New theme for MyBB, help please?

[Moneyman]

That's a new theme I'm working on.
Now let's say all that there is to say:
-I'm a noob at both HTML and CSS, so IDK how I should continue.

Any feedback please?
ALso, someone told me I should change the style of everything so it looks unique, what would you change if you were me?

Change everything, pretty much. Make people want it for the way it looks overall. Make it unique. Think of things that other theme's don't have, for example.

 

[Moneyman]

Exactly, but can you please give me an idea?

 

[Kashike]

Why not take a look at phpBB, MyBB, IPB, etc styles and see if there are things you like, and if so, replicate into your style. 🙂

 

[Moneyman]

Thank you for the feedback, I'm going to take a look now 🙂<br /><br />-- 18 Feb 2013, 14:50 --<br /><br />Any more feedbacks and ideas my fellow fp friends..?

Change the menu layout, change the welcome block, make it more unique. From the way it looks now, it's just the default theme but with different colors.

So now everything seems to be fine now, but if I may ask a question my dear friends, here it is:
I want to make rounded backgrounds for my forum. The code is url(url) repeatl; , right?
So, I want to have rounded corners only on the top of my forum, so how do I do that?
I mean, if my image had corners, then it would look like this:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Now, if I have rounded corners on the top of my thead_bg, the result would look like this:

(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)

That means there will be blank space there.
What I want is this:
(||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||) (the rounded corners being on the top)

So what is the code so I can do it?
Thanks y'all 🙂

 

[J Greig]

Instead of an image, use CSS. In the thead class, make sure to have the background set to a specific color. Check this thread: http://community.mybb.com/thread-73261.html

That should help you with what you need.

Thank you so much J Greig 🙂<br /><br />-- 19 Feb 2013, 03:24 --<br /><br />EDIT: Unfortunately this doesn't work.
Here is the code for thead:

        background: #be0000;
        -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 05px;
        -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 05px;
        -moz-border-radius-topleft: 05px;
        -moz-border-radius-topright: 05px;
        border-top-left-radius: 05px;
        border-top-right-radius: 05px;

It gives me this (see attachment)
It seems that it has some sort of IDK what.
Any help please? 😀

 

[J Greig]

[Moneyman]

Which browser are you using?

 

[Moneyman]

I'm using FF.
Btw, new problem; take a look at the attachment.
I want the footer to have a line break before it being displayed.
Here's my footer code:

<br />
			<div class="bottommenu">
				<div class="float_right">{$lang_select}</div>
				<div>
					<span class="smalltext"><a href="{$mybb->settings['contactlink']}">{$lang->bottomlinks_contactus}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['homeurl']}">{$mybb->settings['homename']}</a> | <a href="#top">{$lang->bottomlinks_returntop}</a> | <a href="#content">{$lang->bottomlinks_returncontent}</a> | <a href="<archive_url>">{$lang->bottomlinks_litemode}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=syndication">{$lang->bottomlinks_syndication}</a></span>
				</div>
			</div>
			</div>
		<hr class="hidden" />
			<div id="copyright">

I tried inserting a <br /> before this:

But it still doesn't work.







Edit: J Greig, I fixed the problem. It was some sort of conflict with tborder.

 

[J Greig]

Well the rounded thead is looking OK for me, I don't see any grey area behind it. I am using Chrome.

 

[Moneyman]

As I said, I fixed it 🙂
Btw, can you please see the attachment?

 

[J Greig]

Btw, can you please see the attachment?

I have already fixed it.

 

[Moneyman]

May I ask what code you put there so it can be fixed?

 

[J Greig]

<br /> but on the line above where you put it.

 

[Moneyman]

Right, thanks!
The them's looking pretty good now 🙂
