Change forum layout to black

Frenzy · 18 Feb 2010 at 14:26

Hey, silly question. I noticed some people have changed their forum layout from the standard blue to black. How do i do this as i cant find the option in user cp, unless im being really.. dumb :S

It's a theme.

Install the 'Stylish' addon first https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 then see below.

http://userstyles.org/styles/browse/overclockers.co.uk then Dark v1.3.

You need Firefox too.

Ah, cheers guys

There's a big thread on it somewhere, a search should bring it up

Frenzy · 18 Feb 2010 at 14:32

I tried searching "change forum layout" "forum layout" "black forum" nothing came up

But sorted now, dark v1.3 is pretty nice

Having gone back to black, I must admit it's annoying how the trust, quote, multi and quick buttons are still blue.

I must be on the old version as its white text for me

gave up on the black myself, gone for the light version now, goes better with my desktop colour scheme

You'll want the updated theme then. There's a couple here, including the decent version of the black theme:

Me loves the new Light v1.0 OcUK forum

EDIT: DevianT v1.1 is even better.

But where are all OcUK banners and ads gone?

Once you go black, you never go back.

I think you have an old version or something as I don't have that problem.
Also, anything you don't like in the theme is easily changed. First thing I did was set the max-width on all images to match my screen res.

I've sorted it now, got the update from the page I linked to with the new logo as well.

How did you set the max image res?

Yes, it's an add-on for FF that allows it to be changed.

Oooh I like this black theme. Very slick!

Kudos to who designed it, think I will be sticking with this. :cool:

I'm not racist or anything but the blue is better then the black.
