I thought the database error screen was ugly so I decided to make something more visually appealing (not much!) than the original screen.
Step 1)
Upload the 2 gif's to your includes directory (you can move them wherever you want if you edit the code)
Step 2)
Update the below template so the images are their full URL paths
(ie.. https://site.com/forum/images/blah.gif)
Step 3)
replace the contents of includes/database_error_page.html with:
There you have it! A better looking error message when things go wrong.
You can customize the images, error message, and colors to your liking.
