XF 2.2 Determining Styles / Themes

[PaulProe]

We are moving a site from vBulletin4 to Xenforo. Part of the process is changing to a new theme (or style, not sure what the correct Xenforo term is)

Is there a way to quickly identify styles you see on a particular site? With vBulletin, I would look at the source code and often the style name or author was buried in the code.

When I find a Xenforo based site I like, I look at the code but not seeing any ties to a given theme or Author. Is there a trick on how to identify one? This link to a Corvette Xenforo forum is a good example:

In general style designers do not embed anything which identifies them, although there are some well known designers and it is possible to work out if it's their style or not by the code.

The site you have linked to has their own custom set up over a number of sites.

Sometimes you can see the information in the footer on who developed the style, otherwise as above.

There are probably only a handful of good theme/style designers for xenforo
