Bring a little fresh air to your forum. Life & Earth is a warm, cheerful theme with a little old-school forum charm. Blue skies, soft clouds and sunshine above, with grass, earth and a wooden chair below. Somewhere to settle in and enjoy a good conversation.
Demo
Light and dark
Life & Earth comes with light and dark versions. The sunny sky becomes a moonlit evening. Members can pick light, dark or follow their device through the sliders button in the navigation. The choice is remembered.
The header
The illustrated sky gives the theme its summer feel. A brown navigation bar sits underneath, with curved tabs, and a gold edge and a little gloss. The selected tab turns green, carrying the colour through to the category titles. Those have their own fine highlight and brown lower border.
A little garden below
The forum runs into a grass-and-earth footer, with a chair off to the side. Add a few words about your community and your own links through Style Properties. Add as many links as you need, or switch the custom footer off.
Make it yours
Change the artwork, colours, header heights, welcome text and footer content through Style Properties. The logo, fonts and forum width use XenForo’s usual settings. Prefer less shine? The navigation and category gloss can be switched off too.
A reading bar for long threads
Scroll down a thread and a small bar appears with the thread title, a bookmark button, back to top and reply.
Staff tools in one place
Moderators and admins get a single shield icon next to their avatar. It keeps the staff links together and shows the tools their permissions allow.
Requirements and installation
Life & Earth requires:
Install AC-XenFrame-1.0.0.zip through Admin CP → Add-ons → Install/upgrade from archive. Then import Life-and-Earth.zip through Admin CP → Appearance → Styles → Import, as a new style with no parent. The artwork, logo, font and script come along with the import, so there’s nothing to upload by hand.
XenFrame is the small framework behind the appearance button, the reading bar and the staff shield. It’s shared with my other themes, so if you already have the same or a newer version installed, you can skip that step. The footer has a small “Theme by Administrata.net” credit, which can be removed with a copyright removal code under Admin CP → Options → XenFrame.
