FORUM SUGGESTION: A REALLY cool forum theme
« on: November 26, 2019, 07:19:43 PM »
I'm okay with the themes we have now, but if these are the Platform Builder forums, WHY don't we have an appropriate theme? I mean, come on! Just picture an awesome looking theme. What about a random background generator? (I've heard of forums with that) with screenshots of different PB games and menus in PB. And why not use other neat things like for new posts having the ! block and for topics that you've read have a blank block, or how about PB emojis??? I mean, we could create a TRUE Platform Builder forum with these changes. I believe would give the forum new life.
EDIT:Fixed spelling and grammar mistakes

Okay, i've downloaded the ambassador template the forum uses by default and changed the background by the grey brick pattern used on the PB wiki.

Here you can download Ambassador, the default template of the forum
https://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2365
In the css folder there is a file called "index" I followed a tutorial on internet to put a brick sprite in the background
You just have to replace the original index file by my file so it will work
But IDK how to upload the theme to the forum, TingThing should upload it to test.
