    Taking after all these other theme creating discussions, who wants to see mine?

    Download Today!
    http://www.soul-scape.com/projects/sstheme
    v1.03 for 0.9.2 and v1.0 for 0.9.3


    I created it specifically for my forum on Soul-Scape.com so it shares the same header-thing as the rest of my site.

    It's not much of a change I know, because the bottom of the theme is almost completely identical to Vanilla's default.

    Changes include:
    • Some nice tabs
    • A nice big New Discussion button.
    • More obviously hidden categories on the categories page.
    • A permanently off text-only box.
    • Different code and blockquote boxes.

    Any critique would be welcomed!

    I'm torn. Although I know it would be nice to know I contributed something, it was made specifically for our site, and it looks almost identical.

    http://www.soul-scape.com/

    I don't really want lots of forums floating around the net looking like our actual site...
  9.  # 9
    To be realistic, the amount of forums on the net that actually use Vanilla is very small. The Web is a very big place.

    I've decided I will open this up for download, so I'll just neatly repackage everything, and fix the little bugs.

    I havn't tested it yet, but it looks really nice. Great work Ben.

    I can't think of anything to add/ change at this point (remember. I havn't actually used it), but I will be sure to add my 2 cents when I give it a shot.

    Thanks Ben.

    ben: if i were you, id carry that blue/red theme right throughout the style, ie make the thread colours blue and light blue or whatever way it takes your fancy. i think it just looks a bit odd to have this nice blue header but then yellow threads
  24.  # 24
    Awesome Ben! Yes, I agree with nag... a nice touch would be to further match Soul-Scape theme colors into Vanilla. Do that and you would have accomplished the bes theme so far.

    I dig your theme - nice and streamlined keeping with the Vanilla logic. One small thing, you didn't theme the bug report - so whatever text you have above it bleeds in to your header background image. No biggie, I changed it - Just FYI.

    Thanks for sharing this.

    :D Thanks!

    I think I've found another bug though. In an open forum, like yours, when the user isn't logged in, the tabs appear too far down.

    I tried to replicate this on my own forum, but It works fine for me.

    I also used the ever-handy web developer extension for firefox to swap the CSS you're using with my current version and that seemed to fix the problem.

    I'll just update the download, and then you can try that out and see if it fixes anything.

    You've added a
    top:7px;
    to the tab code, this is pushing them over the edge of the whitespace.

    Try replacing that section with this.
    .TabOn, .TabOn:link, .TabOn:visited, .TabOn:hover,
    .TabOff, .TabOff:link, .TabOff:visited, .TabOff:hover {
    position: relative;
    padding: 8px 25px 8px 25px;
    padding-top: 2px;
    font-size: 11px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    That will produce those slightly widened tabs, and not infringe the whitespace,

    I suspect this is a Win IE issue. My modification makes it look correct in all the browsers I checked (safari, mac ie, camino/FF). I'm not terribly interested in win ie users (as you probably notice from my main page) so this works for me, but if you find a way to make it work for everyone (even those lame win ie people) I would be interested.

    Well I'm using Firefox, and it appeared odd for me.
  31.  # 31
    Thats rather odd. I've checked in FF1.5b, camino1.0a, safari 2.0.1, and mac ie 5.2 and all of them require the top: 7px to look correct. I don't have a windows pc available to check.

    I'm using FF1.0.7 on Windows XP
  33.  # 33
    thats really bizarre. Firefox should be the same regardless of platform. But when I don't see any problems with either FF 1.0.7 or FF 1.5b.
  34.  # 34
    Confirming the bug. FF 1.5b2 on Windows XP... looks weird.
  35.  # 35
    I don't quite understand how FF on mac could render a site differently than FF on windows, but that seems to be the case. Since my users are nearly all mac or linux users I'm not too concerned about windows rendering issues, but just the pure oddity of the situation does make me want o track it down.

    Can someone investigate this with FF on linux?

    All fixed now.

    Iam having some problems with Opera - the tabs are too far down :(

    I noticed http://www.soul-scape.com/ doesn't have this - can someone please tell me the fix? I don't want to go through the file to find out what has changed. Thanks! :)

    Soul-Scape.com has different code to vanilla, so the style for that has no direct connection to the theme. They just look the same.

    I know what the problem is, so I'll just get working on it.
    I think I've fixed it. I don't have Opera so could someone check it for me please?

    If not, what did you change? :)

    I really hate to double post.. :(

    Here's the solution:

    add: padding: 0;

    to

    body {
    ...
    }


    and it'll work in Opera :)

    Well, that wasn't the solution I came up with. But nevermind!
    Thanks for the fix.

    The new version, with that small change, is now up. Let's call it version 1.03

    Also, anyone who downloaded it very recently may want to just check the first few lines of the CSS.
    I foolishly put in the absolute path for my header image, instead of the relative path for the header image in your folder.

    To anyone who's interested.

    The Soul-Scape theme is now avaliable for 0.9.3


    I would greatly appreciate any feedback, and if someone could test it in Opera and tell me what breaks that would be great.

    Enjoy!

    Hmm.. I've just realised I'll have to do this again quite soon. As soon as the collective has redesigned all the xhtml.

    can someone please tell me how to reduce the blue space above the tabs a little bit?

    Also How can I put an image in that area so that it will look good? I want to make a header and put it in there.

    Please let me know both thing things :D
