thank you, yea I see it now.
Yea, I only thought this AIM remote in there was unusual since it's not functional... and I think AOL disabled that particular user interface more than 4 years ago.. roughly... and that Battlefield 3 came out October 2011 and the announcement was in first & second quarter of 2011... maybe removing it/or changing it to a different IM system via your XML would be a good idea?? Which begs another question in my mind... exactly what part of this XML and package contents are you claiming ownership of?
Side note:
An inverse color version of this theme would be fantastic. Dark backgrounds and white font are statistically major causes of website related eye fatigue. Although the pictures you selected for the background I have to say are absolutely gorgeous! And your preview pictures has sidebar boxes, is that for google ads or something of the sort??? If so where is it in your theme? Thanks again... and I hope my suggestions/comments/questions are not too much of a hassle.
In that sidebox you can add anything that you like or need,for example TS3 server,server trackers,various widgets (like youtube subscribe,twitter feeds..).

I don't think that i will do any edits in aim template,if you want to add new services (like fb or something else) you can do that via custom user field(s) in AdminCP.

All templates and template edits,images in BF3 folder (Body background images aren't my work,there are copyrighted material of EA Games).
And you can change templates via Admin cp -> templates and styles -> templates -> BF3 templates (for more info about templates
http://wiki.mybb.com/index.php/Admin_CP_Templates )

In 1.6 i'll add new tool in tool menu that will toggle between white text and darker text (with text-shadow).Also new warning styles will be added along with jquery tiptip plugin (tooltip plugin).
That sounds promising, to let you know we are using a theme which was inspired by yours. Maybe you and our CSS designer can work together on a new theme for us?
Admin CP -> Templates & Style -> Templates -> BF3 templates -> Index Page Templates -> index and find

Replace Box title with your title,box description can be deleted by removing (if you don't have any plans for box description) following line
<div class="tcat cell-padding">Box description</div>
Box content can be modified by removing
<img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/box_content.png" alt="content" />
after that paste anything inside (your content).
<!--First block--> and <!--Second block--> html comments are located after and before sidebar boxes (just to navigate easy in template edits).
V 1.6 update
-New icon in /bf/ folder (textcolor.png)
-New tool in tools menu (you can now toggle between white and dark text)
Tooltip plugin and new notification style(s) will wait until next version.
Very cool, we're adding more boxes to our them and might make them scroll for the user.
For that blue border under thead i can't find that hex color in BF3 theme,thead bg color is #14191e and bf3 thead class looks like this (current bg position is center center but change it to top center)
Quote:.thead {
background: #14191e url(../../../images/bf/thead_bg.png) top center repeat-x;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 2px;
border-top-right-radius: 2px;
}
Quote:What do you think? Cool idea? Is it possible?
That would require new button for every box,new function for every box just to toggle hide/show box1 / box2 / box3 / etc.
Interesting, I'd recommend to make some of your boxes display permanently.
It's not the problem in font height,thead bg is just 30 (or 36) pixels height and it won't strech by height,only by width in position top center.You will need to change thead bg image to match your thead background color.
Quote:Oh the 1st thread category description is rather long which causes this artifact of the underbar and width difference.
It's height not width.
My thead bg is much darker (14191e) then yours (596a7b) and you will need to fix that by:
1.Changing thead_bg image
2.OR changing thead background color
Quote:Here's what my idea is looking like so far, without the show/hide for each box:
I know what you mean (button to toggle show/hide boxes,one box = one button) but i doubt that i will add that.
Considering all things, what do you recommend is the best place to put a sidebar to make it global?
BEFORE DOING ANY TEMPLATE EDITS BACKUP YOUR CURRENT TEMPLATE EDITS (header,index and footer)
Global sidebar
Open index template and replace all content with
<html>
<head>
