Thanks, but I didn't change the paths, (it was right) but I tested the skin on my own computer (it worked!) and a "copy/paste" later, there was no more problem...
(I've just added somme "alt" in the menu to increase accessibility for the visual deficients ;-) )

I really like this theme and currently use it.  Is there any way to change the buttons to be in a standard row to give more room at the top for a logo?

Glad you solved it.

@ jazz
You need to modify index.template.php .. mainly delete the header's columns and put back the original template menu.

Great theme!

However, I tried to add my own logo but it doesn't blend in with the background. I'm not that "super" with photoshop so is there a way you could attach the psd of the logo? I'd greatly appreciate it. If you can't, then thanks in advance!

Code Select Expand

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td width="0%"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/xtLEFTa.gif"></td>
    <td width="100%" background="', $settings['images_url'], '/xtTOP.gif"></td>
    <td width="0%"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/xtRIGHTa.gif"></td>

A.M.A, Thanks for the information!  Could you give me an example of what I need to edit in index.template.php?  I'd like to completely remove the top section and add a button row below the member information.

Edited to add:  If there is anyone else who knows the answer to this, will you please let me know?  I'd really appreciate it!

[A.M.A]

Please use the attached file .. do not forget to upload the original menu buttons to xtSMF/images/english

 Great work!!  I might use this on one of mine too!!!

Excellent work. 

I've just installed it and funnily in the index board it does not use the translated words for (Board) Name , Posts and Latest. Everywere else in the board it is using, correctly, the language files for the language chosen (which is not English). Why is it not so in the index?

As for the menu, is there any chance to create an alternative which uses buttons but also allows you to put the board logo above (just like in the xtSMF standard) but instead on the left side replacing the standard xtSMF navigation menu? Thanks.

[A.M.A]

Sorry those strings were hard coded. To change them
in Boardindex.template.php look for:

<td class="catbg1', $category['new'] ? '2' : '', '">Name</td>
<td align="center" class="catbg1', $category['new'] ? '2' : '', '">Posts</td>     
<td class="catbg1', $category['new'] ? '2' : '', '">Latest</td>      

am afraid replacing the menu with buttons will make the design not good. You may use the right side or simply way at the top.

[bluesyrio]

Thanks, I will do those changes.

As for the template, what we had in mind is more or less this:

I'm not all too sure about the menu where it is placed, but... the thing is, I'm not very used to messing with templates. Any hints you could offer to do changes like that, would be welcome.

[A.M.A]

Where do you want the logo? top or right side.
