[Request] Football Theme
« on: January 21, 2011, 09:15:40 pm »

Hello!

I would like to request a Football Themed Board.  I know there was a football theme around here, but its background is difficult to see for the majority of the members as they have "eye-sight" problems because its black.  I only want to use it for Superbowl weekend and believe it or not that board turns away our members because of it being so dark.

I do not know where to find it again or even how to modify it.  If someone could humor me, I would greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks!

What I tend to do when I can't find a theme that meets my needs is edit the background of another Theme.

My favourite to edit is Nutz' PNG Goodness.

You can find that here; PNG Goodness



Install the theme on your forum. Find the image that you would like to use in the background, make sure its 1280x1024 in size.

Get the link to that Image.

You need to replace the background image on the current theme with yours so we need to edit the CSS for that.



Admin > Manage Styles > Modify Style > Choose the Theme you installed > Then go down to the CSS section at the bottom and and find this bit of code;
Code: [Select]
/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
        background-image: url(http://imageURLhere);
        background-color: #000000;
margin: 0px;
padding: 12px 130px 4px 130px;
        background-repeat: repeat;
        background-position: center center;
        background-attachment: fixed;
}


And replace the Image URL.

Hit save and your done.

Hope this helps and THANKYOU to NUTZ for the great theme!!

Hi...

I went to the preview and I don't see anything that resembles Football - the theme is blank?
The football theme I originally saw was a "football field" and the entire background was black with the "yard-lines" and "goals"...

Thank you, I am a bit confused as usual :idiot2:

There is a football theme here:
http://www.smfsupport.com/support/stylesheet-codes/(stylesheet)-football-transparent/msg37070/
I also did one for the superbowl the past 2 years but havent had time to redo it for this year yet...  Ill see to doing that early next week (hopefully)

So ya know.. there is an index that lists the stylesheets posted here at support.  It is pinned to the top of the Stylesheet board and that football theme is listed on it  ;)

Hi Sibyl,

I looked and must have overlooked it... Sorry about that :)

Thanks!!

Sibyl,

Yours was the one I had seen on here a while back and wanted to use again, but the background being "black" was too much for those on my forum with eye-issues (such as cataracts and glaucoma).  Is there a way for the background to be changed to a lighter color?  My husband said he would do it for me if that would be ok with you - permission wise.

Thank you :)

You would change the background color and also edit one of the graphics images.

In the css look for:

Code: [Select]
/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
        background-image: url(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m105/mysmileyplace/stylesheets/footballfieldbg.png);
        background-color: #000000;
        margin: auto;
        width: 780px;
        padding-top: 12px;
        padding-bottom: 4px;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-position: center center;
        background-attachment: fixed;
}

Change background-color: #000000;   to the color you want to use

Grab the image from the above code  ( http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m105/mysmileyplace/stylesheets/footballfieldbg.png )  and edit it to change the black at the top of it to the color you want to use.   Then upload it to an image hosting service and replace the url in the css with your url.    Im afraid I have absolutely no time to do that today.

You are welcome.  I updated the Superbowl Theme earlier today if you want to look at that one.
You can find it here:
http://www.smfsupport.com/support/stylesheet-codes/(stylesheet)-superbowl/msg127062/?topicseen#msg127062

I neglected to do a screenshot of it but if you go up a post you can see the ones from prior years.  I replaced the background images with those of the teams playing this year and updated the banner logo.
