Black and Gold 3.5
Mod Version: 1.5, by Andrew

As promised I have ported over my popular Black and Gold style from vB 3.0.X to vB 3.5 and I have also made some minor changes to it. I received a lot of requests to apply the category spacing modification to the old version; however, due to time constraints I was never able to get that completed but have included it with this release (If you would like a version without this please let me know and I can release it as well.) I also modified a few of the images but the majority of them remain the same as in the previous version.

As always please let me know of any issues with the style - I tested it pretty thoroughly and wasn't able to find anything out of place but I have missed things before.

* Updated the .XML file for vBulletin 3.5.4.
* Added reworked status icons for the threads courtesy of dvsDave.

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost find:

HTML Code:

	<tr align="center">
	  <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
	  <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
	  </if>
	</tr>

And replace it with:

HTML Code:

	<tr align="center">
	  <td class="thead" width="41">&nbsp;</td>
	  <td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="60">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="60">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
	  <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
	  <td class="thead" width="125">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
	  </if>
	</tr>

You might need to alter the individual widths to suit your forum, but for the most part this should fix the spacing problem. Please keep in mind though that if you have a thread title that is really long (Like a URL) it will still throw the alignment out of wack and that is unavoidable.

Here you go - This should give you a pretty good idea on how to install styles:

Quote by Andrew

First step is to upload (via FTP) the images from this style to your website. Just overwrite my images folder to the existing images folder (It won't delete the old stuff - Just add the new images to it.)

Once you upload the images goto Styles and Templates >> Download / Upload Styles in your AdminCP.

On the Download / Upload Styles page click the Browse button next to "EITHER upload the XML file from your computer" and find the "black_and_gold.xml" and open it.

Finally press the Import button and it should do the rest of the work for you. If you have any other questions or can't get that to work let me know and I'll try and help as best as I can.
