Porting PHPBB themes to MyBB

Dustinvgmaster · 01-25-2018, 12:23 AM

A lot of these don’t carry over the mobile tweaks that @Xander made, I’m noticing.

I am aware thtat the top menu bar isn’t the same comparing the New MFGG theme. Any other Xander tweaks and I need to carry on the ported themes? I will fix these accordingly.

is the Default MFGG Classic skin on the phpbb forums ?

**Vitiman** · 02-08-2018, 03:03 AM

Do you mean the one that used to be used on the Invision Power Board from 2003-2009? If so, yes! That's actually one of the first themes @Hypernova ported over (which I helped a little bit with by supplying bigger star graphics)

some historic skins that should be ported:
2009-2010 phpbb skin
MFGG Retro Invision Power Board Skin (aka EZ Boards Skin)

Gotta preserve history man

Sounds good! I will go ahead and port these over this weekend. Since “Simplistic Green” is been up for around a week, are there any issues with the theme itself so far?

but how you can import the invision themes there?

**Vitiman** · 02-08-2018, 11:04 PM

It requires remaking them from scratch, it's not an automated process.

Hello folks! I am here to announce that MFGG Main Site (2009) theme is now available for all users. I have also built an alternative Evening Chill (Legacy) for those who are facing performance issues.

What's the difference between Evening Chill and Evening Chill legacy?

Essentially, "Evening Chill" is the original slightly modified port of my phpBB theme that Hypernova made. It's arguably prettier (even if he egregiously changed certain icons without my consent) because it uses a fake blur effect, but this evidently slows down certain hardware, so a version without the blur effect was made called 'Evening Chill Legacy", named as such because my original theme didn't have a blur effect to begin with.

Awesome, Hypernova; using that skin now ("MFGG Main Site (2009)"). Thanks so much; I definitely appreciate it.

I have a quick announcement to make:
Thanks to @Yoshin, I have discovered a bug that custom images like forum icons, reply buttons, etc. will set to default with Firefox. I am proud to announce that Firefox users can enjoy the new look with the themes!

You're doing the lord's work.

**VinnyVideo** · 04-14-2018, 05:16 PM

Muchas gracias @Hypernova! I should give you about ten Big Help badges for all the awesome work you've been doing with the skins.

Also, I usually use Firefox to browse MFGG, and for a while I didn't realize the forum icons were different on different skins. I'm glad you fixed that bug.

Course clear! You got a card.

I took a look at each of the skins you ported over, and I can say that you've done a good job so far, Hypernova, keep it up! I like how each skin has their own coin image. Besides some missing images (Simplistic Green seems to be missing a "New Topic" image, and Evening Chill also has a few missing images), one problem I'd like to point out is that in MFGG Classic, the user avatar is a bit more on the right than I think it should be.

@Q-Nova These issues should be fixed by now. Turns out that there are some old codes I forget to clear that causes the issues.

I checked them again, and the problems are still there. I think there's a possibility that the problems could have something to do with the computer/browser (maybe it needs to be rebooted) I'm using, though, rather than the code itself. The reason why I think so is because in Simplistic Green, it seems that the Reply image only appears sometimes, rather than all the time.

Try clearing your browser cache and see what happens. Usually that’s the culprit.
