UKBL ~ Choose Multiple Forum Colors - like VB.Org
Developer Last Online: Feb 2012 
UKBL ~ Choose Multiple Forum Colors - like VB.Org With recent requests to do something similar to VB.org without all the complications of seperate CCS scripts and pages, Now you'll be able to change your forums color, Just like VB.org  This hack will show you how to make and customise your own forum styles - Great FunPLEASE NOTE, The demo Screenshots are not the Colors you will be getting  They are just quick examples i made to show different colors. The Colours are custom made by you when you Edit the CSS in your Styles template folder  Lets get Started First you will need to decide how many colors you want, For example we'll chose just 4, but you can have as many or as little as you want. Then decide which forum style you want to use to offer your color changes, I've used just the VB default style for this example. So here we go.......... 1. Go to your Admin CP and select Style Manager 2. Click the Link at the bottom - Add New Style 3. Parent Style - Select the Style that you want to offer Color Changes on, Normally this would be your chosen default style, and name it Default - Green Allow User selection - Yes Display order - 20 Then Save 4. You will see that you've created a copy of your default style called default green. Now we'll need to play with our Colors 5. On your defalt Green style click on All Style Options and GO, scroll down untill you come to the Body CSS Then basically you need to work your way down this changing Background Colors, font colors etc,, If you click on one of the colored squares you will bring up a selector of colors which can let you chose the color you want without having to know Hex color numbers. Trust me, I've not done this before and already within minutes i was making different forum styles, It really is that simple, The key word here is experiment You'll love itTo see your changes save and then click on the Forum Home Page link at the top right of your screen. So basically thats what we need to do to make our different color Styles, Do a new Default Style for each color you want. Color Squares Next we'll need our color Squares Just make your own in the color which best represents your Style and save to your forums /images/misc folder To fit nicely in the bottom navbar, I made mine 13 x 13 pixels and made them in paint.net, You can use photoshop or even windows paint Half way there Now comes the Fun Part We need to Make our Color Squares Clickable so for that we'll have to edit a bit of code. Open Notepad or a similar Text editor and add the following Code
Now we will need to add our url of our style to the Front of that code like this
You can find out which Style id you need in the Style Manager in your AdminCP, Next we add the url of our color square. If you already havn't done so, Upload your Color squares to your forums image/misc folder and use the full url to link to that in the code, so now our code will be like this
Then we add a spacer Code to the end of our coded like this
Thats it, Then you do that with all the colors and save them one after the other, so you end up with one long line of code
Thats the code done, Now to add a few words to the Front of it
Remember to add a unedited Link back to your normal Style so members can keep using the original, You can use a white color square for this. and thats it  save your work Next we'll need to upload the code to our footer template of our Parent Style Go to Default (Parent) style in the Admin CP and select All style Options > Edit Templates > Footer and then find
and below it add your code, Then save. You'll see that it will copy to all the child styles automatically You should get something along the lines of this Thats all folks Please Click Install and i'll support 100% Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

 I guess when admins change their own colors they'll do it with a bit more care and attention, God forbid anyone having a forum with those colors

Plus this is a quite and simple way for people not advanced in coding and databases, to have a similar function to their site, If i wanted to copy VB.orgs code i'd copy the source code, but thats not the idea.  My Heading states "Choose Multiple Forum Colors - like VB.Org" Notice it says "Like" Not spitting image or a copy. also "With recent requests to do something similar to VB.org without all the complications of seperate CCS scripts and pages" i'm sorry if its not met your expectations
