 Re: Black And Blue Pearl Styles ? |
Icy Phoenix phpbb styles are no longer kept up to date or supported here. To use them you would have to go back to a version of phpBB that they were designed for, and we don't recommend that you do that because for a start they don't support the "new" plug-in system that phpBB now use or the current script structure they use.
And MG has stated somewhere that he won't be updating them in the future - When he is going to remove them and all of the phpBB from this site is currently anybody's guess?
And it's not just the older versions of phpBB that they used to suit - There has also been changes to the PHP script/engine/versions and to the latest browsers that would have to be considered or upgraded for everything to function properly.
So sorry fella, you'll have to try to convert the script, css and html yourself and that would be quite a task.. 
So many changes - Hardly worth the effort...

Re: Black And Blue Pearl Styles ? |
Hi Bill,
Latest versions available are for phpbb 3.0.12 and you will find the styles here:
http://www.icyphoenix.com/styles/styles.php?cat_id=phpbb3
As mort stated, those styles are not supported anymore, because too many things changed in phpbb and those would need to be restyled from scratch!
As far as I know all styles works fine on a clean setup of phpbb 3.0.12

So how much would it cost for someone to update the theme for the latest version of phpbb?
That’s how much I like black pearl.
I have install phpbb 3.0.12 and a few themes and like them a lot
if I can put it here my test site www.planetbattlefield.co
I don't know much how to upgrade a theme actually I have no idea but wish I did
Thanks for all the feedback appreciated

Re: Black And Blue Pearl Styles ? |
Hi Bill,
The old style of templates relies(d) heavily on graphics for the effects - Today, templates need to be "responsive" and that means "If that is what one wants to do" then one needs to take a new approach - No matter what one could do with the Pearl templates to keep them similar - they are never going to look quite the same because the "heavy" graphics would need to be removed or modified or replaced with gradients.
Here's a theme that one could start with for a quick conversion, but it's not responsive?
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/animezone/demo/3.1
You probably need to pick on something responsive from the above link and then set about changing it around so that it comes close to the pearls..
Otherwise it IS a hell of a lot of work.

Re: Black And Blue Pearl Styles ? |
You pick one or more styles from the phpBB styles demo and post the links here and I'll have a look to see if I can be of some help in kicking them around so that they resemble the "Pearls".
Don't look at the colours too much but concentrate more-so on the layout(s) that you would be happy with.
Just remember that some/all may have to be updated to the current phpBB version - and you would have to do that too either before or after conversion.
Edit:
Another thought is that you could ask over at phpBB.com if there is anyone interested in converting it/them and post a link back to this thread which shows that MG has abandoned the styles...
Maybe the "better" way to go..

Re: Black And Blue Pearl Styles ? |

Not sure what you are suggesting here, but you do need to pick a theme/layout you like from the demo/themes available at phpBB.com and then start suggesting what you would like to do with it, or what you would like it to resemble.
I'm also pretty sure there are other sites that create phpBB themes but you would have to Google because I can't remember what they were called. Or if they have converted any of what they offer to the latest phpBB (Responsive) format.
But that's what you need to do.

Try phpbb.com as kiss portal never came from here, and phpbb is no longer supported here.
