Post new themes here!

I was thinking, with the new addition of themes, you have the option to see what others have come up with.  Post here if you have a theme you want others to see!  Let the creativity begin!  Cool  (and no, don't go looking at my home page, I don't have a theme...yet...)

I created a theme, but I hit a few issues while working on it:

  1. My background color choices have no affect on the "My Notes", "Alerts", "New Comments", "My Tracked Activity", "My Recent Activity", "photo storage", or "View My Public Profile" backgrounds.
  2. You don't have any fixed-width fonts in your list, like courier, courier new, or fixed-sys. These would be great choices for some themes.
  3. When I used the "Search Member's Theme" and left the box blank or typed in "Erik" and hit search it froze up. I didn't try other values.
How can others view my theme? When I view my public profile (as a guest) I don't see it.

the name of mine is chess class, so I guess search that. :-)

Bad news guys. I think we're going to have to delete everyones custom css files that have been created thus far. I apologize for any time wasted on this. :(

 

We're working on some fixes and it requires a bit of an overhaul on the file naming convention.

Sweet! Now, is there any way to fix the background colour of "My Notes", "My Tracked Activity", and "likesforests's Recent Activity"? Wink

I created a theme based on a background image, but the image won't show.  It flashes for a moment as the page is loading and then vanishes.  I'm using Firefox.  What am I doing wrong?

Also, it keeps saving my theme with the 'tiled' option even though I'm selecting centered.  Not that that matters much, I'll take tiled if it would get it to show at all.

"I created a theme based on a background image, but the image won't show

 

Yeah. I have a background pattern, but it's behind the background "color".  If there was some way to make one of the color choices "none" or "invisible" or even "transparent" ....

Thanks. I went to your home and saw you had copied the theme. I noticed it also copied the "Flying Rook" logo.  It doesn't matter... if you really want that particular logo rather than your own. Is there a way to copy someone's theme.. and then modify it?
