Remodel DS to Your Own Liking |

| I have added a utility which will allow you to completely re-write the site theme to your liking. This means that in addition to the default site themes located under Control Panel -> Edit Profile, it is now possible for you to code your very own site theme to give the entire site any look that you would like.
To access the utility, go to Control Panel -> Look and Feel. If you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you will find a new section titled, Site Theme. Please read the short instructions which appear there, they will help you in getting started. Everything should be pretty much self explanatory beyond that. If anyone comes up with site themes they're proud of, I'd like to hear about it. I'll be looking at the custom site themes submitted by our members in search of the best ones so that they can be added to the default theme choices for everyone to use. This way, maybe we'll all have some more interesting themes to choose from in the near future! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, and be sure to point any of your friends who are good at layout work in the direction of this article. Enjoy... |

Now that is a fantastic addition. I'm going to have fun with it. ------ July 16, 2009, 8:52PM |

What are some codes I can use?
Good question. Have a look at the CSS file that is linked to from the Site Theme section. Look over the code and if you're familiar with CSS you'll see lots of places where you can play with colors and images/textures to start out. Maybe we can get a discussion going here or in the forums for questions and answers about modding the code. For those of you really serious about doing this, I'm also fully willing to add in new classes or whatever to make it more flexible / easy to use. Admittedly, this is a really old file and there is a lot of cleaning up that could be done to make it a little bit easier to handle, but some experimentation should get you heading in the right direction. ------ stercore tauri praevalet July 16, 2009, 9:31PM |

=| It most certainly was not your idea.
Just let me know when you've got a layout done and I'll have a look. ------ stercore tauri praevalet July 17, 2009, 1:36AM |

I see what you did thar!
Nice. When I find some time outside of making the video game we're making in class, I'll do some coding and maybe come up with a noob friendly template and perhaps a few neat layouts. Depends on how much time I get to do so though. I'm making a Metal Slug game in action script aka flash. ------ July 20, 2009, 12:50AM |

Hey eon, can't you make like the layout sharing, but do scheme sharing? I think the whole layout pages thing is great, like a catalogue.
Wouldn't that be easier? ------ ♥ August 1, 2009, 10:48AM |

If someone could get me a copy of the code they're trying to use (resulting in the code being rejected) that would be useful. Then I could maybe figure out why it's not going through. ------ stercore tauri praevalet August 1, 2009, 7:17PM |
