You are right about 1.2 but we now have 1.3 and the code could be taken from the new CSS since that part has not been changed from 1.2.

Codi I will personally not help in anything 1.2 (specific) related... but of course you can find here someone else who is willing to help with old issues.

MG, if you programmed it making the 'menu_sep.png image' be between the links on the bar, I just need to know how to keep repeating it even after the links, in both bars, the main one and the forum ones, alike the picture I showed you up. What the file is and how to apply the changes.

I think that the best way to achieve this is by creating a new image with the spacing you need, so you don't have to mess things up in the CSS.

For example if you need 20px spacing and your image is 10px wide, then create a new 30px image with your image on the left and 20 empty pixels on the right.

Having Images Instead Of Words For Links

In my journey customizing my theme (check how it is going here) my biggest challenge is to find the path of the change I want to make.

Today for example, I can't find out at all how to have an image instead of a word for link. I mean, I want an image saying "login" "forum" "profile" "faq", etc like n those old forums from phpbb2.

And neither can I find out how to change the path of an image from the forum (buttons, corners, etc), cause since I'll be changing the background, I need them to be .png, and not .gif
I tried to change their path n the file style_ice, but nothing happened.

Re: Making My Own Theme

If I'm correct?

Your problem is that you are running with a now deprecated version of Icy Phoenix and nobody is going to support you.

The links/anchors that you can't see, if I'm correct once more as in the screen-shot are all there:

How you fix the .css for a now NON-Supported version of IP is your problem - So if you still want to experiment and want to change things like coding/script and markup for a non supported version - - - Then you need to practice until you get it right. Or upgrade to IP-*53? - And then your theme will be absolutely useless.

Re: Making My Own Theme

The versions aren't too different, are they?

Why don't you try supporting me with what you know about the new version?
Maybe I figure something out based on how you would do that on IP-*53.

Well, I tried by the most rustic form: through the language file, but the results weren't so good to those words that appear in other parts of the forum (like the word "forum" itself, for example. I just want to change the links on forumline, forumlinenb and quick-links left table. (to put images with the words instead, like

and

).

I belive it's not css, I think it's HTML, am I right?

I've found this: (with web developer -> show source code tool)

I will know what to do whenever I find the path to this html general file, if there is one. All that I'll have to do is to change the titles to the url of the images I want instead.

Does anyone know where this file is located?

The only think I could find was this: (in 4 different files, the same code. They are 'templates/mg_themes/overall_header.tpl', 'templates/mg_themes/overall_header_bl.tpl', 'templates/mg_themes/overall_header_sc.tpl', 'templates/mg_themes/overall_header_ss.tpl')

Am I in the right way?

Do everyone a favour and either work out what you need to do with a deprecated version of Icy Phoenix by yourself, or upgrade and do your experimenting with the latest version. Then we'll all be talking the same language!
