This skin is inspired by the colors of the standard skin of XenForo. Please keep in mind that it isn't and should not be a copy of it. Furthermore, there aren't any of the fancy Javascript things you can see on XenForo. It's just a light skin with different colors than the standard one.

I'm not a professional web designer. I only do it for myself I only have the latest stable versions of Firefox and Safari for testing.

This style works with:

• IP.Board 3.1.4
• IP.Blog 2.3.0
• IP.Downloads 2.3.0
• IP.Gallery 3.2.2
• IP.Nexus 1.0.3
• IP.Tracker 1.3.4

Good job. I would get this if it had the bread crumbs like Xenforo. I think the way they do it is really slick.

Thank you.

Indeed, breadcrumb is really nice. I'll see what I can do. But I don't think it will be that easy as I don't want to touch templates, only CSS. Colors won't be the problem, but for the arrow I have no idea how to do that.

The arrow is a replacement macro called f_nav_sep

Thank you, but that isn't exactly what I meant :)

XenForo has a completely different structure under his navbar, so I'm quite sure you can't do exactly the same like they do. I have a similar solution but the hover effect is not implemented and if you want to show it with IP.Content the text is sometimes hidden.

What do you think?

Ok.

That solution looks ok to me, I do not like the xenforo hover anyway.

I have installed the latest version including the nav bar and have some issues when I do not include my logo




And with my logo it is even worse.

[Hatsu]

Yes, there isn't a link in the navbar. I'm aleady looking into this. Firstly, I thought it would only happen with IP.Content but all those apps don't have a link in the last breadcrumb. The logo shouldn't be the problem.

[Hatsu]

Okay, found it. I updated the zip file.

And with my logo it is even worse.

Okay, I see. The logo is smaller than mine. I will look into this, too.

[Hatsu]

Okay, updated the zip again. Feel free to try again.

[RobertMidd]

Yes all is ok now.

[Hatsu]

Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks. Installed. Looks great. A few things need tweaking but it could make a great replacement default skin for those that want a fast loading skin.

Yeah the highlighting breadcrumb would so cool :)

You might want to check out my site (link in signature. I've tweaked a few things. One thing I did was add to the forum legend and added a "The additional character symbol means you have participated in a topic" icon. That's done by editing the forum index template. The 2 lines I added are at the bottom:

<div id='forum_footer' class='statistics general_box clear clearfix'>

        <div id='forum_legend' class='right'>

            <h2>{$this->lang->words['forum_legend']}</h2>

            <dl>

                <dt class='clear'>{parse replacement="t_unread"}</dt>

                <dd>{$this->lang->words['pm_open_new']}</dd>

                <dt>{parse replacement="t_read"}</dt>

                <dd>{$this->lang->words['pm_open_no']}</dd>

                <dt class='clear'>{parse replacement="t_hot_unread"}</dt>

                <dd>{$this->lang->words['pm_hot_new']}</dd>

                <dt>{parse replacement="t_hot_read"}</dt>

                <dd>{$this->lang->words['pm_hot_no']}</dd>

                <dt class='clear'>{parse replacement="t_poll_unread"}</dt>

                <dd>{$this->lang->words['pm_poll']}</dd>

                <dt>{parse replacement="t_poll_read"}</dt>

                <dd>{$this->lang->words['pm_poll_no']}</dd>

                <dt class='clear'>{parse replacement="t_closed"}</dt>

                <dd>{$this->lang->words['pm_locked']}</dd>

                <dt>{parse replacement="t_moved"}</dt>

                <dd>{$this->lang->words['pm_moved']}</dd>

                <dt class='clear'>{parse replacement="t_unread_dot"}</dt>

                <dd>The additional character symbol means you have participated in a topic</dd>

            </dl>

        </div>       

Couple of other things I did was change the font size from 0.9 em to 1.0 em for tables i.e. VNC. 0.9 is a bit small plus I made it bold. Plus a couple of other tweaks to paddings so that my IP Content blocks on the front page didn't look so cramped. At some stage I'll probably replace the blue logo images at the top.

Thanks again. This is a really nice clean skin.

Thank you :)

Your site looks nice.

I try to avoid any template edits as upgrading is so much a pain with it. So I try to fix it all with CSS. The breadcrumb edit in the template hurted ;)

I actually have a IP.Content installation but I didn't export it because I thought it would mess up most of the installations as each IP.Content installation is different.

I adapted the pagination on my site. Will update the zip tomorrow.

[3DKiwi]

Thanks. The pagnation looks nice.
