Try it on the live demo
Open the demo forum and pick NightDriver in the "Try a theme" bar at the top.
A complete XenForo 2.3 theme for drivers and builders: a dark dashboard look with mint neon, ranks in their own colours, a steering wheel around the avatar that turns when you point at a post, and badges for the regulars. Built on XenForo’s own pages and widgets.
Highlights
- Dashboard glow. Mint neon on dark glass, in two colour modes.
- Fully responsive. Every page fits a phone, and the editor keeps its main keys on one row.
- One admin page. The banner, the views and the theme’s parts are set on the theme’s own admin page.
- Ranks in colour. Every post shows where its author stands. The author’s rank in its own colour, a steering-wheel ring around the avatar that turns on hover, and a badge row for the regulars.
- Three thread views. List, Cards and Gauges. Visitors switch a forum’s threads between the three views.
- A reply editor on the dashboard. One row of keys and smilies. The formatting keys in one row, three “more” keys on phones and a row of your board’s smilies.
- XenForo underneath. Native buttons and moderation. Report, Edit, Like and Reply are XenForo’s own buttons, and inline moderation works as usual.
Welcome banners
- For guests: The night-drive banner. The forum’s name, its pitch and the way in.
- For signed-in members: Straight to the threads. A compact banner so regulars reach the topics faster.

Pricing
€25 excluding VAT for a permanent licence for one live forum, with 6 months of updates and support included. After that, updates and support renew automatically at €20 excluding VAT every 6 months; you can cancel at any time and the theme keeps working. VAT is added at checkout where it applies. Payments are handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record.
Licence verification (external requests)
The theme works fully without a licence key. Once you enter a key on the theme's Licence tab, the add-on contacts erkanshi.com when you save the key and then about once a week (scheduled task). It sends: your licence key, the product name, a random ID generated on your board, your board URL and board title, the installed versions of the theme, XenForo and PHP, and a one-time random value. Nothing is sent during installation or uninstallation, and nothing is locked if our server cannot be reached.
