Looks cool Dave <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I promised Bookie we'd check out his new template designs for here... but we should be able to work several in if they are using css <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well there are some size limits as far as the clear gif files I have holding the wrappers to a set size. But, while I was playing, I figured it should be easy to allow for multiple wrappers like IIP has and their use could be based on the selected stylesheet. That would be the ticket. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Looks Good Dave, <br /><br /> I guess with the new changes in 6.2 this allows for greater customization and with CSS things are even more so customizable.<br /><br /> How are the page load times compared to a regular page?<br /><br /> I take it there are extensive template changes to apply something like this or is all the work in the CSS file?

The files I changed are:<br /><br />ubbthreads/templates/default - tbopen.tmpl<br />ubbthreads/templates/default - tbclose.tmpl<br />ubbthreads/pals/tablewrappers.tmpl<br /><br />And a customized stylesheet.<br /><br />Plus creating a number of graphics.<br /><br /><br /><br />The page load times? Nothing really has changed in that it's just html added to the templates. That makes the page size larger so the there's more to transfer from the server to the browser.

Thats cool so its not as extensive as it sounds LOL<br /><br />I remember the old days of template mods and having to change every file. CSS makes it so much easy I imagine.

Ok made a purple set. Will put together a few more yet in between doing everything else... lol<br /><br />Have a look and let me know if it's gawd awfull ugly... lol or not. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Cool.<br /><br />I prefer the Blue.... but the purple isn't bad. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I like the blue better too... lol <br /><br />I may make an orangish one too... that should kill Mr Rogers... lol<br /><br />Actually... they probably all would burn his retinas... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> oh well.. lol

Ah, let his retnas burn. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

WOWOW !!! I love your design, I hope one day I'll be able to do something like this in my website too !<br /><br />Is there any chance to do it all in CSS with no templates editing ?

You can accomplish a lot with the style sheets but editing the wrappers that enclose the blocks really helps the most in changing the looks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />When I have enough of them put together I'll be putting the package up here so everyone else can have some fun and learn how easy it is to change things now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thank you, you're great !!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Your welcome <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br />

I'm very interested in this well! Instructions on how to do this type of mod would be very valuable! I don't like using someone elses templates cause I don't want my site to look like somone elses, but having the ability to do this type of mod myself would be very <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

It's actually much easier now with .threads 6.2<br /><br />You'll be able to go over the my files and get the idea of how it's done. I would try and write a "how to" but I absolutely hate trying to document something... lol Perhaps once Josh gets a hold of these he can put something together in the "How To" secton <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah good idea.<br /><br />I've got some 6.2 updating to do in there. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />When I first looked at your templates, I figured modifications were extensive. But in theory you only needed to modify 2 files, the tbopen.tmpl and tbclose.tmpl file. <br /><br />The other 2 that you needed to edit fixed table wrapper bugs etc.. in threads. They should be fixed in the next release as Dave has given Rick the fixed files. <br /><br />That is a major improvement in 6.2, using the table wrappers. Can't remember if it was you, or Allen (or both) who suggested it. But that's a really powerful change to threads. <br /><br /><img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

After I posted I opened up the tbopen and tbclose templates and I think I know how to do it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />You, not document your scripting?! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><br />(I figure giving the zip file a name is plenty of documentation... lol)

Orange is looking good to me... lol Perhaps my retinas are burnt beyond repair or something...

LOL<br /><br />Actually that's not too bad. The orange isn't obnoxiously bright. Might be a good choice for Halloween. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
