Seen a few people request this on here but never seen a tutorial for it, so here it is - original tutorial by mybboard.pl

Heres what you'll end up with - http://i.imgur.com/46w8KDp.png


Copy and paste this into your header include template (we'll come back to skin.js later on)

<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/picker/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/picker/js/colorpicker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/picker/js/skin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/picker/js/cookie.js"></script>

Next make a new cp.css file in your themes section and copy paste this - Remember to make sure the image links are correct

Open your header template and put this where you want the color picker to show

<span class='custom_theme'><input type='text' id='colorpicker' /></span>

Now we can open skin.js and choose what we want to be effected by the color picker 
Look for this line and add here all the classes and id's you want to be colored - make sure every class or id ends with a ,

var customElements = " #panel, .tfoot, .upper, .thead";

Download - make sure all files are in correct places [attachment=32388]

Note: jquery.min.js and cookie.js shouldn't be added to headerinclude since they're already there in 1.8.

I'm guessing FV don't have a good reputation and have took it off your site?

Not sure why this isn't working for me, i did everything you said.

Whats your forum url?

One of your plugins must be conflicting with it, have a try with them all disabled first?

Ok i fixed it, i wasn't adding the cookie.js or jquery.min.js to the headerinclude, i was reading what destroy was saying.

I found this here, don't know if they're the original creators of the tutorial but I really think that guy isn't.
