Forum Theme

[MJKlein]

As you all probably know, I basically threw this board up in a few hours. I haven't really had time to investigate the many themes that are available.

Many of you have more experience using phpbb sites than I do, so please use the Suggestions Forum to tell me what themes you prefer. phpbb allows the administrator to install many themes and let the users decide which one they want to use.

As an experiment, I have installed a dark theme that you can try out. Click on your username dropdown (upper right under the Search bar) and select User Control Panel. You will find the option to change your theme there.

Thanks everyone!

I must be blind, MJ. I can't find it. What tab is it listed in the User Control Panel?

[MJKlein]

Board Preferences, My Board Style field.

Thanks MJ. I prefer the prosilver

[MJKlein]

There are dark versions of prosilver.

phpbb calls themes "styles" but I used the term theme because most people understand what that is.

Here is a list of styles in their database: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styles-2

And this is a styles demo, where you can choose one and see what it looks like on a phpbb board: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... r/demo/3.2

The demo is cool because you can press the nav buttons < > and move between the styles. The style name is to the right, next to the Details and Download buttons.

Any cool style that you like, give me the name in the Suggestions Forum and I'll install it. I'll keep the default style for guests and users will be able to change it once they create an account.

We are also going to need a logo. I can do vector and raster graphics but I'm an audio guy, not a visual guy. The best format for a logo is .SVG (scalable vector graphic) but .png also works. If anyone would like to take a shot at a logo, go for it.

I uninstalled all those crazy styles. I upgraded the board and it wasn't worth it, having to ftp to upload them again, around 1,500 files. There are 2 additional styles besides "prosilver" - a dark and Special Edition version. I use the SE myself. Thanks.
