Aero is available now.

Looks like the new custom themes don't pick up the site logo, but I'll sort that over the next few days. I am liking my train banner on We_Universal though. I might see if I can sort out nifty banners for the rest of the themes.

(BTW: I'm used to calling them themes, even though the phpBB convention is to call them styles, but it means the same thing.)

Movin' right along. Lookin' good.

I guess it's OK to delete the files on my server now, or do you need me to keep them around for a bit?

Should be fine to delete them. Liroy has a full backup of everything anyway, and I'll take a backup of this new site myself today. Maybe leave it until tomorrow just to be ultra safe.

One thing is that the old account has a site backup file sitting in the backups directory. I made that just before the move, and it's just shy of 4 gig. Might want to delete that immediately, just to save on disc space.

Actually, it looks like you did two backups. One on the 10th and one on the 11th. I deleted them both. I'll leave the files on my server for another day or two, just in case.

As for the header stuff, I think what you're looking for is found in the prosilver\template\overall_header.html (other styles inherit from prosilver)file under the site-description class and in the areo\theme\common.css file under the same class, if that helps any.

Yup. I have been looking through the templates to start getting my head around them. Seems pretty straightforward. Shouldn't take long to get the important bits figured out.

Can't say I'll ever be a huge fan of their coding style though. Doing PHP conditionals in templates as HTML comment format? That's some seriously weird formatting.

I hear ya'.

Oh yea! If you happen to find a Black Aero style, that would be cool.

It's part of the whole thing. There's a tiny paintbrush icon next to the theme selector. Just to the left. Took me a while to find it too. Anyway it lets you pick from half a dozen colour schemes (some of which are pretty appalling).

Ah!!!!! Cool!

I'm thinking I might edit the code to disable the really gruesome ones.

There's actually only two I like; the blue and black, but that's just my humble opinion.
