You could also use a dropdown menu...like VB does.

Quote:<span class="links">
<div style="display: none;" class="popup_menu" id="example_popup">
<div class="popup_item_container"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php" class="popup_item">Search</a></div>
<div class="popup_item_container"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php" class="popup_item">Memberlist</a></div>
<div class="popup_item_container"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php" class="popup_item">Calendar</a></div>
<div class="popup_item_container"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help" class="popup_item">Help</a></div>
<div class="popup_item_container"><a href="#" onclick="MyBB.popupWindow('{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=buddypopup', 'buddyList', 350, 350);" class="popup_item">Buddy List</a></div>
</div>
<a href="javascript:;" id="example" class="popup_button">Quick Links <img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/dropdown.png"></a>
<script type="text/javascript">
new PopupMenu('example');
</script>

Put that in the header_welcomeblock_member after

Quote:<span class="panel" style="float:right;">{$lang->welcome_current_time}</span>
<span class="panel">{$lang->welcome_back} (<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/usercp.php"><strong>{$lang->welcome_usercp}</strong></a>{$modcplink}{$admincplink} &mdash; <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=logout&amp;logoutkey={$mybb->user['logoutkey']}">{$lang->welcome_logout}</a>)<br /></span>

It seems like everything is the same except for the header bar. Good effort anyway, try to make other parts of the theme looks more like vBulletin.

it already has a pulldown menu for quick links

Looks nice ;] I hope you try and style the profile pages to make them more vB. Then I will really appreciate you!

looks excewlent downloading

Nice, but if it was me, I'd like Blue and Green. Wow, I say that on a lot of threads don't I?

please use caution when using on live forum ... the theme wont destroy it but some incomplete features may annoy users

once i am finished on the first one i will make one using a greenish black kinda blue gradient

*EDIT*
For any one who doesnt realize my theme does have pull down vb like menus

Try to improve on the colour. The colour isn't very appeasing.

I personally don't see why you would want to copy another forums design but what ever floats your boat.

Like you said I'm sure other want vB looking themes so keep it up .

and OceanLove colors are easy to change for even and amateur web designer.
