Darkness - Free vBulletin Template

[Sean]

Hey Holger yeah all new the new releases use this new style for the header, but the fix to change it back is very easy.
Im just about to leave for the shops, but if u check back in 1 hour i will post the code fix.

[holger]

Did you post the fix?

[Sean]

Sorry thx for reminding me.

goto your style manager and replace the header template with:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
 <tr>
  <td width="11"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/spacer.gif" alt="" /></td>
  <td width="135"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/spacer.gif" alt="" /></td>

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

now because the background is added using CSS so the style passes XHTML validation add the code below to your "MAIN CSS" in the section titled "Additional CSS Definitions"

.header {
background: url("http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums/images/Darkness/misc/top.jpg");
}

All u need to do now is upload your old header top.jpg to replace the new one.

Great Theme Sean...........

[holger]

Sean,

would like to change it but don't know what you mean with 2old header top.jpg"

From where do I get the old?

[Sean]

I was guessing you used the old version of Darkness and just upgraded and wanted the to use the same header as 3.5.3?

[holger]

Ohh sorry,

I am in the wrong forum here.

I mean the phpbb-Darkness2 template (and the Darknesswebsite)

Maybe you remember that the top image will be repaeted on the

higher resolutions screen which will look as a corrupted headerimage.

Your promised to show a solution by "adjusting" the topright image.

Did you already made that correction and if yes, where can I find it?

TIA

[Sean]

At the moment the best way to fix this problem for users using high resolutions it to add the header image using CSS and then having it fixed using CSS.

For example:

background: url("templates/ClanzDarkness2/images/top.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;

[Fragalot]

used that technique many times aswell... the only problem is, that the file is waay bigger than it should be, and therefore takes more bandwidth... taht's all

[Sean]

This is how it is already Fragalot, the above solution only stops the header from repeating when users have a resolution above 1280x1024
