OpenGFX skin

[DJ Nekkid]

Now as OpenGFX is "finished", what about a opengfx forum skin?

[Chrill]

Surely this has been suggested before, as with a Locomotion theme. I believe the official stance is "Go ahead, create it".

[orudge]

Pretty much. One can save all the images from the page here, just replace as appropriate.

[petert]

Here, you can download the images with wget -m http://www.tt-forums.net/styles/ott/ (I believe that's the right command).

[orudge]

No, you can't.

Since nobody actually did this, I've gone and done it, I think I've found all the correct images (that need replacing), I've saved them in correct directories to make it easier to set up a clone of the Original graphics theme using OpenGFX sprites where possible.

I'm not too sure about the openGFX search logo, I just used the replacement sprite provided for the magnifying glass.

Anyway see what you think.

If that's it, I'll try and do a lomo one.

Thanks for that, lawton27. The images seem to look fine enough. I'll see what can be done - it may be the entire TT theme just has to be cloned and have the images replaced, which may be a bit of a faff. I'll see.

If that's it, I'll try and do a lomo one.

With Locomotion, you'll probably want to actually change the actual template. You can install phpBB from www.phpbb.com and play around with the subSilver2 template, if desired.

I think a LoMo one would work with a simple image replacement the same as TTD/OpenGFX would. They have similar appearances, at least.
The only thing missing I think though, is images for the winter theme.

(And possibly an OpenGFX winter theme)

[WWTBAM]

Same for LoMo. One could argue LoMo theme should be redish rather than TT Grey.

I can quickly put together what we need for that, the only things that change (and rely on the base set) are the background and the logo right? I can't remember what the winter logo looks like, could someone attach it so I can copy?

[Lord Aro]

Same goes for 32bpp as well....and the logo has already been made for that...

[Gremnon]

We're going to be flooded for choice here...

TTD and TTD winter (current scheme)
OpenGFX (+winter)
32bpp (+winter)
LoMo (+winter)

If the winter ones are open to being selected as well, that's at least 8 schemes, not including the bog-standard ones.

Which is rather a lot of administrative effort, particularly every time phpBB is upgraded. It's enough of a pain to maintain three themes, to be honest. I'm not sure I'd really fancy dealing with eight...

In that case I won't bother making an OpenGFX winter theme, the regular one is more that suitable. If you do need a winter version I'll happily make it just drop me a PM or post here.
