Another hint to get a great vb4 look is:
in the template stylebridge.css under:
.tborder, .tborder2, .tcat,. thead

add this:

moz-box-shadow: -2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar forumbits_shadow_color};
-webkit-box-shadow: -2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar forumbits_shadow_color};
-moz-border-radius-top{vb:stylevar right}: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
-moz-border-radius-top{vb:stylevar left}: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
-webkit-border-top-{vb:stylevar right}-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
-webkit-border-top-{vb:stylevar left}-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};

and in a table set cellspacing to zero - like:

cellspacing="0"

See image what you get.

Hello Coroner, congratulations for your article.
I am trying use it to update my style from 3.8 to 4.0 but I have problems with any parts of the forum, forumhome, forumdisplay, showthread..etc
I am testing it online here

Can you suggest me how to risolve these mistakes?

Thanks

[daveaite]

interesting. informational as well. good job

Very interesting Coroner....seems like you've basically matched variables from the old vB3 CCS to the vB4 Stylevars, so that a mod relying on the old variables would instead be able to pull the correct ones from the new style system. Is that correct?

If so...is there any way you (or anyone else here for that matter) might be able to take this a step further, and make something that would allow us to automatically convert over our colour schemes from vB3 styles to the stylevars of vB4 styles? Looks like one might be able to do that simply using what you've got here, reading down stylebridge.xml as if it was a checklist, but it'd be a great relief to a low of us who have no coding skills to speak of whatever if that process could be automated. ^^;

so, what i'm getting from reading this description, is that you can take a mod made for vb 3.8, do the steps found above, and your mod will now be able to work on vb 4.0?

If thats true, could i get the gxboxlive mod to work on my vb 4.0.1 site? The author of that mod is saying he very likely wont be making the gxboxlive mod to work on the vb 4. ????

Thanks!!!!

@RollaJedi
Nope. You have to change the vars and phrases inside the templates. Also you need to change all the php scripts to vb4.

This is only the style. You can leave the 99 percent of templates (without vars and phrases).

@Mukashi:
Yes, thats absolutely correct.
You also need to implement - the two templates and the php script inside the mod.

This has helped me out a lot.
I'm having 2 problems, maybe you've run into it?

My tables don't have a inner border anymore. All the rows look like one cell now. Also, if I have say 4 columns, if I use thead, the first column uses as much space as possible even though it's only set to width of 5% and the other 3 are squished.

Any ideas?

EDIT:
I figured out part of the problem.
$alt1_background and $alt2_background aren't registered in the example so I wasn't getting the background colors. For the width I just set the class in the TR instead of TD. Now I just need to figure out what is making my logo image have a border

[Coroner]

That's a think, I've fixed later (sorry, I haven't upgraded the file yet).

To fix the image border problem, just insert (into the style) the following part:

.img {
border: 0;
}

I ended up changing the

to

And it worked. I'll switch it back and try adding the img css property.

[Coroner]

I've change the Stylebridge now for vB 4.0.2 (incl. the image patch).

[msnhockey]

this worked great for switching a 3,8 to 4.0.2 but the only problem i had is that it made the stuff on my forum home page bigger...
any ideas on what i can do to shrink in half...

thanks
