Only Flexile is upgraded so far (out of my themes, anyway). Flexile Dark is coming soon but it's a lot of work to do each style.

Erik, the colors of the "New" indicator seem to be off in the dark skin.

You're right, I'll release an update tomorrow.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for the update. I think the way to change forum read/un-read icons has changed? I removed the same as I always do as per your F.A.Q but now there is no icons there at all, any ideas? thanks

Check your thread prefixes as well guys.
Depending which colours you're using you may have to add some EXTRA.css - example hardcoded black here:

.prefix.prefixSecondary {
    color: #000000 !important;
}

so can you just upgrade the theme? or do I have to completely uninstall the old one, delete the style files and start over again from scratch? sorry if this is a stupid question but I need to know

so you just overwrote all the files and installed the standalone again?

Typically - if you have custom changes done - it may not work great...

thats my issue

Yes, now they are in a single sprite image as per the move to CSS sprites in XenForo 1.1. What you'll have to do is edit /styles/flexiledark/xenforo/node-sprite.png and replace the icons inside that image with your own. For reference, each one is 44px wide (or rather, the image should be divided up into four 44px sections).

Check your thread prefixes as well guys.

.prefix.prefixSecondary {
    color: #000000 !important;
}

Yes, this could be an issue. Does anyone know if these thread prefixes can be controlled via Style Properties? I just assumed they were hardcoded and so it wasn't worth the time to try and change them all as board owners would likely change them anyways...

thats my issue

This is why I recommend making all your changes under a child style to the base Flexile/Flexile Dark style. Please read this for more info:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/flexile-dark.9938/page-9#post-181374 (see the last set of bullet points in that post)

This time you're just going to have to backup any changes you have made in EXTRA.css, then go to Import New Style and overwrite the old Flexile Dark with the new Flexile Dark (and update the base Flexile, if you aren't using the Flexile Dark standalone version). Upload the upload directory to your server to add any new images, and then you'll just have to redo any changes you have made.

Fix for the New indicator (not worth releasing an update for):

1. Go to Style Properties > Message Elements > New Indicator (outer)
2. Change the Text Color Property to the Content Background color.
3. Save

*fires up xammp - goes to test board*
Nope, not as far as I can see anyways. The only thing of any relevance is: thread_prefixes.css
A simple EXTRA.css would suffice and is no doubt the best approach, no major hassle.

Edit, I'll add an illustration which shows it up, for people who don't know what the heck we're on about
