Thanks Immanuel, as soon as this pre release has been tested I will start adding things to it, by the time I am done it will be more of a theme MOD than a style MOD
Nice to see my instructions wernt so bad as to be completely unusable  glad you got it up and running
I didnt think I would like the Arial option, but it looks quite bold and pleasent

I have added the Colour Picker Turbo! MOD to it now, I have updated the sample site and the source download
You can download my latest code here: Code Download
You can see the code in action here: Example Forum
The changes are mostly to the Style design page so if you have already installed the MOD, just follow these simple instructions to update...
Step 1
Upload admin_config_colors.asp (you will need to replace the existing file), pop_color.asp and icon_color.gif (put this in your images directory if you specified one)
Step 2
Add this to inc_iconfiles.asp
Const strIconColor = "icon_color.gif|15|15"
Thats it
Let me know what you think of the update, and I made a new icon for the color selector, I like it better than the old one but what do you lot think of it?  |

OK, mafe, I have included an updated version of stylesetup.asp in the zip, it should work now I think
If you run the file again it will create another record in your database called Default (you cant delete records named default) so you will have to check and delete one of the "Default" records from the FORUM_STYLES table if there is more than one
I am guessing you are using a fussy version of MSSQL or MYSQL?
Bonkers, looks like its there to me
At risk of irritating everyone, there is another update to admin_config_colors.asp
I have added code so that the preview column is updated when the page loads rather than when each record loses its focus |

I added another fix to stylesetup.asp if you want to try it again
Also, I added a rename feature to admin_config_colors.asp I had a little trouble getting it to maintain everyones styles while renaming it, (they are referenced by name rather than id) but it works ok now, saves you editing the database if you named a style wrong and want to change it
Note that the styles on the site are now "Blue Sky" and "Very Green" 
Next two items on my todo list are:-
The ability for the admin to edit other people style settings: kinda explains itself (will fix that "bug" listed in the readme)
Setting different icons, buttons, and title images for different styles: this is the thing that will turn this into a Theme MOD instead of a Style MOD
quote:
When I add the ability to have different images, I think I will do somthing like this...
I will move the "Images Location:" item from admin_config_system.asp into my admin_config_style.asp so that each style can have its own directory of images, so you can have different smilies, background images, logo image, buttons etc for each style
Having different images for each style, means you can have sets for light and dark backgrounds, removing the visible antialiasing from the image
It will also mean you can name the files the same for each style and keep them all seperate, which will make it easier for you when I write the Import/Export feature for you to swap styles
The obvious downside to this is that some images are going to be duplicated, which will use up a little more diskspace
To be honest I think the Admin fix is gonna be harder to do than the theme feature |

Maybe change the Update message, so it says 0.91b instead of 0.9b, when we do the dbs?

Right, version 0.92b is out now
Admins can now edit what style members are using, and you can now have different iconsets with your styles
I have renamed the old "Blue Sky" style to "Windows XP" and am using the XP icons for that style, the normal icons are being used on the other styles
If you want to use the XP icons change the image location option to "xp/"
I have added another readme to the zip file for people who have an old version installed, and there is also an extra dbs and setup file for you to update the database to the new version
Download the latest version here: Download
Test the MOD here: Test |

I have converted the instructions and readme to HTML now, they are a lot easier to read
I have also tried to make the instructions a little easier to understand, I will install the MOD using the instructions later and see if I can make it even easier
I dont know how admin_config_system got into the zip, it wasnt supposed to be in there, I have removed it now
Has everyone managed to get it set up all right?
I am guessing you either got it working, did it by hand or gave up Mafe?
Please tell me if you find any bugs, there are bound to be some I missed, as soon as its all working properly I will got to release 1.0f and start working on more features to add it it
Oh, and for your information, the zip has now been downloaded 50 times  |

I spent the last few days recovering from an illness. I haven't installed your MOD yet, but I am looking forward to it.
I will have to redownload the HTML help file. Thanks for putting in the extra effort. It will be worth it!

You have a bug? Better install a patch
Hope you feel better soon
Anyway, I just followed my instructions to setup the MOD on a clean installation of 3.4.01 and found quite a bit that needed changing; I have also removed some ambiguities that could of been confusing
So, you should be able to follow those instructions word for word and have no problems, excluding bugs if you happen across one
All I have to hope now is that when 3.4.02 is released it doesn’t mess me over
By this time, I would think the readme files have more bugs in it than the MOD
The zip has been uploaded to the usual location, that being here
