subRebel phpBB2 style

Overview

subRebel is a style for phpBB 2.0. It is based on the original phpBB2 subSilver style. The only difference is the dark blue/red color instead of the blue/orange one.

It's based on J. Timothy Bryant's style at www.rebelfaithful.com. Thanks Tim.

• A set of dark blue/red subSilver images (changed blue to dark blue and orange to red).
• A set of green subSilver rank images (changed blue to dark blue and orange to red).
• A theme configuration file that contains the subRebel 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_rebel.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 subRebel 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 subRebel.
5. Click General Admin / Configuration and select subRebel as Default Style. If all registered users should use the subRebel 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)

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

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