Hi Peter
I'm glad you like them. It was kind of a hard work to make them. There are many icons I still have to do for other functions, as sticky threads, unread stickies and so on...
The whole idea with this icon meters is to change the forum color schema to a more d8b style of colors (browns and grays) and, at the same time, have a full upgrade to the forum software and to the style template.
The author of the Absolution styles has upgraded the style. I do have installed a new style (named d8b) with a different color schema and some of the upgrades he has made to the style.
If you what to try it, do he following:
1) Enter your User Control Panel
2) Click on the Board preferences tab.
3) Click on the Edit global settings tag.
4) Go to My board style and select d8b from the pull down menu.
5) Click Submit.
If you don't like it, you can always reverse back to the Absolution style, that for the moment, is still the forum's default style.
Please let me know your thoughts about the d8b style for the forum. My intentions is to make this new style the default one.
The style is not really finished yet. I have lost some of the functionalities I had modded by hand (as having the links to open in a different browser window/tab) and the DATABASE link is missing in the header... I will be done but I need some more time.
All comments are welcome.
