Hi eref,

Did you try this document:

http://www.aspplayground....omization-m399461.aspx

And yes, it is totally difference from ASP, as we use native ASP.NET technology like Skins and User Controls.

well.. i started 8 years ago on snitz2000 forums, I modded a lot just html/asp
then moved to aspplayground, because of it's better performance, unfortunately compared to snitz less options. snitz has a much bigger community programming mods. but most of them not always good.
But I could handle aspplayground v2.x, asp isn't that difficult.
This is a step beyond my knowledge :).. but I have some friends around who can help me out. I'll manage. And if not, I surely can ask icedog, and of course, a reasonable fee is no problem.

If it's your first time and you haven't done much moding of the software it can be a bit frustrating. I've got too much on my plate right now or I'd help you out. If you are willing to through a bit of cash at the problem you could try IceDog. He's the man when it comes to themes here but he will probably want a little compensation for his time.

Well I spend a few hours finding out what to do where to modify the new themes. It's just to confusing for me, to find out what file to open to change this.. and then open an other file to change that. I am a bit discouraged.

Initially it doesn't look much different than some of the other themes but the user information on the right instead of the left in the message display is going to be a bit more work to figure out. It would probably take a couple days for someone to do it I would guess.

sry, have been busy at work installing new mailserver :)

I think this is a very nice theme.

Depends on the theme. Some take a good day to convert, Others can take a couple days. There is quite a range in the way themes are applied in phpBB.

Was there a specific one that you wanted to have converted?

how much time does it take to convert a phpbb theme to asppgd?

Thanks.. I still have a hand full of things to work out but got side tracked with the mobile theme project.

Well I got a good start...Still need to do some tweaking here and there:

Looks real good! I definitely prefer that theme with your forum than the aero-blue. Just because it's more fitting to your theme.

Don't forget to change the smallcat cell.

Looking good IceDog! Just posted mine today too. I'm finishing up a sitewide theme intregration tool and then I plan to start on the Submerged one next.

Sweet. I know a person who also was working on an Aero Green theme. Seems to be the more popular choice, lol. Good luck on the Submerged. Keep us updated.

to be frank with you IceDog, yours does look better than the original!! I am unable to see the Post buttons though on your site.

By the way, did you notice that in the Aero package Samuel posted, he simply name the png files with .gif extension? It is a strange workaround to me but it flat out works! Browsers still manage to know what type of images they really are.

I haven't downloaded it. He could have just cut out the small bits of transparent material. I didn't do it because I felt it lost some of the glassy feel when I tried it. I didn't know that simply renaming the extension would work. Awesome.

Thanks for the compliment! Actually, I made the 'Post'/'RSS'/'Thread Options' buttons transparent and their children have the same background as the children on the navbar. I guess I have to work on it some more.
