Thanks!

Nicely done. Do you have a live demo? I'm curious to see whether the CSS3 gradients actually make the style appear slower because the browser has to render all of them instead of simply using images...

How can i change the Node Icons (read & unread) in 1.1? I dont like the Default Whisper 2 Icons, can you please tell me how to replace them?

Thanks, Erik! No demo at the moment, I havn't updated all my forums yet. CSS3 gradients significantly improve site load and reduce server load. That is because they save a lot of requests. What about performance I checked the responsivness in different browsers and it is the same as we browse the site with gradients as images. What really can slow down a site are the box-shadows. The more big shadows you have the slower will site react. I tried to use only 1px - 3px shadows.

Open Whisper 2 style properties and navigate to Node Icons property.
For forum read use Node Icon: Forum property, for forum unread use Node Icon: Unread Forum.

I'm curious, how did you go about moving everything into EXTRA.css? Did you essentially re-create the style from scratch?

 

[CyberAP]

I reverted all customized templates, redone colour palette, changed lots of style properties and then used extra.css for fine-tuning. I had to move some gradients to a scalar multi-line property to able to include them in templates (otherwise they will disappear). All this was done in 2 days.

Added demo in the first post. Also new version is out!

 

[Shinjiru]

Hi,

The Notices are always in bold, is this intended?

 

[CyberAP]

Yes. You can change this in style properties.

 

[Shinjiru]

can you tell me where I can find the setting? i have searched in the notice settings, but found nothing. but if it is very difficult to convert, then I would rather leave it as is. thx mate

 

[CyberAP]

Go to Style Properties: Notices > panelScroller and in Miscellaneous change the font-size.

CyberAP. I've installed the theme with your earlier version and updated it with the latest one. As I usally do, I import a style, make it unselectable for users and then I import the same style as a "child style" to the previously imported.

Would you consider adding support for AzuCloud and Who Has Read A Thread?

I also applied Jaxel's Sub Forum Grid Listing. It's a ton of modification.

If there is a less painfull way, avoiding manual edits I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Could you please provide a link to your forum? This will speed up the fixing process

It looks as it should

Am I doing the style upgrade right CyberAP ? I don't know if it were worthwhile addin a subforum grid view out of the box as a theme feature so I figured I ask...I've send you a PC for the link. http://cyberap.ru/

You should import the style and call it Whisper 2 - Update, then hide it from users.
Then create new empty style called Whisper 2. Use it as a primary style and make all the changes there.
