Well, I tried

I tried creating a new colour scheme to go with the site. To see it, go to "Profile", then in the styles selection, choose "Site Blue". I suppose it's OK, but the main problem is that the images all have white around them.

Prehaps someone who knows could tell me how I can get a different imageset for a different style/stylesheet?

But, please tell me what you think of the style itself...

I have four choices for fixing the white bits around the images:

1) Learn how I can have different images in different themes
2) get rid of the anti-aliasing on all the images and make the backgrounds transparent so that they fit on any theme
3) Make them so they have blue backgrounds, and only work with this theme (if you guys like this theme)
4) Make a whole new template for this theme so that template can have different images, but this would make adding mods take longer, although i don't add many these days.

Yeah, I probably would need help doing it - i tried it on the header and couldn't do it Sad

. But getting rid of the anti-aliasing really wouldn't work on the buttons at the top, so I need a new idea for them, because they are too smooth. Anyone got a better idea for them that can easily be aliased (or is it anti-anti-aliased Razz

)

Id say 2 aswell. Simple not alot of work involved either. And then if we change in future we wouldnt need to mess around again with them, Smile

OK, I fixed all the buttons at the top and added a new header that should look alright on any style. Anyone got any suggestions on how to finish it off.

Probably the last thing i need is a replacement for the new topic etc. buttons, and then eventually if i can get this style looking better, i'll make it the default one, becuase it fits with the site, and makes the forums more unique
