fisubice updated
Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 1:45 amI have updated fisubice to use separate images for the diferent color scheme's. As most are probably aware, Okki was instrumental in the release of IM 140. Without his work it may never have made it to release, so kuddo's to you Okki! You may not be aware that the diferent color scheme's (fisub_blue, fisub_orange and fisub_grey) were made by him. I think it was a great idea to include choices, and to show what could be done with a single, simple template. The only drawback that I found was that the way it was written, you were limited to a single set of images. I have not talked to okki about this, but it was probably step 1 toward Adrians idea of having transparent images, so that template color changes could be contained completely in the .css files. What I have done is to incorporate color files inside the images directory (ie... templates/fisubice/images/blue) I re wrote fisubice.cfg and theme_info.cfg to reflect these changes. What this has allowed me to do is add a complete new color scheme in about 20 minutes (I have added fisubiceGreen and fisubiceBlack) Every color scheme is based on the original fisubice.css and uses only color modified fisubice images. Since there are no changes to the original fisubice template, any hacks or mods that you have added, will not be affected, providing you follow the updating instructions I will post here.
you can see a demo of it [url=http]HERE[/url]
I have uploaded it to this site [url=http]HERE[/url]
Though it includes all the language images, only the lang_english images have been colorized so far.
to install, please follow these simple instruction to the letter <img>
First, go to ACP/eXtreme Styles and uninstall ONLY "fisub_orange", fisub_grey" and "fisub_blue" NOT "fisubice"
*edit*******************************************************
"fisub_orange", fisub_grey" and "fisub_blue" are not installed by default, so if you did not install them, you do not have to un-install them
***********************************************************
dl and unzip fisubice from [url=http]HERE[/url]
upload
fisubice.cfg
theme_info.cfg
fisubice_black.css
fisubice_blue.css
fisubice_green.css
fisubice_orange.css
fisubice_grey.css
to your forum root/templates/fisubice overwriting the files that are there.
upload the color folders from fisubice/images (orange, blue, green, grey and black, to your forum root/templates/fisubice/images
go to ACP/eXtreme Styles/install templates and install them
*NOTE* by default, fisubice uses the banner "phpbb2_logo.gif" located in "forum root/images/logo
This banner is color matched to the default fisubice theme. This makes the left part of the header blue. The best way to retain the look and size of the header is to make your banner the same height as the default. I have done this on the demo site by adding transparencies to the top and bottom of the banner. (if you dont, the header will only be s tall as the tallest image and will not "frame" around it. If you want to use the banner from the demo site, or even edit it to your liking, i have uploaded it [url=http]HERE[/url]
Upload it to forum root/images/logo then go to ACP/general admin/configuration and choose it.
Here is a walk-through of making a new fisubice color, or theme, using this version of fisubice. Since a pink template has been requested, I will use pink for this example. You can use this to make any color, or style though.
