Look For A Skin Change On Old Forum
Hello Ape and Jenny
January 2022 I reinstalled my oldest forum and change the skin as it was messed up due to it being a deleted forum for over five years. I changed the skin to a basic blue white I think it was The Crow skin I used, I am finding the white background too much for my eyes. The forum was a phpbb3 but changed it to phpbb2 to look at the skins however most are too depressingly dark or far too garish for me.
I would like some ideas and help please, at the moment light blue with a grey centre of the other way around would suit me.
Some of the skins I have tried will not let me change the colour of the background centre of the forum or change the background skin. Skouliki made a background skin for me that I wish to continue to use.

Re: Look For A Skin Change On Old Forum
Hello Jenny,
After spending a lot of time looking at skins for phpbb2 and phpbb3 I decided on keeping the blue and to try and change the white to grey. I did try changing the white yesterday, however only the widgets and part of the top changed which was ok however I had to reinstall the previous skin so it's back to what it was last week.
The navigation buttons I am not sure these can be changed? I have not tried it yet, I am sure some of the hit skin navigation buttons cannot be changed on some skins unlike others that I have tried.
I picked this skin last year, as it has that lined effect at the top of the categories, the buttons are the originals however Skouliki upgraded I think four that seem to disappear off the skin.
The forum icons are the original ones for the skin with a blue tick for new posts, however all the other forum icons including the moderation tools I have used from my UK TV Reporter Captures site.
I hope the codes are ok for you to tinker about with regarding the white background ? Maybe just improve the member profiles would be a good idea ?
Let me know if you would like to use the Test Account, oh yes it does work I had Skouliki, Brandon and Luzz on it at the weekend and Monday.
Regards
Cassini

Re: Look For A Skin Change On Old Forum
Hi @cassini
My thought's on the main forum / Home page.

As you can see it's sort of all blue but if you hover over the forum it will go really light grey.
I have not added this to your forum i have just made it by the Browser tools.
Post profile something like this maybe?

In your CSS Stylesheet i think you have this code, if not add it:
- Code:
.forabg, .forumbg {
background: url(https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/69/69/68/bgr10.png) repeat-x scroll center top #65A5D1;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
border: 2px solid #FFFFFF;
clear: both;
margin-bottom: 4px;
padding: 0 5px;
}
