Whoever made the Halloween one.. it was a big hit. I changed the background to Black... but many users are still using it.

I've promised them a Christmas one... .but am not very stylesheet savvy.

Much appreciated if anyone gets creative and posts something.

Yeah,

I didn't clarify.

The user took that graphic of Allens... and added little tiny Christmas lights to the garland as well.

So it's a wee bit more festive.

LOL

I didn't even realize this when I posted this yesterday... I was at my new house... and didn't have the power cord to my laptop... so my time was very limited as I was running out of juice.

But the one my member modified:
[]https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/uploads/61174-46469-xbar30.gif[/]

The little lights twinkle and change color. It's subtle.

So subtle I didn't notice it myself yesterday.

Now there is a good use of animated gifs! I didn't notice them either until now. But most animated gifs are just obtrusive and in redirecting focus from the actual content, which is why I'm allergic to them.

*edit* don't mind what I said below, I'm sure Allen will do a much better job than the one i put together (didn't see Allen's reply )

I've put together the stylesheet on my site. (thx to JoshPet Member for the editing of the image, Ubbdev, for the background image and overall color design)
There some things I want to fix, but over all i like

If you want, I can post it up, if its alright with those people above..

(again, i take no credit for this, I'm sure they've put a lot of hard work in to each part)

http://www.prowrestlingforum.com/threads/index.php?Cat=

If do want me to put it up, i'll get to it after class (which i'm going to right now )

You'll need to add a table with a new class, so you don't have to have christmas threw out all of your stylesheets

Wonderful!

Thank you.

Some of my users always want a "large font" version.
Attached to this post is a large font version of your stylesheet.

You need to add this to the other download. I'm attaching just the large font stylesheet.

Also....

I thought the snowflakes were too subtle for my taste.

So I darkened up the image a bit. If anyone wants darker (less subtle) snowflakes.... the replacement snow.gif is attached.



Thanks again.... this is awesome!!

BTW - FYI

If anyone wants to "force" this stylesheet on all users.... choose it as the default in your theme file.... then run this SQL Query from your admin menu:

UPDATE w3t_Users
SET U_StyleSheet = 'usedefault'

Thanks Josh

My users too like large fonts.

Just by changing the stylesheet adds that bit much to the users satisfaction

Thanks to all

I'm not sure right now why its doing that
Maybe I can find out when I get back home.

You can fix the .tdheader links (its red on green, right now)
Add this (will change it to white on green):
code:

.tdheader A:LINK {

color: #ffffff;

}

.tdheader A:VISITED {

color: #ffffff;

}

.tdheader A:ACTIVE {

color: #ffffff;

}

Try this, I believe all of the red on green links are now white, and black on green should also be showing up as white.

this could be also stupid, but are you sure you upload the images to /images directory (bellow /stylesheet) AND updaload as a Binary? Try to upload again and make sure it is binary.
I make this kind of mistake every other time...

The name of "last new member" (on the very low of default template) is now white in a white background... since I'm new on this, can I have a little help on where I have to change it?
Also the last 24 hours, 7 days and 1 month 'last messages" are white in white background

Thank you

I don't know if anyone notices but the page numbers are all white on the Subject line and with a white table you can't see them.

I made the following changes so that you can see the page numbers.

.small A:LINK {
color: #ab4a3a;
}

.small A:VISITED {
color: #ab4a3a;
}

.small A:ACTIVE {
color: #ab4a3a;
}

I tweaked this a bit more.....

This is mostly caspe7's work... just tweaked it a bit based on feedback of my users.

I used more Red Text... and some of the boxes with the dark green background have been changed to a light green.

So instead of just green and white.... there are two shades of green in play now.... my users have found it a bit more pleasing and a bit easier to read.

I've attached a zip of caspe7's work (with my tweaks). This zip also includes a large font version.

You can see it in use at http://www.measurection.com/forums/ubbthreads.php

I noticed no slowdown but I switched to the non animated one just to be safe. I can do without the extra overhead and twinkling lights. a 2.5K file is alot better than 40K

6.2 + Color Suggestion.

I was playing around with the new table options for new posts and I was thinking of these colors.

.newlighttable {
background: #66CC99;
font-weight: bold;
}
.newdarktable {
background: #33FF66;
font-weight: bold;
}

I'm new with CSS and I was work all week long and I could not find where to fix it:
There is many 'black text' over 'dark green' and my guess is the text should be white. Where I change it?
Some places where it is happen:
1) Right below you see thread, on the description to all other threads, there is a white text with "Entire thread" and below it is a black text "Subject Posted by Posted on" in white.
2) bellow that, "additional information", is also in black.
How can I fix it?
Thank you

I was playing around with the color scheme because when you enter into a forum I get the Subject, Poster, Views Replies, Rating and Last post are red against a dark green back ground and also at the bottom the "Extra information" which is black is also in a dark green. Even though I have yet to find where I change this in the .css I had noticed that when I refresh my page I kept getting the same colors. Then I realized I had to delete the stored webpage’s in the browser.

I understood you had to 'Refresh' your client browser.
Well, it's not the problem on my side. I have the save red text in dark green in all my computers, in 3 different browsers, and some of my users are complaing about it.
I guess is something I have to do on .css file, but I don't know where

Check the thread entitled "color maps for threads" - that will help you find a lot of the areas you'd like to change
