TAd · Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2010 7:47 pm

I am releasing a Beta of this modified RavenIce theme. I am still testing on rn2.30.02. (Yes I will be upgrading soon). If anyone is interested in testing it out please let me know if you find anything. I am kind of interested in some feedback on the colors I have chosen for text etc. Confused

, and you can see a demo there (the site is running an old version of RN - something like rn 2.30). The colors look good, but I did notice that the permanent gallery link in the header points to "yourwebsite.com".

Thank you kguske Smile

Very nice! I placed a readme in the install with directions on how to edit the Gallery link. I hope that helps. Smile

PS I also located an error. I see it in the forums footer, it is showing the incorrect (blue) folders. I am trying to track it down now. And I am having problems locating the code to correct it...

Ok I located a few links within the forums that I had missed, I have corrected them and uploaded a new version. The Readme file now states that it is Beta Version 0.2 release

How embarrassing! Embarassed

Please update your theme installs to assure that you are not pulling images from the RavenIce theme Smile

I have another update, but I want to try and check it out a bit more before I release it. Hopefully causing less work for anyone following it and trying to update it.

Corrections include news article backgrounds, editing of various other background colors. There was some very subtle variation in the grays that showed up on my calibrated monitor that bothered me Smile

Also, I completed a rough edit for a center forum block but I am hesitant on releasing it for a few reasons.

1) Not W3C compliance checked
2) There are some display characteristics I want to work on.
3) It is something that is not in the original theme.

If you have any thoughts on it, please do not hesitate to chime in. Likewise if you have a nice forum center block let me know. It is possible it may work better than the one I have.

Best regards,
TAd

Released 0.6! This update brings this up to RN 2.40.1

The link in the original post has been updated for the new file. By default, I have commented out the Gallery link in the default menu. There are also instructions (with a thank you to spasticdonkey) for adding a Gallery link to the nukeNav menu. If you want a Gallery link, you must edit the files. Please see the Readme for more info.

I have decided not to include the center block, to keep things simple. I used the current RavenIce (RN 2.40.1) theme and recreated my edits, on first glance there were a lot of changes and this seemed the best way to proceed.
