I have been back and forth trying to keep up during work while also checking to make sure my forum didn't burn down from the changes (it did, but a quick swap-out corrected the issues [I was in such a panic I didn't save anything from the previous versions so that's my loss, though not a huge one. I have the colors I pulled from the old dark theme I used plus the background image since I used them to color match with my accompanying wiki so I will tweak that later]) One thing I am noticing for both my forum and others in screenshots (and the ones you provided for the updated theme) is that our forums don't resemble your demo forum. Is there a major difference between the two besides the aesthetic and is there specific coding to achieve that header look? Thank you. In the demo page here https://ipskit.com/ i have simply installed the latest magnum theme version from marketplace, and installed the ipsKit theme addons app. plus enabling all the features like swiper slider and footer blocks...etc) if something is not the same as the demo page please let me know there was a problem with the logo not being aligned correctly. check this comment 2874811 to fix the logo if its floated on left side of the screen. 5 hours ago, Xochiquetzal said: Also, will the color overlay for the sliders make a come back in the distant future? That was useful for the banner types I had. I'm making use with the text background feature for now so glad to have something in place. sorry it wont come back because its really just easier to use the custom.css for styles 🙂 .swiper:before { content: ""; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; background: linear-gradient(to top, black 0%, transparent 35%, transparent 0%, white 100%); z-index: 2; } Edited December 17, 2021 by TAMAN

Also, duh! I am so sorry! I forgot I can even plug something like that in. Definitely much easier with CSS. Thank you!

dutchsnowden Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 How can I deactivate ALL backgrounds in the theme? How can I activate dark mode?

Hi, if you have installed the ipsKit theme addons app then just dialable background picker here ACP --> Customizations --> ipskit addons --> background picker you can enable darkmode for your theme here ... ACP --> Customizations --> Themes -> edit your theme and go to Dark Mode tab --> click "Insert Demo" and save the theme 🙂 Edited January 7, 2022 by TAMAN
dutchsnowden Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Love the theme but not what I was looking for. I just needed a nice dark theme. Is there any way I can ask Invision for a refund?

I'm sorry, I can't refund you because it's a premade theme and it also has a preview link to see it live before you buy it. however, I can help with anything you want related to this! 🙂 maybe there are small tweaks or css customizations that you need, or perhaps there is something you dont like and maybe it can be disabled or easily modified!
dutchsnowden Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Thanks, I uninstalled it, too complicated and too skeuomorphic. I just needed dark colors, that I can adjust. I do not need anything else, not sliders or anything else that complicates life.
dutchsnowden Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I mean too complicated for me. I was looking for something simple and dark that I can change accent colors myself. I do not need all the bells and whistles of side menu, footer, sliders and the backgrounds, tho I tried deactivating them, they were just there. The menu was too big, and with those blue stripes I could not leave them there. 7 minutes ago, TAMAN said: I'm sorry, I can't refund you because it's a premade theme and it also has a preview link to see it live before you buy it. [...] Not sure what this means and how a premade theme cannot be refunded, but sure, if you cannot that's it, my loss, paying for something I will not use. Edited January 7, 2022 by dutchsnowden
TAMAN Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 @dutchsnowden Honestly, all your complications are just a bunch of clicks to solve but I will file a ticket and let ips refund you today or tomorrow no worries you get your money back ^^ Runar 1

dunefreak Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 I updated my theme and now my entire site looks completely different. There are now texture backgrounds I never chose, my logo is missing in the header, everything looks different. What did I do wrong? I reverted both the global template and navbar template. The ipskit plugin is installed. How do I get my old theme colors and look back? I don't see a palete export option. site: https://www.dumontduneriders.com/invision/

I don't see a palete export option. site: https://www.dumontduneriders.com/invision/ Hi, There's a bug in showing import/export tab in theme settings and to fix that I would need to update the new ipskit theme addons app which was recently added. everything comes from that app and i haven't yet updated because I'm constantly trying to improve the theme. in the next version, this theme will become an application instead of a theme, everything will be the same but instead of installing a theme you will be installing an application. if you want just message me and i will give you a copy of the app which is fixed and you can use the import/export feature 🙂 If you dont like the textures and other styles which were added recently, let me know and I can remove or fix it for you
Matteo Fi Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Hi, I just installed the latest version and ipskit as well, but if I change a color in the theme I activate the dark mode even if it is deactivated in the settings. how can I do? then if I activate the slides with ipskit only in the forum and not in the other parts it does not work correctly

Foolboy Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Hello Taman, After I installed the latest version of Magnum Theme (4.3.5), I've encountered numerous issues as follows: 1) The main logo is not align correctly with the navigation bar. 2) I could not configured the news ticker to properly loaded the latest article from Page. I've already used this template (ta_themes_pages_newsticker.xml) on your previous theme version (4.3.3) with no issue so I guess that it should work on this new version as well. But apparently that it isn't. 3) When I tried to config the article on page footer using the template from previous version (ta_themes_pages_footer.xml) on your newly created IPSKit Addons plugin, the articles seems to not properly aligned like on the previous theme version. 4) This one is the most important issue. I found that the new swiper slider on IPSKit Addons plugin has no ability to load articles from Page using the template from previous version of your theme (ta_themes_pages_slider.xml) And there is no title style and button customization at all. 5) I just DM to you about this issue but I would like to inform you again that IPSkit Theme Copyright Removal 1.0.1 is not working with the new Magnum theme version. There is no option to downgrade the theme into 4.3.4, which was worked without any issue. Please help. Thank you in advance for your support. TAMAN 1
TAMAN Posted February 11, 2022 Author Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) @Foolboy Sorry for the late reply Heres a new version of "ipskit theme addons" app, but I cant update it in the marketplace...yet please remove the current version you have in ACP, and install this version manually ipsKit Theme addons 1.0.1.tar Whats new? Fixed reported bugs. Footer Blocks is removed (it will be added as a separated application) Swiper Slider is removed I uploaded an updated version of Swiper Slider in this club here... 😄 let me know if you cant download or if it gets deleted by IPS 😄 Edited February 11, 2022 by TAMAN Foolboy 1

Foolboy Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 Hello @TAMAN Thank you for your time and effort to resolve this issue.

However, even with the recent version of IPSKit Theme Addon that you recently uploaded and also the separated swiper slider application. My issue 2) and 4) from the previous seems to not resolved. Here is how the swiper slider and news ticker appears on the main page: I've configured both swiper slider and news ticker to use the custom page block from previous version of Magnum theme as data source, as shown in the following screenshots: Other than that, everything is working as expected. Therefore, I have to disable swiper slider and news ticker from my site for now. Please let me know once you come up with the solution or at least revert it back to Magnum Theme 4.3.3 but keep it running on IPS 4.6.10 because I really like how the previous version works perfectly fine. 😅 By the way, I was recently upgraded my web server to use PHP 8.1.2. Is there anything that may conflict with your theme? Thank you in advance for your support.

Schaken Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 Hey! on this theme, when i scroll down, the top user menu jumps to the side. I love this, but it makes it too wide, and puts a scrollbar at the bottom of my screen. Is there a way i can shrink something to fix this? it does not even need to be by alot. Also, I seen you fixed the website logo being left aligned too far, wonderful job! Only issue is the bottom 80% (About?) is not clickable, like there is an invisible image covering it, making it almost impossible to click. This is probably not a big issue for most, but I personally use it as if it is a "Home" button.
