subGreen phpBB2 style

Overview

subGreen is a style for phpBB 2.0. It is based on the original phpBB2 subSilver style. The only difference is the green color instead of the blue one.

• A set of green subSilver images (changed blue to green).
• A set of green subSilver rank images (changed blue to green).
• A theme configuration file that contains the green color schema.
• A template that's identical to the original phpBB 2.0 subSilver template (except some necessary file name adjustments).
• The Style Color Display MOD that I found at www.phpbb2.de. It displays the color right to the color code in the Edit Theme page (Administration Panel) and makes it much easier to modify colors.

You can see it in action at www.ktauber.com/forums_green.html.

phpBB is a high powered, fully scalable, and highly customisable open-source bulletin board package. The official home page is www.phpbb.com.

Installation

1. Copy the directory subGreen and all it's sub-directories to your phpBB2 templates/ directory.
2. If you use the flat file template caching system, do not forget to create the cache/ and cache/admin/ directories with proper access rights.
3. Start your web browser and go to the phpBB 2.0 Administration Panel.
4. Click Style Admin / Add. You will see a list of available styles. Click Install right to subGreen.
5. Click General Admin / Configuration and select subGreen as Default Style. If all registered users should use the subGreen style, then click the Yes button in the Override user style row. Otherwise you must edit your user profile. Then click the Submit button at the bottom of the General Configuration page.
6. If you like to use the rank images, then click User Admin / Ranks to go to the Rank Administration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why have you made subGreen?
Because I love the phpBB2 subSilver style, but the blue color does not fit to the style of my site. So I started to play with the subSilver color settings in the phpBB2 Administration Panel and I used an image manipulation program to change the images to a green style.

How can I change the subGreen colors?
Start your web browser, go to the phpBB 2.0 Administration Panel, click Style Admin / Management and click subGreen Edit. Now you are in the Edit Theme page where you can change all colors (except those of the images of course).

I don't like the orange table header text color introduced with subGreen 1.2. How can I get back the previous used light green one?
Start your web browser, go to the phpBB 2.0 Administration Panel, click Style Admin / Management, click subGreen Edit, enter BBEEBB in the Font Colour 3 field and click Save Settings.

How have you modified the color of the subSilver images?
I've used Replace Color (menu Image / Adjust) in Photoshop for all images except cellpic1.gif and cellpic2.jpg where I used Hue/Saturation (menu Image / Adjust). Creating a Photoshop Action (palette Actions) and using Batch (menu File / Automate) makes it easy to modify all images at once.
