I never removed that as it looked good on my screen. However it's indeed way too bright on your view.

Maybe it's my large screen. I use a 32" hdtv for a monitor.

Okay, I've made a new discovery, first time I've seen this with an smf theme. The theme looks like it does in the image I posted only when you log in as an admin. If you log in as a regular member with Firefox, it looks perfectly fine. Strange.


EDIT: Okay, I have to take it back. All is NOT well for regular members using firefox. The "show unread post since last visit" link is missing. Sigh.

Seems to be the same bug mentioned above your post. I'll look into it.

Any luck with that yet?

Thanks :)

I like this theme and it's very appropriate to the UK at present. There is no English British support built in and so if your forum uses English British language you'll find some of the images do not appear. To fix this, duplicate the Themes/Winter/images/english folder and upload it as english_british all the images then appear.

Regarding the Avatar in the middle at the top, I have, with a little experimentation using FireFox and the Inspect Element tool, found that the Avatar can be moved by editing the index.css style sheet thus.

Code ("Find:") Select
div#upper_section div.user
{
   width: 50%;
   float: right;
   overflow: auto;
   text-align: right;   
}


Code ("Change width to 35%") Select
div#upper_section div.user
{
   width: 35%;
   float: right;
   overflow: auto;
   text-align: right;   
}


The vertical element is inherited from the h1.forumtitle element and is thus dependent on the size of the size of the logo. With the logo removed the Avatar and the text to the right of it looks OK but with a bigger logo, the avatar is pushed down. I have not worked out how to overcome this vertical offset yet.

I hope this helps.

In addition to my CSS edit above, it is the size of my banner which forces down the user information. I have therefore edited my main_block.png file to extend the snow flakes down over the horizontal bar. It looks a lot better. See the screen shot attached. If you want to use my edited main block, then that is attached too.

I still feel there is room for improvement, there is too much empty space. And the search box is still missing. Anyway, for a short term use theme, it's nice.

Ohhh, after all this time of using this great theme, I've found a bug. The indicators for POLLS do not display. See attached example.

Checked it on two Forums and against other themes, the horizontal bars just do not appear.

I've had a play with the CSS to no avail.

[EDIT] Apologies, this problem is only with SMF 2.0 RC3, it works fine on RC2.

* Chas Large looks forward to Nas updating this theme for RC3 :)
