Area 51 & phpBB3
I am just wondering, is the layout of the beta1 & this Area 51 Forum going to be anywhere close to the final layout of phpBB3?

No. From whats been said, it's a completley different style, and is REALLY cool.
Re: Area 51 & phpBB3
Umm, not quite. As far as I know, the style you see here will come with the final release. But there will also be a completely new and as of yet unreleased, secret style in the final release.
Re: Area 51 & phpBB3
so a different style isn't just a different colourscheme? Interesting, I hadn't thought the layout was changing. Now I'm more excited 8O
In vino veritas
Re: Area 51 & phpBB3
Erm.. Well, we're in a realm of confusing terms here, i.e. templates, skins, styles, color schemes, etc. (basically, all stuf that control the way the board looks, but not necessarily in the same way).
I think that the new secret "style" (I don't have an Olympus install at hand to check, but I think that term is also used in the ACP for stuff basically controlled by CSS - colours, fonts, etc.) is a completely new template, although that might just be because I've always assumed as much.

Re: Area 51 & phpBB3
right so anything and everything could be changed in the upcoming style. Thanks for clarifying

Re: Area 51 & phpBB3
Style is the term for the three components imageset, theme and template. The imageset is holding a set of the images used, a theme are the CSS and the template consist of the .html files. So, the new style will have all three components.
Re: Area 51 & phpBB3
Thanks for clarifying that, I'll try to remember
Re: Area 51 & phpBB3
Hmm, I hadn't heard of a new secret theme before. It just adds to the anticipation though. The tensions mounts. The plot thickens.
