I guess I could find out. Would this be 'safe' theres nothing I cant undo easily yeh?
Changing the width won't cause any problems apart from how things display.
You can always reset it/change it back with no lasting effects.
If you want to test things you can create a new style and set it as not user selectable.
Then you can fiddle around with it and only administrators will have access to it.

It depends on how much customization you have done. In terms of fixed vs. fluid width, yes, the only difference between this style and the default in that regard is what I posted above.
The other customizations (big banner, mods) may require some extra work but the only way to find out is to install the style and check.
Any extra customizations required would probably be pretty easy.And yes, this is 'safe'. You can always set the style as non-user-selectable (so only you can see it), and you can always delete the style and re-import it if you screw something up.

Thanks Brogan and Erik for the help.
I just tried it and it looks REALLY nice. First thing I noticed was on my "home" page which is my portal. The 4th news post down where I have custom BBcodes, the text displayed after pressing the "click me" button is not visible.
Man I realllllly like this template.
Erik ill leave the template as selectable even for guests so you may have a look for yourself
keep up the good work! Im very much considering the change and of course a nice dono.

I agree, it looks good when used sparingly, but here it is (exact same hex color) applied to Flexile Dark:
Personally I like the dark blue much better, but if you want to go with a lighter gold or orange I can give you instructions on what you'll need to change.

It uses blue, but its a much lighter blue... and the text on the blue is gold.

I tried changing it to just a lighter blue, and I think it worked well:
Here is a lighter blue with gold text:
I think the bright blue is the best option out of everything I've tried so far, as it matches with the text and the rest of the style well.

Do i just need to upgrade the Flexile dark? Or do I also have to import the flexile(original)xml file as well for the upgrade?
Also any chance I can use my own read & unread widgets? I tried using mine which are transparent but it didnt come out exactly right, is there a way I can make these work? Thanks.

For this update, you only need to update Flexile Dark. You should also re-upload the image folder as it contains some new images that are part of the fixes.
To use your own read and unread widgets, find this CSS in the node_list.css template:
Code:
.node .forumNodeInfo .nodeIcon,
.node .categoryForumNodeInfo .nodeIcon
{
background-image: url(@forumIconReadPath);
background-color: @primaryLightish;
}
.node .forumNodeInfo.unread .nodeIcon,
.node .categoryForumNodeInfo.unread .nodeIcon
{
background-image: url(@forumIconUnreadPath);
background-color: @primaryMedium;
}Then remove the background-color line from each of those groups.
