MyBB Community Forums

When remaking old skins from my free host phpBB2 days, I run into one problem: I would like to be able to use multiple colours across one forum.

Here is a photo example of what I mean:



The above half of the image is the way my skin looks now.
The bottom half, is what it would look like if the customization I (and surely many others) desire was possible.

Thanks. [:

I'm pretty sure you can do that. I don't know what the code is off the top of my head, but i've seen it.

Oh? If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Wherever a table cell has a class of $alt_bg or something similar, hard code the class into it.

Dang, that sounds kinda complicated.

Not really. forumdisplay_thread:

<tr>
	<td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}" width="2%"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$folder}.gif" alt="{$folder_label}" title="{$folder_label}" /></td>
	<td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}" width="2%">{$icon}</td>
	<td class="{$bgcolor}">
		{$attachment_count}
		<div>
			<span>{$prefix} {$gotounread}<a href="{$thread['threadlink']}" class="{$inline_edit_class} {$new_class}" id="tid_{$inline_edit_tid}">{$thread['subject']}</a>{$thread['multipage']}</span>
			<div class="author smalltext">{$thread['profilelink']}</div>
		</div>
	</td>
	<td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}"><a href="javascript:MyBB.whoPosted({$thread['tid']});">{$thread['replies']}</a>{$unapproved_posts}</td>
	<td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}">{$thread['views']}</td>
	{$rating}
	<td class="{$bgcolor}" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: right;">
		<span class="lastpost smalltext">{$lastpostdate} {$lastposttime}<br />
		<a href="{$thread['lastpostlink']}">{$lang->lastpost}</a>: {$lastposterlink}</span>
	</td>
{$modbit}
</tr>

Find {$bgcolor} and change to trow1 or trow2.

Hmm, I changed every {$bgcolor} there was on that template and nothing worked.
