Anyone developing arty's styles for 3.3

[durangod]

Just be aware folks that some extensions will not function properly on the Arty Black, BlackRed theme. Not really sure why but i have found several that will not display correctly or if at all. So consider that before using these old themes.

I was curious why there are Home and Forums buttons and also search, login, and register links along with a login icon. I prefer the icons i dont see a reason to have the additional search, login and register links unless we use them as an image alt of some kind sort of thing.

Do i just need to remove those extra links from the files?

UPDATE:

Part of this answer is here viewtopic.php?t=2419106

Then looks like the rest of it is caused by the navbar secondary css. So looks like i will need to edit the css code (stylesheet.css)

Code: Select all

.navbar.secondary {
  color: #ef4a43;
  display: none;  /* added to remove secondary navbar */
}

Also if you install or use the phpbb official pages extension here is the icon that goes with that for the blackred theme. You will need this because
the default icon from the extension has a white background.

Below are the modified psd (photoshop) and gif files if someone wants to do a better job

Perhaps you should create a topic in the style support section.

Good idea, thanks I may move my last 2 posts over there and remove it from here.

Just leave them as they are and post in the discussion/support forum.

Ok

Hi, in the last few days I have created graphics based on Olympus for the phpBB-pages-extension and will put them online on my site. It is as if there is a need.

With kind regards

I've updated the Black style to 3.3.11.
Black 3.3.11

The Black Red style, also in 3.3.11, is inherited from Black and requires it to be installed.
Black Red 3.3.11

Topic on my board

Feel free to submit the update to CDB.

Would it be possible to merge it with the original contribution, rather than creating a new one dedicated to version >= 3.3.11?
Or maybe just add me as an occasional contributor, which would allow me to send a new revision?

I added you as a co-author in the original contribution.

Curious question about this theme. Is it something you are working on or will this have to wait?

I haven't had the time to get into the project yet. Stay tuned to this topic, I'll let you know when it's done.

One question though, what do you like most about this style? The clean style and colours or the fact of having a sidebar?
If I remove the sidebar to move its elements around, as on other styles, would that cause you any problems?

I'm asking because we'll have to adapt the layout to make it responsive.
It's not a big problem but, personally, I don't think the sidebar adds much to the style. Especially as moving elements around on small screens will confuse users, who may not be able to find their way around.

[CyrusG]

Thanks for the reply. The sidebar is not forced and can be removed. I like the layout itself and wish the theme would be a bit like Basic. Keep the colors and make the theme a little more responsive.

I also dont really care about sidebars, their benefit is small compared to other stuff.

Did you know that you can easily change the colours of the Basic style?

By adding these two lines to the _custom_config.html file and recompiling the style with the SCSS Compiler extension, you'll have the Basic style with Helion colours:

Code: Select all

$primary-color: #2372bb;
$secondary-color: #bc2a2a;
