Icy Phoenix

Hello everyone.

Update: This style has been updated and bugs worked out. You can download from the link below, or from my public access folder.

I like all the Christmas Themes that I've seen here, but especially MG's switchable Christmas graphics one.

I took that theme and did a different spin, slightly, and created a stand alone Christmas theme. It will also switch to Christmas (red) as all MG themes will. I used all MG graphics.

Updated the style:



I wanted to do this in case someone wanted to stay subtle with their Christmas theme as I did. I prefer them easy on the eyes.

The nice benefit to forum members, is they can choose this stand alone Christmas theme, while still being able to switch to other MG themes.

You can see the demo here: http://www.thegtsaga.net/gearhead/index.php

Now, we have a version package that will install with no problems......(see download).

(unzip and place the gearhead_themes folder to your template folder in IP.) then go to ACP>styles management>install styles> and enjoy.

:mricy: :mricy:

Note: the style comes with a light blue table background for the top menu bar and side menu. I changed those to gray, but it's not hard to do. Let me know if you want to do this.

Very nice! I'd love to use that theme, but your DEMO site is down:

Critical Error

Could not get theme data for themes_id [11]

DEBUG MODE

Line : 1010
File : functions.php

:(

Also, if you can point me to the winzip file on your server, I'll download it and winrar it. After I compress it, I can put it in your first post...if you like.

Ok, well, that usually happens when I un-install themes just so I can export styles. I will go fix it now, and re-install the other themes now that I have the .style file.

:mrblue:

update:

Ok, I got it back up after editing includes/def_themes.php

Note that you can switch to other MG styles with MG Christmas blue installed, and you can turn on Christmas style in ACP and it will switch to red instead of blue.

:mrgreen:

chaotic: I sent you the link. Thanks.

Great looking theme...as you said nice and subtle... which in some cases is just what people want...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

thanks ..its very nice :)
is it downlodable from somewhere ? :mrviolet:

Thank you DR. Who, but it's MG's I just wanted a different spin on the Christmas theme.

Limun, the file is large even compressed. Won't attach. chaotic has or should have my zip file, or I can send you the public folder link where I put it for my friends.......(in a PM)..

Please note it's a style file. (clear cache, then place file in cache to install).

I've had a lot of server load for the last 2 days, so I will PM you the link to zip file.

:mricy:

Thanks gearhead!

** Theme added to gearhead's first post!

I appreciate that. You are a great help.

I think I have a lot of img files, but the nice thing is, a user who installs can change to files built in like the header bg to green, red, or really anything he wants. I even tossed around the idea of maybe some Christmas ornaments, and some different snowflake backgrounds....Like these:



or something like this:

I don't know. What I liked about this style was the simplicity and subtlety you used in the theme. Nothing in the style screams at you when you look at it. Perfect blend of colors.

I need to go install this style now! Be right back!

Here are some xmas images if you need to add anything or for anyone to use..



:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I just talked to you via PM gearhead, so here it goes.

I installed the style and cleared my cache many times, but I'm getting the same look:



When I go to ACP -> Configuration -> Icy Phoenix -> enable Christmas Graphics, everything looks perfect.

I just checked the style file by installing it into my main forum. I'm not having the same issue.

I will go clear out my cache, log out, and re-test. I hope everything came through on the import. I had no problems.

If someone else will test it, I'll go ahead and give my public folder link if you wish to install the unzipped version that I just installed and had no problems: http://www.portal.thegtsaga.net/public (mg_themes.style).

Also, I've noticed your cache will not clear out if someone else is on your board unless you clear out the folder through either site FTP, or FTP program.


Note to chaotic: that image you have is corrupt. Please put this image in your main image folder for xmasblue:
