this pic is the main blue bars acidmods uses. I need them to be acidmods blue which is #243367 You must zoom way in on the edges of the picture, the bars in the origional have some rounded corners and some square corners. the background needs to change to black. this includes the corners of the bars.

header bars, this image repeats across the page, these two images are what are needed for the color change theme if you wanted to try other colors. but we need am blue right as it will be default

we could create the image, and apply it as a single image, but it could restrict the theme from stretching and filling 90% of the page. the forum would be in a fixed box




here is the complete img pack. take these pics, and change the blue to color of choice. please provide the color code (if possible) so I can change the bars and accents to color of your theme. for the theme changer. we WILL have a theme color changer on the new site so we are not limited to the default blue 

[admin]not complete see below[/admin]

we need to take the shading off the buttons (reply, add poll, notify, etc) I wil find and attach the image

I think that bottom line may be coming from there also. the bottom section is fine, but the bars look bad because the forum shrinks the image as needed. lets try them all black. There is also some kinda border around the bars also, lets try one with it in all black, and one without...hell throw a few options up and we will try them until we like one.


I fixed the bottom line, it was a bad line of code on the image, not to fix the shading on the image itself...help

I don't have a program to make .zip so I will attach images.
 
[admin]these have blue bars showing underneath the red/green bars in the backdrop, the main block red image has a bar with a green tint that is not super pleasing[/admin]

I can open them in rar.. I just can't make .zips.
I redid the banners to match...
I forgot to change the bottoms of the images with gray on them . You had wanted black on the blue one. But lets see how these look before I make changes.
green fades to black from 23ba00
the red fades to black from 920000

[admin]these are all fine[/admin]

Give me a few minutes for personal stuff and ill be right on it.
here you go, i fixed the bottoms of the main block, also I noticed there was some green left on one of the bars on something.. Thats gone now too.
I'm not sure if this is how you wanted it squared, but it looks nice to me. I never even noticed that the originals were square , or maybe I did and my brain said just fix it to match the rest.
I think the new_none should stay gray, but color the AM. so just the outer ring lights up red/green with new post?
EDIT: new backdrop here and a few other fixes...
backdrop_bg
menu_gfx
both fixed.
what do you think about purple?

I was thinking about a purple, I  like the purp too. Maybe later I'll make a purple one. But Matt will have to match all the lines and stuff to the purp too.
Matt I redid the Menu_gfx , thats where the blue lines were, but do you want me to round off the bottoms again?
I'll add those other icons to the packs... be ready in a few.

in reply #8 above, the backdrop_bg has blue lines in the red image, and the menu_gfx should all be rounded. (it was a code error confusing me)

ok so I have been thinking about the blue bars at the top of the forum and trying to round the ends. I have made a test in paint that may work, i cut the backdrop down to 384px from the top and pasted it on top of the bottom section of the main block.

test this for me so I can see how it looks.
only working on the far bottom section of the image. continue the bars across the bottom image of the main block, be careful to align the bars correctly and round off the ends of the bars

ok.
One more thing, can I make a personal theme? I will stick to the size and over all shape of everything. I would like to make a metal, Flame , skull theme.
Also check the backdrop 's on all of them as I redid them.

you may make what you like while we are testing on the test site. when Robin gets back we will pick the few best themes to integrate with the real forum.

I made notes on this green image posted above need to fill top bar, and round corners all ends see pic

can you make the backdrop image without the two bars? I think the blue green and red are done. I have zipped and archived the files. today I will do the purple theme and try to get the header bars coded right for the curved logo

I was going to wait till you had all the bugs out and were final on images and then iwas going to use the final images as a base for skull theme... So if you think everything is ready I'll make the new theme today.
still confused... do you want me to black n gray shade the bars or just black them out?

yep, that green main block image worked, I think we need to copy it into all three colors. the backdrop image will be fine if we just remove the bars and I can use it for all themes.
