subBlack style for phpbb3

Post by harmlessgoat22 »

Hmmm, I was reading this post where someone was asking for the subBlack theme only for phpBB3. I told him/her that you couldn't get it. But then I thought. What if people started upgrading them before gold and got them working and updated the changes in the style throughout beta. Obviously, it wouldn't be based off the new layout, but it would still look good.

I decided to start trying to make subBlack for phpbb3. Here is a screenshot that is highly moddified to what I want it to look like, because for some reason it won't show the changes in color I made in the stylesheet. So, here it is (view attachment)

Anyways, I was wondering what you guys think. About the idea, and about my "screenshot"

Also, on the screenshot I didn't change some of the colors that need to be changed, specifically in the header.

Do I need to ask permission from the creater of subBlack to do this?

Thanks.

I took some liberties that subBlack phpbb2 didn't have, such as I like the dark grey color for "Who is online", "Birthdays", etc. because I think it draws too much attention to them if they are white or yellow, but I still plan to have the header of those sections Yellow/Orange

Thank you very much, but I still need the author of subBlacks help before this can become a phpbb3 style. First, I need him to make any changes he would like to the template files. Second, there are a few new images in phpbb3 that need to be made, by him. If he made the first ones, then he can make the new ones fit better with the theme.

EDIT: Ok, I got the stylesheet thing working now. This are 3 ACTUAL screenshots
Well, in phpbb3 some of the image sizes are diferent than that of phpbb2. So I will need to get subblack to edit the images so they are larger in size. The most obvious images that are out of place are the New Post, New Reply, logo, view profile, aim, msnm, yim, and all the other things that go under someones post.

Enjoy the view...

Also take note of the "not so beautiful" BlackAndWhite 3.0, for phpbb 3.0.
It doesn't look too good, but in my oppinion, neither did the original. It just was very easy to make. Basically all the author did was greyscale all the images and did the stylesheet.

Take a look, hope you like it, but I don't care that much because I put absolutly no effort into it.

At the moment I am also working on converting Glass to phpbb3 but I ain't doing too well, so I probably won't be able to finish it. Whoever made it edited the template files a lot, and that is really hard to convert the layout from phpbb2 to 3

Also look forward (maybe) to subBlack Inverted. I'm trying to use the exact template files only invert EVERYTHING in the images and stylesheet
