbb_cs.css goes to the styles/imports directory

Looking at your colour scheme I can't immediatelly see how it is much different from sulfur.

Paul,
Think the sulfur matches my site, or fits in well?
Thanks,
Jeff

Re: customization help?

It looks exactly the same, except the links in yours are colored differently (and poorly, at least IMO)
Edit: I take that back, it's slightly darker
