Make sure you have the Christmas graphics turned off. You then should see the blue header. You should only see the yellow images with the graphics turned on.

Did you try the file that was never zipped in my public folder?

I will investigate. Sorry there's some errors. I didn't have one at all!

Sorry guys. I've found some small .css issues. I'm working on it, and will have it ironed out soon.

I just read your post that you are fixing some .css issues.

I have no idea why the few select images are being corrupted. Another image that looks corrupted is little_box.png.

Spoiler: [ Show ]


I'm also not seeing the snowflakes on the borders or in viewtopic.

The .css that's in that package, depends on MG Autumn and Icy Phoenix to be installed in your forum. I overlooked one of the .css files and am noticing now that the entire .css treatment will have to be re-written.

I have the other 2 templates installed, and that's why it's running problem free on my test and main forum.

There are images and font and link colors being used in one of the .css that is using MG Autumn (gray) images and that is causing some problems if you don't have those above styles installed.

I will totally re-write the .css, and probably come out with a new better runing file set. (for those who don't have the other templates installed).

I just got a PM from Aleee and he said it worked perfect.

I'm about 1/2 way through with the .css changes. It will be much better.

Great. At least one had good luck. I can see that one of the .css in the file you have depends on the "gray" style, which is what this style started out at.

I've re-written the .css files. Thanks to Limun it works good. Now it's on my public folder I have the latest zipped version of the style. It's now a complete style independent of other themes. Just unzip and install the gearhead_style
folder to your template folder in IP.

http://www.portal.thegtsaga.net/public

You can of course uninstall the previous version if you would like to, because this version has it's very own stylesheet and is only dependent on the fap and common sheets.

For Limun, when you get it and it works to your liking, please look at the style_xmasblue.css and see if you can add the more 3D menu bar, and the bg files for the left menu. I had trouble writing that in. But I assure you, this one is trouble free....and a little more background very subtle snowflakes, which is the way MG intended it.

note to Chaotic; please replace the topic starter download to the new file...I'll PM you as well.

you gona dont belive , but i dont know how to install .styles file


Chaotic [ Mon 01 Dec, 2008 02:15 ]
Post subject: Re: MG Christmas Blue; Style Updated!
That is kind of what I was thinking. I thought there were going to be image files and a .css file.

It looks like it's just a .style file...which you have to upload to your /cache folder. After that you install the style STYLES & TEMPLATES -> Styles Management -> Import Styles.

But don't do that yet until gearhead confirms if that is what we need to do!

Yea, and even though my belly is much smaller, I do have some grey on my head and my beard!!! So watch it.

Ok, let me tell you guys that me and the thunder from downunder believe in the .style file....

here are the instructions:

Note: .style files are an ingenious method of importing styles to your phpbb or IP database. I thought it was phpbb 101, but not everyone uses this method, but ask MG or thunder, IT WORKS. It contains EVERY part of the style for your forum.

Boy, Santa Clause is gonna be good to me, and I'll make sure he's good to you guys.

First, make sure your cache is empty. Go to ACP and uninstall and delete files (delete files may not be avail.), however, once the MG Christmas is gone, go back and delete the cache 2 or 3 times, then go to your cache folder for IP and hit refresh once and delete all the files that occured since users may still be on your site. (One safe way is to lock your site while doing this to keep having to delete the cache).....

Once the style is gone completely, then unzip the file, (I would use the unzipped version), and add it to your cache folder in IP only if the folder is empty, or very low on cached files).

Then go to Import styles. At that point, IP will show you the file that's cached or the .style file.

Go ahead and import it. Then you should test it. After it's ok, then you can empty your cache again in the ACP.....

You shouldn't have any problems at that point.

I'm on so PM me if you get stuck.

Tick the box next to MG Christmas Blue. You don't have to make it the default forum style. If you want to make it default, tick the other box as well. After that, click Import.

Ok, this is totally weird......Aleee didn't have any problems......

Ok, well, let me just put each file up in the public folder. That will take more time. Just dump that style, there's something wrong with the file..........

Limun: Can you post pic of style?

Ok, now we are getting somewhere. I am going to just put the standard files in zip now for the style.

It looks like the import export contained more of my styles that I didn't want to put in .style file.

Please be patient, Limun and me are working right now for a zip file ANYONE can install and have good luck with.

I will call it xmas beta 2.0.....

he he.

thanks for the patience with someone who has not released a style before!

Of course, that's what I'm talking about. I needed a little for that table header png.

I think it's great. I'm going to put your tweaked version first, since you helped me with the package.

Thanks a million!!

I apologize to anyone who had problems with the theme. Once Limun helped me create a proper package, it's all good now.

I am going to create a few image packages for the theme.

Thanks Limun, and Aleee for keeping the faith.

I chickened out and put for bg_th.gif, and used the bg_th from "gray" which is MG Autumn. It has a more plain and simple look:
