Icy Phoenix

Hello i installed icy phoneix and then installed Black peal then i used customize it to customize text and stuff to blue but ever since then there has been a annoying blue/green box around images you can click and also The thing with Home Fourms Seach etc is supposed to be blue not green and on the customize thing it was blue. my site is http://www.ancientwow.com if you wanna see them. And also can you plox tell me how to change the rollover text color? Thanks a ton guys ^^

EDIT: i fixed the orange line problem but i still dont know how to fix the blue/green box around image links : (

What version of icy are you using...?

1.2.0.27

ok it has been a while since I had the same problem as you and without a test board we will have to try this and see what happens...

ok open your template folder/your template/common.css and find



delete the above.... if it works then woohoo if not place it back in and we can start again...

let me know

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

no it didnt :/ but i think i might of foudn the problem..... so when i download the customized one the folder it came in was pearl. It put that in my templates folder but it wasnt showing it the install thing on ACP. So i alrdy had black pearl installed so i just copied the images from my custom one to that. I think that might be the problem

open style_p_black.css and add this as a new line / block.

img { border:0px}

I noted some of the links on your site have also lost the .css that should normally be applied to them - - - - -

So it may be better if you learn how to install and remove styles properly (Even if some of them appear to be difficult) rather than patching them as you go - because you will no doubt end up creating even more problems for yourself.

ok so i tried what lopalong said and tried to install it correctly.....i installed the same version of icy phoenix a clean install on www.ancientwow.com/test
(to view the style you have to login)
then i installed my custom black pearl style and it worked Sorta. after i installed it it came up with this error

Critical Error

Could not open ./templates/pearl/pearl.cfg

DEBUG MODE

Line : 1027
File : functions.php

The file is there...............
i dun know what to do if you could plox help me ^^ thanks

Yes, it can be confusing because of the nested templates that all belong in /templates/mg_themes. :(

Read this and see if you can work it out. ;)

But do not use the "theme_info.cfg" file from the black pearl folder in the mg_themes folder else you will overwrite the "default" theme_info.cfg that should already contain the config for all mg_themes.

i still cant get my custom one to install : ( i can get the normal black pearl but not the custom one

your custom one got to go into pearl folder.

i´m using an customized Black Pearl in my site and no probs

can you tell me where you put the stuff at and where you installed please? thanks

For a custom "new theme" you have to create an overall_header_custom.tpl and overall_footer_custom.tpl, then make sure the folders for the custom theme don't have the same name as other themes.

Then rename the style_custom.css to match the theme and edit the url paths etc, then add a custom.cfg for the theme, or edit mg_themes.cfg if you are going to nest the theme, and also edit the xs.cfg and add the custom theme info to that for LoFi.

Then you will need to create a custom theme_info.cfg (or edit for nested themes /mg_themes/theme_info.cfg)

And for an IP theme-novice, this is no doubt pretty confusing. ;)

Maybe you are better off patching black pearl at this time and use the img fix I posted if you have the same problems -- -- because when and if you upgrade to v1.3 (which should be released soon) you are going to have to learn a whole new way of doing it again, as ipv27 themes are not compatible with v1.3.

But! if you are going to continue with trying to create a custom theme for v27, then the first thing you need to decide is whether you want to nest it with mg_themes or make a stand-alone theme. Only then can explicit instructions be given on how to create it and get it to work.

im not creating a new theme im using customizeit
