Hex


This is the redesigned Hex skin for IP.Board and components. Unlike its former self, which came in separate color versions, this new version is a dark rainbow in and of itself: it has a built-in instant color selector that affects everything from the maintitle bar to the background to the banner to hyperlinked text! Check out the ultra-smooth effects in transition-supporting browsers, such as Chrome.

Ultra-compatible, thanks to the use of an overriding CSS and zero direct edits to default templates.

Nevermind that, but can you tell me how to change the layout width please?



Thanks!




First go to Admin CP > Look & Feel [Tab] > Look & Feel > Manage Skin Sets & Templates > Manage Templates in [Skin] > CSS [Tab] > css.css.

There, you should see a line at the top starting with /*|SIZE|*/. You have some options:

1) To widen the skin to 100% (the width of the browser window), simply delete or decomment that line. To decomment the line, you can simply change

/*|SIZE|*/

to

/*|SIZE|

2) Alternatively, you can specify a different maximum width at the first instance of 'max-width'; i.e. at

#ipbwrapper { max-width: 1070px;


change 1070 to another number.

In the future I plan to make it easier to change the width and various other settings.

Hope that helps. :)

I tested the skin on the latest versions of all major browsers and it never looked like that. o__O Possibly there is some modification enabled there that may be conflicting?

Try adding something like this to _skin_settings:


<style type="text/css" media="screen">

#inputColor { margin-top: XXpx; }

</style>



Enter a number at XX.

Very nice skin with clever colour change effects, 1 thing that seems to be missing is a "save" button which means it reverts back to default on refreshing but other than that I adore it :smile:




In the current version, color preference is saved using a browser cookie, so cookies must be enabled. If cookies are enabled but the color preference is still not being saved, please let me know.

Any chance of this working with Unreal Portal?



Its very close as it is just the header tabs for the separate modules do not display correctly, I would be happy to test with my board if needed.



Other than that love the skin!




Where can the Unreal Portal that you're referring to be downloaded?

Oh wow, all the google searches came up with an empty site place holder lol. Go figure.




Ha ha, happens a lot; gotta love Google. XD

Anyway, I installed Unreal Portal on my site but it's throwing errors. Do you have a test installation that I can try it on?

Sorry was gone over the weekend, I can set one up for you tomorrow morning (Tuesday) if you like




It's up to you; no hurries, unless you would like me to take a look at it sooner. If there's an alternative method of testing Unreal Portal that you think might work better, feel free to recommend that.

I reported the issue with Unreal Portal that I encountered (with UP 3.0.2a on IPB 3.3.X) at http://www.unreal-solutions.org, but it doesn't seem like the author is going to resolve it soon.

Thats the problem with Criket he does come around there at all. I was honestly surprised he release a 3.0 ver. After that the support goes to zero, its a shame to, but it works and works well. What issues where you having on the install? I have done several and never ran into one. I will get a test board up tomorrow the day was just to busy at work.

Ya know looking at the a skin that works on our site with Uportal. This is my guess.. The Hex skin work with the Portal however the lenght of the outer modules are not longer enough to fit all the graphics L/R hoses, and center color, I can see the name of each module which looks like its trying to go where it is supposed to. I'm sure the portal uses the same code as the forum sections and that where it pulls from. So in short you would have to write seperate code to make it work for the portal. However I know IPB has a portal that funtions close to this. Not sure if its worth the time :(

Just my thoughts.

Here's the issue:
http://www.unreal-solutions.org/topic/6149-unreal-portal-302-alpha-for-ipb-32-is-out/page__view__findpost__p__8831

I'm not sure if it's related to 3.0.2a being designed for IPB 3.2.X instead of 3.3.X.

In the meantime, depending on what the issue(s) is/are, I might be able to provide a solution without needing a test install.

Is the only issue that the maintitle bars on the sides of the portal do not display properly?
