May be a bit... lol I still got about 4 or 5 more color schemes to go...<br /><br />Why not create one specific to your site as DaLanTech has done? Perhaps with corals and a few fish, some macro algae... LoL I can actually see a pretty cool layout in my mind for this...

Piece of cake! <br /><br /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Yes I do have a few things in mind with the images. However I was talking about the hack as I am following and I see what files you are talking about just a bit in the dark as to what to do with each one. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I assume once you let everyone of us who are not quite so gifted at coding at how you did it I could change the graphics to what I want.

I'm trying to deside if I want to combine some of the content of my generic header and the ubbtregistered and ubbtunregistered template files so that there is one wrapper around both. I know how (did it once to see how it would look). The only problems are: <br /> <br />

• I'd lose the ability to easily make new logo banners for the site. As often as I mess with things this one is a real problem LOL! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
• The admin control panel is dorked. I had to edit the login.php script in the ubbthreads/admin directory cause the top frame wasn't big enough. It's all fun and games until you go into the admin control panel and lose the menu at the top...

I think I'll just put a break tag at the end of the generic header for now and sleep on it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[/]<br /><br />What I did was leave the original html in the tbopen and tbclose template as is and added the html that I wanted for the border so that it was outside the original html in the two templates.<br /><br />The trick is to create a 3 x 3 table. The graphics are background images set by CSS classes (you'll have to make them). Plus you have to cut clear gif files for forground images that act as "place holders" so the background images display correctly. Then you cut the table where the center cell begins and add that html to the tbopen.tmpl file (above the original html in the tbopen.tmpl file). The rest of the table goes after the original html in the tbclose.tmpl file. If it's not against Info Pop copy write I could attach my templates to this thread so you can an idea of what I'm talking about. Or wait for JustDave to post his mod.<br /><br />The problem with this mod is that you just can't take someone elses templates and use them as is with your own graphics: If your images are not the same size as the ones that were used to design the templates then it won't work. You either have to install the whole mod (once it comes out) or reverse engineer what someone else has done and do it yourself (thank God for "view source"! JustDave, you should feel robbed <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ).

From looking at the source code I can see the tbopen and $tbclose are edited and class's defined of top left right bottom and images are assigned? At least that is my feable understanding of it so far. I guess I will wait and open up my test forum and play a bit. Best to wait till you document this to try it out on my main site.

[/]<br /><br />8 new class statements. One for each corner and side. Plus the changes to the tbopen and tbclose templates.<br /><br />Don't wait for me to document it: It's JustDaves mod. I wanted something unique so I figured it out on my own. If JustDave wants me to document this one I will, but it's up to him <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I know I am so use to hitting the last post you were the RE:<br /><br />That was directed at Dave. When he documents it I will try it out. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Although I may play a bit and figure it out on my own on my test site.

very nice Da lan. Your forum looks great!

Yes I read that. However he does great work just look at IIP. I can muddle through bad documentation. I setup my test site and am playing with everything now to see what I can come up with looking at the source code from yours and his sites. I beleive I know what to put in the tbopen and tbclosed templates. I do not know what I am to put in tablewrapper thing though.

I just cut and pasted the html I made for the wrap around in the IIP tablewrappers.tmpl file, again putting my script outside the original script in the template. <br /><br />I didn't mess with the script in table_center, table_header_no_center, and table_footer_no_center (I don't seem to use those three).

Even if it's a first attempt it's better than no attempt. With the number of users we have around on a regular basis I would think we can put together a 100 such skins this year, easy. I'll be adding a total of 7 or 8 (maybe more) different color schemes myself.<br /><br />Who ever is following this thread I challenge you to create just 1 skin to share with us all. There's 363 days left. (but don't wait till the there is only 1.. lol) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

OK, I'm up for doing the "How To" <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I have a skin already (just check the link in my signature if you're curious) but with my binary theme I'm not sure anyone would want it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I already tried it out I am having a problem with the corners but I got the general idea.

[]I already tried it out I am having a problem with the corners but I got the general idea. [/]<br /><br />Did you use a transparent gif file as a foreground image in the corners, that is the same height and width of your corner?

I thought I did I am going to redo it and see what I come up with.

guy's you don't have to wait for the release of these you now LMAO <br /><br />little thing called cache , the css & images will be there <br />then edit tbopen and tbclosed templates...<br />come on guy's thought you guy's are a little more advanced then that hehe .. sorry it's one of my bad habits to sort through my cache

[](thank God for "view source"! JustDave, you should feel robbed ).[/] <br /><br />I had a feeling but cache is so much better as you can grab css file <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well I really don't appreciate things being ripped without my consent. Thank You.
