Peggy 08-11-2006, 10:28 PM A decidedly feminine style with a "great gatsby" feel.
LIVE DEMO (http://www.vbimpressions.com/forums/index.php?styleid=6)
Download the attached Zip file, and unzip to your computer.
Upload the entire peach folder into your forum/images directory, so that your path is images/peach
Import the xml file by going to your ACP --> styles and templates --> download/upload styles --> browse --> select the xml file where you have it saved on your computer --> import
* If you need your site's name placed on the header, please request it in this thread.
** By request, I've added the font used on the header, to the download section, for your convenience.
Enjoy!
FAYESY 08-18-2006, 02:00 PM Hiya Peggy, I love this design - I got my first ever VBulletin forum a few days ago & have no idea how to design a web set & have no idea how to customise a header :(
Is there any chance you could do a header for me? I have just started a scrapbooking forum http://scrapstars.com
Something simple, maybe with a scrapping theme or simply using some images of stars??
Thank you in advance :) You are so talented.
Chris 08-18-2006, 03:56 PM FAYESY
Hello and welcome to vbimpressions. Yes Peggy is a great designer.
I am wondering have you chose one of her styles for your forum? What colors are you wanting to use if you haven't. I would be happy to help out anyway I could.
Peggy 08-18-2006, 04:34 PM Hi Fayesy, welcome to Themes by Design. Welcome, also, to the world of vBulletin. ;)
I 'm happy that you like my styles. I just popped over to your forum, and YIKES we have to get rid of that default vBulletin skin, lol. I'm happy to help in any way that I can. You said that you like this style, did you want a customized header for this one? Or did you want to go for more of a country theme? or crafts?
I'm here tonight, but have to work most of tomorrow and Sunday. I look forward to working with you.
FAYESY 08-18-2006, 08:02 PM I really like the soft peach tones of this skin & would love a header that would blend in & look like part of the package - I would definitly like to have a few stars in the header. I really love this paper http://www.basicgrey.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=42&products_id=470 - & wonder if you could take inspiration from this? prehaps using the design for the forum post buttons & some stars in a peachy tone - does that make any sense??
Any help you can give me would be amazing :) I am finding the forum to be so complex to figure out (VB controls) lol - I am a real techno newbie :)
Huge Hugs
Faye xx
Peggy 08-18-2006, 08:13 PM No I'm afraid I'm not getting what you want Faye. Are you wanting an entirely new style? Or just a header for this one?
If you're wanting an entirely new skin, I charge $50, but I'm afraid I won't be able to accommodate you til after Sept 5, when my son goes back to school.
If you just want a customized header for this one, I can do that for free.
Are you having a hard time getting your vb set up the way you want it? If you need help, give a holler
FAYESY 08-19-2006, 05:13 AM Sorry just a header for this one :)
I will probably pay you to design a new skin after sept the 5th - I will work on some ideas. For now I really like the soft colours of this design & a header for this would be FAB.
I may have to give you a holler hun when it comes to installing the new skin :)
Peggy 08-19-2006, 06:25 AM Sweetie, installing the style is the easiest thing you'll ever do on vB. ;) I'll give you detailed instructions when it's time.
I have to work today, but I'll get you a header fixed up tonight. I hope that's ok.
FAYESY 08-19-2006, 10:03 AM That would be great, thanks very much. :)
Peggy 08-20-2006, 08:45 PM Faye, this is something the EG whipped up for you. Is this anything close to what you wanted? If not let me know, and I'll work on it. I'm sorry it's taking so long, I had a very full work schedule this weekend :(
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 07:22 AM That looks good :) I love the Memories are forever line FAB. Thank EG
Chris 08-21-2006, 07:26 AM You are very welcome FAYESY, glad I could help out. :)
Peggy 08-21-2006, 07:29 AM Faye, this is something the EG whipped up for you. Is this anything close to what you wanted? If not let me know, and I'll work on it. I'm sorry it's taking so long, I had a very full work schedule this weekend :(
Wonderful! Hey if the colors need some adjusting to match the peach background better, I'm sure Chris will do that for you. Just give him a holler here.
Chris 08-21-2006, 07:48 AM Actually here it is on the background that you used for the style Peggy. I think the colors worked great together. Let us know if you put it up FAYESY, I would like to see how it looks. :)
I can make it smaller if you want it that way. Just let me know.
Peggy 08-21-2006, 11:17 AM I agree Chris, they do look good together
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 12:59 PM WOW they look amazing together :) So do I just download the normal skin? & how do I add the banner. EG hun if I figure this out the skin will be online in an hour or so :)
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 01:00 PM How do I intergrate the 2?? I am a total techno newbie....
Peggy 08-21-2006, 07:08 PM Upload this style as usual. Be sure that you drop the entire peach folder into your forums' images folder so that your file path says images/peach/nameoffolder/imagename.gif (or whatever).
Then upload his image, OR the header that he did for you with his logo on the peach background. Upload it into the misc folder.
Go into your acp, import the xml file.
Now you have dreamy peach style. Go to the StyleVars in the style, and change the header title to whatever the name is of the image you uploaded.
If you have any questions or get stuck, just holler
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 07:12 PM My DH did this earlier but we hit a big problem with the fact that it means our gallery is hidden - we have no idea what to do to change this... Can you help??
Chris 08-21-2006, 07:20 PM FAYESY if you changed styles and had a gallery added to your first style then you are gonna have to make sure the new style knows this or it won't show it. What is the link to your forum?
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 07:54 PM its http://scrapstars.com
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 07:55 PM Should say my hubby uninstalled the new skin - we also could not figure out how to add the header you created to the skin... Arghhhhhhhhh my head hurts.
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 08:16 PM Double (http://scrapstars.com) post sorry
Peggy 08-21-2006, 08:21 PM ok if you're going to use the header that Chris did in post #14, upload it to the images/peach/misc folder via ftp.
Then go to your acp and go into Styles and Templates --> style manager --> in the right hand window, next to your style name, click on the dropdown menu, and click on StyleVars.
Then go down to where it says something about the title or header image. About halfway down the page. Make sure the file path says
images/peach/misc/header.jpg
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 09:13 PM will try this again in the morning - my hubby is saying that although the skin will work - for some reason it hides my gallery, - any idea of what I need to do to change this?
Peggy 08-21-2006, 09:27 PM yes. all of the template edits that you had to do for the gallery in the other skin, you have to do the same template edits in this skin.
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 09:32 PM Ok hun, have no idea of what template changes were made as this was done for us by the people we got the gallery from - but my hubby will see if he can figure it out - although hes getting tired so he may give up & have a nap.
Peggy 08-21-2006, 09:35 PM ok. If your hubby isn't able to figure it out, maybe me or Chris could do them, but you'd have to trust one of us to go into your admincp and do it. Just make sure you either get the instructions from the people, or maybe they'll do it for you again.
But if you want us to do it, get the instructions. I've done this lots of times, people at vbFAQ will vouch for me ;)
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 09:38 PM Hun what size should I make the header? I want it a tad smaller - sorry to be such a pain!!!
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 09:39 PM Hunny I may have to take you up on this offer :) We will see if he can figure it out.
Chris 08-21-2006, 09:39 PM Why couldn't she make the default style the parent style so that the the new style will copy over the gallery settings?
Chris 08-21-2006, 09:40 PM what size do you want the neader Fay?
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 09:52 PM its a tad long hun - the one we saved on the peach background. No idea in pixel what size we want to be honest a bit bigger than the vbulletin one I guess would be FAB.
My hubby managed to figure out the gallery YAY! Almost set. :)
FAYESY 08-21-2006, 09:55 PM You can log on to see how it looks at the moment :) Hubby uploaded the header with the white backgroung & I like that size - http://scrapstars.com
Chris 08-21-2006, 10:02 PM ok I will fix it for you and have it here in a second.
Peggy 08-21-2006, 10:03 PM ok if you use the header with the peach background, it's going to blend right into the background., you're not going to even see the blank peachpart.
But we can cut it down
Peggy 08-21-2006, 10:04 PM gah he beat me to it, lol
Peggy 08-21-2006, 10:04 PM You can log on to see how it looks at the moment :) Hubby uploaded the header with the white backgroung & I like that size - http://scrapstars.com

Peggy 08-22-2006, 10:59 AM awwwwwwww sending you a few back!
We aim to please :D
Chris 08-22-2006, 11:10 PM Your welcome. :)
Schai 08-30-2006, 06:19 PM I installed this skin (made my own header adjustments) and have a problem with it. For some reason, even though I fixed the width control to 100% to accomodate, it is not working with a particular hack I have installed. None of my other skins have had this issue, and I'm not sure if there's something that controls the width of the forums or prevents shrinking, or whatnot in the xml?
Peggy 08-31-2006, 12:10 AM This style was made for 90% width, however I don't see how it would hurt to use 100%.
Which hack are you having compatibility problems with? I ask because this is the first time I've heard about a hack issue with my styles.
Cherbear 09-17-2006, 12:34 PM Excellent Skin. Could you please make a header that has Canadian Freebies N Stuff on it.
Thank's.
Peggy 09-17-2006, 03:28 PM I sure will Cherbear. As with the other style, I'll have the header for you by tomorrow. I'll put them both in one zip and leave it here. I hope that's ok
Cherbear 09-17-2006, 09:43 PM Sound's good to me and thank's again. Wish I knew how to do stuff like what you do. You have some excellent skins.
Peggy 09-17-2006, 10:35 PM Thank you very much for the compliments :D
phovanxua 11-01-2006, 11:27 AM Thank you .
scarlet 11-29-2006, 12:57 PM I installed this theme on my board, but all of my graphics point to *********. How do I fix this??
scarlet 11-29-2006, 01:18 PM I got the images to work for the most part, but this is how my page looks now. :( I want very much to use this theme because it is awesome. Please help?

Peggy 11-29-2006, 02:01 PM scarlet, sorry I didn't see this, I just got home from work. See your pm please.
scarlet 11-29-2006, 02:57 PM Thanks for the reply; I've wrote you back. :)
scarlet 11-29-2006, 07:52 PM I have a quick question; what's the option name for changing the way you view the post in the threads. You can either have it set to where the avatar, reputation, etc. is on TOP of the actual post - or you can have it set up like it is here - to the left of the post?
Wonderful!
you are one of the best Creator vBulletin Styles
thanks

I never saw this post either! hmmmmmmmmmmm...
scarlet, I hope you got an answer somewhere by now. But in case you didn't, the profile info on the left is called postbit legacy.
Log in to your ACP
Go to vBulletin Options
on the right, select Style & Language Settings
scroll down to Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template
select Yes
Save

WhaLberg 10-05-2007, 08:20 AM This is really a great skin, I really like using it. But Peggy, aren't font sizes big?
Angel_Kirsch 04-13-2008, 08:40 PM I love this theme! :D I attempted to make my own custom banner. :o I need to adjust it down but I thought it came out well and wanted to share. :)
