New "Notices" Look

OK I do not know about everyone else but the box that displays the Notices on 3.7 needed some changing. So I changed mine. Here it is if you want to use it.

1 template needs editing.

adminCP >> styles and template >> style manager >> edit templates(for your style) >> Navagation/Breadcrumb templates >> NAVBAR

Now find:


<if condition="$show['notices']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[notices]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$notices</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>Replace it with:


<if condition="$show['notices']">
<table style="border-bottom-style: solid ;
border-bottom-color: orange;
border-bottom-width: 2px; border-top-style: solid ;
border-top-color: orange;
border-top-width: 2px" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td style="width:18; background-color:lightyellow"><img src="http://www.YOURSITE.com/forum/images/statusicon/wol_error.gif" alt="notice" height="16" width="16"></td><td style="width:100%; background-color:lightyellow"><font face="arial" size="2" color="#646464">$notices</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>
Now all you have to do is change the URL to point to your own image. You can alter the colors or whatever you want. Have fun and enjoy. :D

You can see a DEMO of it on this site at the top of the page, while browsing with the Themes by Design - signature style.

I added a TXT file with the instructions for you to download for later if you need.

Thanks for this mod Chris. I think it looks so much better than the default notice.

Your welcome Peggy. Yeah I agree the standard notice look is so boring.

no screen short....

You don't need one.

sorry but what looks different?

It's dressed up a bit, and not in a box.

Look at it in any other style, then go back to the Themes by Design - signature style.

ah yes i see, sorry i was using the wrong style lol...looks sweet.

Glad you like it. Thanks!
