fatascalza, that blue_glass template is just an alteration of the basic subSilver. So just use subSilver but modify some things on it in the admin panel.
For subSilver, to have your logo show in the center, you put it in:
Admin panel>general admin>configuration>site description.
On this support forum, in the "site description" section, we have the rules listed in orange as words typed in that section. But instead of having typed words, an image could be put there instead.
To have the ForumUp logo in the top left corner not show, use the ForumUp logo change tool in the admin panel and replace it with an image that matches the background color or with a clear image.
To change the different colors of the various fields on subSilver (or subRed) here are what some of them do:
Active Link Colour: I think that is the color of url links written in posts.
Background Colour: The color of the page behind the forum itself. Parts of it get seen around the whole forum. On this forum it is the color around the forum, that shows on the other side of the skinny orange line.
Hover Link Colour: The color a link turns to when you merely set your mouse over the link, but didn't click yet. That is called "hovering"
Link Colour: The color the words of links will be. On the index page, the names of all the forum sections are actually links, so those colors will change.
Text Colour: The color that words that get typed will be.
Visited Link Colour: The color that a link in posts will turn to after a person has clicked on that link, and then goes back to the post where they first saw the link.
Font Colour 1: The color of the words in quote boxes in posts, and also the color of the copyright info at that bottom of the page.
Font Colour 2: The color of the word "moderator" at the bottom of the forum in the Who is Online section. Also the color a moderator's name will show up as when a moderator is logged in.
Font Colour 3: The color of the word "admin" at the bottom of the forum in the Who is Online section. Also the color an admin's name will show up as when a moderator is logged in. But, also, the color of the column labels on the index page, the words, "Forum", "Topics", "Posts", "Last Post"
Table Cell Class 1: The color of the first and then alternate color of post backgrounds in theads.
Table Cell Class 2: The color of the second and then alternate color of post backgrounds in threads.
Table Cell Class 3: I don't remember
Table Cell Colour 1: The background color for quote boxes in posts
Table Cell Colour 2: The color of the header for the last columns.
Table Cell Colour 3: I don't remember
Table Header Class 1: The color of the top of column one on the index page, and the top of the header in post view.
I don't remember what all everything else does offhand. You can experiment, but when experimenting,
BE SURE TO HAVE ANOTHER TEMPLATE SET AS THE DEFAULT, AND DO NOT SET YOUR FORUM TO OVERRIDE USER CHOICE. That is important in case things go very wrong. You would not want users or yourself to not be able to see and use your forum normally.
You can have an image show behind the forum (which is what is called the "background"), that will be seen around the edges. To do that, you use a script as follows:
You put the following script in one of the forum description boxes under Management, the place where you type in one of the descriptions for forum sections. The script will not show on the index page, so you can put it under any text you already have in one of the description boxes for one of the sections.
| Code: |
<script>
document.body.background = "http://put_the_url_to_YOUR image here.jpg";
</script> |
Of course, instead of having: Only registered users can see links on this forum! Register or Login on forum! |
image here.jpg
you put the real url to YOUR image. You have to have your image hosted online someplace.
Make sure you use the exact punctuation in the script. You must have the quotation marks around the URL of the image.
